Bit of fun here, have you ever done this? http://www.thisdayinmusic.com

It shows you what song was at No.1 on the day you were born.

(Go to 'Birthday No.1' at the top of the site, it’s free, you don’t have to log in).

My number 1's are:
'You're So Vain' by Carly Simon in the US
'Long Haired Lover From Liverpool' by Little Jimmy Osmond in the UK
'Ben' by Michael Jacskon in Australia

Some are better than others!

Cool site! I've tried it and the number one song in US during my birth date is the song St Elmos Fire by John Parr...

And what about the UK and Australia?

I got:
The Power – Snap (UK)
Black Velvet - Alannah Myles (US)
Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O'Connor (AUS) <--- only one I know!
That is one neato site hehe

It's Dancing In The Street - David Bowie & Mick Jagger for UK
and We Don't Need Another Hero - Tina Turne for Australia.

UK- Do The Bartman - The Simpsons
AUS- I've Been Thinking About You - Londonbeat
US- All The Man I Need - Whitney Houston

Sorry,I did not check out the cool web-site,but I do remember vividly the very first two songs(I remember hearing--curretly playing on the radio) when i was growing up.They were "saturday in the park" by Chicago(transit authority) and "Benny and the jets" by Elton John. Merry Christ--mas to all. Chaz.
