Ann22

I found this on a uk nostalgia forum. It tells you what was no. 1 in the charts on the day you were born, not the irish charts though but still interesting, mine is The Beatles 'Get Back':o.http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/birthdayno1

On the day i was born the number one in the UK was :"Rock your baby"- George McCrae. Never heard of him tbh.

"Feel like makin' love" - Roberta Flack in the U.S.

And the number one in the UK when i turned 18 was "Rhythm is a dancer" by Snap.:D

And the number one in the UK when i turned 21 was "Never Forget" by Take That.

Ok, now I don't feel so old...

In fairness Stove, take some consolation in the fact that your posts often make you seem like a big kid. :pac:

Also when I was born: some Wings song I've never heard of was number 1 in the States, and The Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive, in Oz.
You're The One That I Want by John Travolta and Olivia Newtown John was out around then too. 1978 really was the year for the sh1te "super hit".
