Aha, that's a really handy tooling for my DJ birthday party gigs, can play the song from the day they were born...

And as luck would have it, this weekend I've 2 60th birthday parties, and the charts are only compiled from the end of 1945 on....typical!

kelle · 26-01-2005 7:16am

Crikey, I feel really old because I remember dancing to some of the above songs at discos! Anyway, "Yellow River" by Christie was number 1 and "Bridge over Troubled Water" by Simon and Garfunkel " was the number one album when I was born! I feel sorry for my younger brother as "Do you really want to hurt me" by Culture Club was number 1 when he was born. At the time I was only 12 and though Boy George was so cool and nobody mentioned words like "Gay" or "puff" then. However, mum said if he was a meant to be a man (she wouldn't believe me when i said he was), then he must be some find of freak!

I find it really scary reading through this thread that I remember when a lot of the songs mentioned were actually in the charts. Why? Cos when I was born, Peters & Lee - Welcome Home was No 1.

Strange that, according the Guinness Book of Hit Singles Abba's "The Winner Takes it All" was number one on the day I was born... I think I'll go with the Guinness answer, it's definitely more apt.
