The website lists what was No1 in UK, US, Australia, Canada & Germany so should give a few options for any one date.

Or from the year they were born if they didn't want to pinpoint when their birthday is.... if you were born when Bryan Adams was No. 1 that does give quite a range...:D

I'd rather give my birthday than the year I was born. ðŸ˜€

Actually I just checked what was no 1 when I was born, have never heard of either song from the US or UK.

I've struggled in almost every round. This is the best quality of all the decades I think, which has come as a surprise to me!

Yes, and I could have easily taken 20 nominations from people I reckon and it would still all have been quality. There were loads of songs I would have liked to include that didn't make the cut and no one else nominated them either
