Have you seen this? www.thisdayinmusic.com

It shows you what was No.1 in the charts 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

Loads of other good music trivia on the site as well.

I was a high school teacher in New York when Cobain died. My students asked me what I thought about it, and I had to say I didn't even know who he was. I think I lost a lot of respect from them that day! And, I'm from Seattle :eek:

You didn't miss much. But it's a shame the only way out was being killed by his psycho wife.

In the UK, it was The Boomtown Rats "I Don't Like Mondays".

Neither do I.

[mad jew]

Ghostbusters - Ray Parker Jr. :(

I think you've gotta be a bit weird to actually like the song that was number one when you were born.

[dubbz]

UK: Julio Iglesias - Begin The Beguine
US: Olivia Newton-John - Physical

Hmm..Ok..

I think you've gotta be a bit weird to actually like the song that was number one when you were born.

After listening to "my" two songs, I think you're right :eek: They're horrible.

[lavar78]

I think you've gotta be a bit weird to actually like the song that was number one when you were born.
... or you just happen to like "older" music. I love the 60s, 70s, and 80s. I quite like "my" song ("Baby Come Back"). It's not one of my favorites, but I wouldn't call it a bad song. I think I'll buy it from the iTMS since I don't have it yet. :)

BTW, I happen to like some cheesy songs (and no, I'm not ashamed). For instance, I have fond memories of "Ghostbusters" ("I ain't 'fraid of no ghost!").

[jefhatfield]

since most of the posters here are younger than me and have pretty cool (and recognizeable) #1 hits on their day of birth, i will post some more recent hits to signify my hs graduation, 21st birthday, 30th birthday, and 40th birthday

hs graduation - ebony and ivory...stevie wonder and paul mccartney
21st birthday - wake me up before you go go...wham
30th birthday - i'll do anything for you, but i won't do that...meat loaf
40th birthday - baby boy...beyonce

50th birthday - i am not there yet but i suppose it will not include any of the artists mentioned above

[MacDawg]

Autumn Leaves - Roger Williams

10/24/55

[jefhatfield]

Autumn Leaves - Roger Williams

10/24/55

roger who?

he he...i have someone named nino for my birthday in 1963 whom i believe very few can remember, so i guess you better put your hs graduation and 21st birthday #1 hits so the younguns here can somewhat relate to what was on the radio

off the top of my head, i think your hs graduation could very well be the beach boys/rolling stones or an early motown hit and your 21st could be something by the rolling stones or mid period beatles...oops, bad math...scratch that...i would say your 21st could be something in the disco era

[mannybianco]

Save all your kisses for me - Brotherhood of Man

[Ugg]

feb 21st 1990

Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O'Connor (UK) never heard of it


Man, I can't believe you've never heard this song! It is really incredible! I was just graduating from college then and can remember the first time I heard it. Her voice is powerfully haunting. Take a listen.

[~Shard~]

Man, I can't believe you've never heard this song! It is really incredible! I was just graduating from college then and can remember the first time I heard it. Her voice is powerfully haunting. Take a listen.

Doesn't surprise me though that he's never heard of it - he was 0 years old when it was out. ;) But yes, it is actually a decent song (saying this as not a Sinead fan myself) and worth a listen.

Oh no... I hope it's a purposeful key change!

*remembering when some girl sang the national anthem at a school thing and she changed keys every three words.*
That was the one day I hated being in instrumental... I noticed every key change... a lot of other people didn't.
She started in D major and ended in F Major! From Two sharps to one Flat is no easy feat to do....

You know what, CanadaRAM...I'm wondering why I'm hearing all these remakes of older songs on the radio lately. It seems like remakes are the new "in" thing. If that's the case, the music industry must be running out of ideas...which is almost always a sign that sweeping changes are imminent, not necessarily for the better of the industry involved, but better for us (I hope).

Marvin Gaye "Heard It Through The Grapevine"
The Bangles "Walk Like An Egyptian"
and Billy Joel "We Didn't Start The Fire"

I didn't bother to look at the UK charts, because even though I like a lot of British music, it never seems to be the SAME British music the Brits themselves like (ie, it never seems to be popular there)

Uptown Girl - Billy Joel :eek: :eek: :eek: (14 Nov '83)

Crazy...you're only four days older than me (18th November 1983).

But what about "All Night Long" (Lionel Ritchie) in the States? Not a good week for music, great week for MacRumors! :D

Now instead of telling people your birthday, you can tell them your song!

Edit: Nevermind. Mine on both charts is Barbara "No Talent" Streisand. No thanks.

The Number 1 single was:
The Timelords - "Doctorin' The Tardis"

The Number 1 album was:
Various artist compilation (CBS) - "Nite Flite"

This was June 18, 1988.. I obviously don't remember either, nor do I recall hearing the single or anything from that album.

I still have the cassette tape for The Timelords and "Doctorin' the TARDIS" - it was a favorite of mine at the time, being a Whovian and all. :cool:

On the day Sarah Palin was born 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' by The Beatles was at No.1.
