My Bo’s Airworthiness Certificate was issued in February 24, 1969.

The top song that day? Sly and The Family Stone - Everyday People
 
Tex Williams Smoke! smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette)
August 1947
 
Looks like number 1 on the charts for the longest, nine weeks in 1960 goes to Percy Faith, Theme from “A Summer Place”. Back when music was actually good (I’m only 37yrs old). Interesting that an instrumental was so popular, beating a lot of Elvis songs that year.
 
Private Eyes by Hall and Oates. Later that month (Nov 81) was Physical by Olivia Newton John.
 
I don’t have specific songs or dates, but:

1940: Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Bing Crosby
1948: Art Mooney, Nat King Cole, Dinah Shore
1949: Spike Jones, Perry Como, Frankie Laine
1950: Andrew Sisters, Red Foley, Patti Page

Among others.
 
9/11/81. Endless Love - Diana Ross & Lionel Richie.....Thank God I wasn't alive for that...
 
Heartbreak hotel. Elvis. 1956

Heehee. May 1995. "This is how we do it" - Montell Jordan

 
So the day the airworthiness certificate was issued was also the very first day that the era of the Hot 100 was born.

Ricky Nelson - Poor Little Fool
 
2/20/79.....Da Ya Think I’m Sexy? by Rod Stewart.
.....why, yes, I do actually. AA5B
 
It's either "Low" Flo Rida featuring T-Pain (when I took delivery on the kit)

or

"See You Again" Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puthw. (when the airworthiness cert was issued)

Got no idea what or who any of that is.
 
Adele - Rolling in the deep

Whatever that is ....
 
"7 Rings" Ariana Grande... guess I'll go listen to it now.

Edit: Got through a minute of it. Spoiler- it's garbage...
 
November 14, 1973 -- Eddie Kendricks, "Keep on Truckin'"

Seems entirely appropriate for a 45+ year old airplane.
 
My Fairchild was DD250'd on 29 April 1944...."Love Love Love" by Guy Lombardo. The Stinson was 15 Dec 1944 and it was "I'm Making Believe", by The Ink Spots and Ella Fitzgerald
 
Don't know if this made number one, but if it did I'm gonna hunt down a plane that was airworthied then and buy that mofo

Carole King - It's Too Late / I Feel The Earth Move. I've heard of Carole King but have no idea what the song is.

Edit - I went and looked it up and I have heard that song before. Not bad for 1971.
