See what was at #1 on the day you were born

[Spiritinthesky]

Have you ever done this?

My number #1's are:
'You're So Vain' by Carly Simon in the US
'Long Haired Lover From Liverpool' by Little Jimmy Osmond in the UK
'Ben' by Michael Jackson in Australia

Evidently, they don't count music before the 70s.

The year scroll down starts at 1946 that's odd

I was born on the day Stalin died and on that day all music was #1

 

[Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe]

I don't really recall the song...

 

[Bill]

Yeah me too.

further Google-Fu finds it was Telstar by the Tornados. Never heard of it or them.

I was born way before electricity and around the time fire was discovered and the wheel was a distant dream......

Only song back then was a crude redition of brontosourus blues diddy..

 

[SCCutler]

Paul Anka, "Lonely Boy" (in US and Canada); in Australia, it was "The Battle of New Orleans" by Johnny Horton ("Well, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles, they ran through the bushes where a rabbit wouldn't go...")...

---

Bill, "Telstar" was a one-hit wonder, very early electronic music.

Not likely. Electricity has been around before the Earth formed.

 

[Captain]

Btw, my birthday has a song I've never heard of but does have a video...go figure. This before there were videos. I don't get it.

It may have existed, but back when I was a kid, man had not yet learned how to harness it so we had to watch television by candle light.

Yup.... Our TV was gas powered...

[Spiritinthesky]

Some good songs here!

 

[Blatham489]

Interesting - "The Stripper" is the title.

 

[Dr. O]

Well, mom loved the radio and sang along with it. She would have been hearing:
#1 was Judy Garland "Over The Rainbow"
#2 was Kate Smith "God Bless America"
#3 was Glenn Miller "In The Mood"

To which I say, God bless mom for being in the mood and dad for sending her over the rainbow.

If I move back 9 months prior it was
You must have Been a Beautiful Baby
Thanks For The Memories
Jeepers Creepers

I'll let the smart alec comments slide
