"What was No.1 on the day you were born?" You can check out which song was on the top of the pop charts that day in both the U.S. and the U.K. Though the note at the top of the page suggests that because the site's chart only begins in 1952, those born before that year use their 18th birthday instead. However, it'd be interesting to see which songs topped the charts for the 18th birthdays of those born after 1952 as well. GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
For me: Day of birth US: Theme From Shaft - Isaac Hayes UK: Cos I Luv You - Slade 18th birthday US: Blame It On The Rain - Milli Vanilli UK: You Got It (The Right Stuff) - New Kids On The Block Damn, I'm old! GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
Isaac Hayes probably didn't shave his head when I was born... US: Are You Lonely Tonight - Elvis UK: It's Now or Never - Elvis
2/27/86 US: Kyrie - Mr Mister UK: When The Going Gets Tough The Tough Get Going - Billy Ocean 18th bday US:Yeah - Usher feat Lil Jon and Ludacris UK: Who’s David -Busted
Day of Birth US - All I Have To Do Is Dream - The Everly Brothers UK - Who’s Sorry Now? - Connie Francis Wow! Two crappy songs! 18th B-Day US - Love Hangover - Diana Ross (?I don't even remember this song?!) UK - No Charge - J.J. Barrie Really?! Can't I choose?! This is depressing. QUAKES FOREVER!! GO WOLFF!! GO SSV!! fuaeg!! fumls!! - Mark
oops, forgot my 18th.... US: What A Fool Believes - The Doobie Brothers UK: Bright Eyes - Art Garfunkel My 21st.... US: I Love Rock ‘n Roll - Joan Jett & The Blackhearts UK: Seven Tears - The Goombay Dance Band
I so so so so remember this song!! LOVED Motown...something that dad just couldn't "get." And it's weird that decades later my dad would be one of the engineers to help restore the Motown Museum.
"I'll Be There" - Jackson 5 ("...with your little boys") "Band of Gold" - Freda Payne confused: 'Free the Pain'?)
Well, that's enough to bring out the disco ball... Damn dude too old... Always wondered what happened to those guys... ----- As for yours truly--the worst! I Feel For You - Chaka Khan (American with a top song in Britain) Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - Wham! (2 British poofters with a top tune in the USA!) ---- This gives me an idea...
I just HAVE to do my kids' b-days... US: You Light Up My Life - Debby Boone UK: Name Of The Game - Abba US: MacArthur Park - Donna Summer UK: Rat Trap - The Boomtown Rats US: Straight Up - Paula Abdul UK: Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart - Marc Almond with Gene Pitney
hmmm according to the website where we are finding our "hits," the tune on your 18th birthday is suppossed to be your "life's theme?" Mine is, What a Fool Believes????? What's that suppossed to mean?!?!?
0: US - Love Will Keep Us Together - Captain & Tennille UK - I'm Not In Love - 10cc 18: US - That's the Way Love Goes - Janet Jackson UK - Dreams - Gabrielle 21: US - Tha Crossroads - Bone Thugs-N-Harmony UK - Killing Me Softly - Fugees
4/19/61 US Runaway.....Del Shannon UK Wooden Heart......Elvis 18 US Knock on Wood.....Amii Stewart UK Bright Eyes........Art Garfunkel 2 points; Yalpstel...notice that your birth and my 18yr UK hit are the same, but the US #1 is different. How many weeks before or after 4/19/1977 were you born? Alliu23: Looking at how recent your music is, I would assume that watching the new Cosmos movie will get you credit in "Ancient History" in school
Alliu23 wasn't alive at any point during the Cosmos' existence, which only further proves that I'm old. GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
Um, your birth song is the same as my "life's theme" song. So please don't whine to me about being old. And anyone born before 1950 (I realize those folks are 55+, so probably don't have any brains/hearing/memory left) is going to find that site really depressing.
Date of Birth UK: Where Do You Go To My Lovely - Peter Sarstedt USAizzy - Tommy Roe 18th Birthday UK: Everything I Own - Boy George USA:Jacobs Ladder - Huey and The News. -Richard
