"What was No.1 on the day you were born?" (http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/member/birthdayno1.php)
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. :)

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.

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

Too many weeks before 1977 to count! ;) But my b-day is ten days before yours...Apr 9th. :)

Alliu23 wasn't alive at any point during the Cosmos' existence, which only further proves that I'm old. :(

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.
