What was No.1 on the day you were born?
Bit of fun here, have you ever done this? http://www.thisdayinmusic.com It shows you what song was at No.1 on the day you were born. (Go to 'Birthday No.1' at the top of the site). 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 Some are better than others!
UK/US Hello Goodbye - The Beatles
AUS Sadie (The Cleaning Lady) - Johnny Farnham
UK - Wonderland, The Shadows
US - Soldier Boy, The Shirelles
Showing my age!
UK and Aus - Mull of Kintyre - Wings
US - Baby Come Back - Player

Owning a Blu-Ray player, I haven't seen it since the cinema... Grrr!!!
No but it is played, and 1978. might just have to but the HD DVD in again..
opps speakers not attached no sound.
Spirit in the sky by Norman Greenboum. How disappointing. I was hoping it was the Spice Girls or Westlife
Well, at 34 minutes, was hoping the mystery might last a bit longer than that, but there you go! Yup, '78 - spot on. Aren't I young? (come on, help me out, I just turned 30 a few weeks ago!!)
Don't Give Up On Us - David Soul (never heard it!)
Car Wash - Rose Royce (is it a message about my future vocation???)
It Doesn't Matter Anymore - Buddy Holly
Must be why this is still one of my favourite shiver-inducing discs
Yellow Submarine/Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles (UK)
You Can't Hurry Love - The Supremes (US)
Yellow Submarine/Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles (Australia)
Hi,
Crying in the Chapel - Elvis (UK)
