Mine was "Summer Place" by Percy Faith (I love that movie!) Post yours. :) Of course, if you were born before 1955 than you were born before they started charting!! But, you can do your 18th b-day or wedding date & see what comes up. :)

Cool site.

The #1 song on the day I was born was Windy, by Association. Is that the one that goes, "Everyone knows it's Windy"?

The UK #1 single was All You Need is Love.

My HS graduation day came up with Simple Minds, Don't You (Forget About Me).

We are out of luck Carol. We are off the charts. Heck, Perry would be off the chart.

Great link - thanks for posting! I was expecting some obscure song I'd never heard of on the day of my long-distant birth but in fact it was Bill Haley and the Comets, Rock Around The Clock, one of the most famous oldies of all time, probably still one of the most-played songs of the 50s even now. Silly but it's made my day!

Yeah, I thought about that after I turned off the computer! lol. But, at least they had a #1 Album. Which is kinda odd - you can have a #1 album & not have a #1 song? weird.
