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, it’s free, you don’t have to log in).

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 Jacskon in Australia

Some are better than others!

Well seeing as I'm from the UK I'm more bothered about that one and I must say it is good to know I was born on the day The One And Only Came out. It was also, ironically, the guys one and only hit.
