What Was Number 1 The Day You Were Born?

Post by BitterTom »

More importantly which IMCT member has the best song to their birth date? We'll use both US Billboard Top 100 and UK Singles Chart, links below, find your birthday.

US: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of ... ne_singles

UK:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_o ... umber_ones

For me

US: Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You
UK: Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You

Not going to cover myself in glory here. Surprised how long it was number one for considering it's complete dog shit.

US: The 5th Dimension, "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In"

Each song was in the middle of a six-week run at number one.

UK: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - Hugo Montenegro
US: Love Child - Diana Ross and the Supremes

Never heard the latter song but it could be my KISS name.

Hard to believe you weren't even born when the re-released SISOSIG hit number one!

Ironic because it is crap but the sort of crap that Tom has a history of liking.

Hello,

Dream Lover is okay. Battle of New Orleans is more memorable for the Battle of All Saints Road lift.

Now there's a good reason to resent your mother.

I had a friend in college who would always yell out "Kung Fu Fighting" to any band playing at the bar he was in. Didn't matter what kind of music they did, goddammit, they better know KFF.
