Kay Starr was a great singer, Avril and Rock and Roll Waltz was a great song. If you speak nicely to our ROB, she might even be able to find it for you to listen to. She's a magician, that girl.

My birthday number 1 was Telstar by The Tornadoes

My 18th birthday number 1 was "Don't stand so close to me" by The Police. Not that I remember much about my 18th apart from drinking "Blue Moons" - which was the in drink at the time!! bleuch!!:blush:

[Gertcha]

Number 1 on my date of birth was
A star is born

nah not really it was
'me ears are alight ta '
by
Desmond Dekker And The Aces.(Israelites)
My husbands one was 'return to sender'
bet his mum thought if only!!

[Gertcha]

Ps I feel blinking old seeing all these mid eighties songs i used to dance to at the friday evening youth club grrrrrrrrrr

[helxx]

Great site Stu!

I'm well chuffed with mine!

Make Me Smile (Come up and see me) - Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel
:hello:

[Kate]

Mine was the power of love

[peachy]

I told you I was very old and now this thread has proved it. I had to go for the song which was No1 on my 18th and was therefore apparently 'my life theme' (god help me)!

It was the old weepie 'Tell Laura I Love Her' by Ricky Valance, which is actually very appropriate because my darling grandaughter is called Laura.

[kaphc]

Number one on the day I was born was:

I Love You Love Me Love by Gary Glitter

Oh dear!!

But it gets better.... On my 18th birthday it was:

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me by
George Michael And Elton John

A top song!!

[Stu xxx]

I can now say that the song on my 18th was R.Kelly ignition x Not really sure i like it though - wish it was Girls Aloud :bawling:

[kaphc]

Wahey!!! That must mean you were 18 this week - congratulations!! I've not heard the R Kelly song though so I don't know if it's any good, but I like the Girls Aloud song in an irritating sort of way.

[Romantic Old Bird]

Personally, everytime this thread re-emerges it reminds me of my advanced stage of crumbliness. :bawling:

I have tried in vain to find out what was either the best selling '78' or Sheet music at that time. I do remember we had 78's of Mario Lanza and Nelson Eddy and Jeanette macDonald, as well as Fred Astaire singing 'Top Hat' which I played on my Nanny's Wind-up phonograph. You had to change the needles really often AND we had endless fun slowing them down and speeding them up.

The other alternative was of course sheet music. My sister and I snook into the church to play 'Theme for a Dream' (Cliff) on the organ.

Aaargh, I have become the sort of person Historians interview for archive material.....:shocked:

[Joanna4Will]

oh dear, mine was...'Never Gonna Give You Up' by Rick Astley

[AndyJK]

Oh lordy it was I Love You Love Me Love by Gary Glitter :shocked: Kaph I've just noticed you were born 4 days after me. :thumbs:

[dustmite]

Mine was: Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

I never did learn that piece of advice :bawling:

[Romantic Old Bird]

Good grief, that was only last week wasn't it?

The good news for us really crumblies is that I have found a link which tells you what the number one was even in the Dark Ages.

Mine was

'Silver Dollar, Roll, Roll, Roll' by Eve Young and the Homesteaders.

The bad news is that I can't find a sample of it anywhere.

However, Eve was also responsible for those classic hits 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer' and 'If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a cake!'

Rock On Eve!

If you are of pre-1952 vintage check your birthday number one (music sheet sales:blush:) here:

[BusyBee]

[Boris]

Busy Bee we are exactly the same age !


I knew the song even without LEE'S help but had never heard of the Artist.

BTW, it was a very appropriate song for me as I haven't stopped singing since.
:dazzler::dazzler::dazzler::dazzler::dazzler:

[Legally blonde]

Mine was David Bowie's Ashes to ashes. Not too keen on him, but on my 18th birthday the number 1 was Boyzone's No matter what. Now that's a lot better, I adore that song!

[Romantic Old Bird]

Hello Legally Blonde, love the name!!

You are soooo young though :bawling: poor old me!

[Legally blonde]

Thanks ROB. I thought the name suits me :laugh:

[hapatus]

The UK number 1 on my birthday was 'Don't Leave Me This Way' by The Communards. To be honest, I don't think I've ever heard that song...

But my US number I did recognise: 'Stuck On You' by Huey Lewis and the News. It's a nice band.

Hanna, who really should be studying at the moment...

[Sunny_01]

Mine is

I hear you knockin by Dave Edmunds ( anyone heard of him???)

:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

[Hooly One]

Human league - don't you want me

[Sunny_01]

[Kanye_West]

In Uk the number 1 was Reet Petite by Jackie Wilson and in the U.S.A number 1 was Walk Like an Egyptian by The Bangles...

int that sooo cool :)

[jbellemeg]

Now I really feel old.
No charts when I was born.
All I can say is that I grew up to "ROCK AND ROLL"
:dance::bouncy::bouncy::bouncy::spin2::spin2:

[Julia L]

Mine were:

UK - Xanadu, by Olivia Newton-John and the Electric Light Orchestra.

US - It's Still Rock 'N' Roll To Me, by Billy Joel

I like Xanadu, but I've forgotten what the Billy Joel one sounds like...it's probably quite good tho' :hugesmile:

[dimstepho]

When I was born, the #1 song in England was.... Drum roll please....

Diana Ross - Chain Reaction

[rachb]

oh dear I remember watching Diana Ross singing Chain Reaction on TOTP:blush::blush:
I feel old:blush::blush::blush:

[She Devil]

I feel old because I can remember everyone of the songs named above. I was born in the 60s so probably something from either 'The beatles', 'Elvis Presley' or 'The Rolling Stones'

[dan4eva]

the U.K. No.1 on the 4th August 1990 was... Turtle Power by
Partners In Kryme

[5000]

the U.K. No.1 on the 10th September 1987 was...
Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley

[BigSister]

I can say the number one on my 18th birthday will be Eric Prydz: Call on me
