Birthday music
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pCqkHbn9ANo
Yep, there is a reason I just posted a Duran Duran music video to c4c, and that's because this song was #1 in the British charts the day I was born. I think you can guess the theme I intend for this thread so I'll just pass it over to you.

Re: Birthday music
Well I think I can guess the theme for this thread. And as there were no charts as long ago as I was born, I'll submit this one, as being somewhere close:

And PLEASE don't think I like it.
Later edit.
Sorry I was a year out with that last one. Here's one for the correct year, and just a little more to my liking:

Looks like it's this. My birthday's in 35 minutes, but having just watched it, I may not stay alive that long...

When I started looking for this I was worried it was going to be Lady in Red, but fortunately I get the moderately cooler Madonna.

Re: Birthday music
OMG, I hadn't realised how young some of you are! Espec now you're posting a-ha and Madonna at no1 when you were born! That's totally my era (and two of my favourite artists).
When I started watching Countdown I was one of it's younger viewers and I guess I still think of it being watched by people older than me, forgetting that I've aged 26 years since then!
Rod Stewart was at no1 with Maggie May when I was born (1971).

Re: Birthday music
No charts in the UK when I was born, so it has to be the US No 1 for Aug 31st 1953, which was: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=L_8l7FfrNoM
It was No 1 for 11 weeks and I totally disassociate myself from it. However, the only saving grace is that Les Paul invented a guitar which was named after him and they are still popular today.
Cheers.

Re: Birthday music
If I am not mistaken (as I had only just been born on my birthday) this song with a ridiculously long title was top: What Becomes of the Brokenhearted / Saturday Night at the Movies / You'll Never Walk Alone.
16/10/2007 - Episode 4460
Dinos Sfyris 76 - 78 Dorian Lidell

Yes there were, Allan, they started in November 1952, which gives you 'Theme From Moulin Rouge' by Mantovani.aagharmer wrote:No charts in the UK when I was born, so it has to be the US No 1 for Aug 31st 1953, which was: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=L_8l7FfrNoM
Mine is immeasurably cooler, however, it being Get It On by the amazing T Rex. A lucky escape, as two weeks earlier the chart-topper was the execrable Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep by Middle Of The Road.

Re: Birthday music
Actually there were charts before that. I remember the charts based on record sales starting, and that was what began in 1952. Prior to that, the charts were based on sales of sheet music.jimbentley wrote:Yes there were, Allan, they started in November 1952 ...aagharmer wrote:No charts in the UK when I was born, so it has to be the US No 1 for Aug 31st 1953, which was: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=L_8l7FfrNoM
I remember thinking at the time that it was a backwards step. I used to buy the sheet music, as I had a piano on which to play the tunes. Records were no good to me, as I never had a device on which to play them until way beyond the mid 50s.
Re: Birthday music
A dire record for sure, but without its existence we would have been deprived of this rather excellent bit of Magic George magic. I think it was worth it...jimbentley wrote:A lucky escape, as two weeks earlier the chart-topper was the execrable Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep by Middle Of The Road.

Re: Birthday music
This was no 1 in the UK when I was born - actually kinda fun.
Since I was looking anyway, I decided to check what was on 1 in the Top 40 in the Netherlands that day. Shame it wasn't a Beatles song, but at least it was a lot better than what was on 1 a few weeks earlier.

That's a lot better than the American # 1. 'I Believe' is an all-time classic and I'm pleased it's my birth date tune.

Re: Birthday music
Thanks for starting this thread Ben. I LOVE knowing what was no 1 when someone was born as it so helps to define time for me.
Though Julie, I'm still unsure what era you were born in as your track was re released in the 80s.
@ aagharmer: I don't know that b side - I'll have to check it out.

I was born on 4th November 1963, Lesley, so the number 1 was 'Gerry The Pacemakers - You'll Never Walk Alone'Lesley Jeavons wrote:Thanks for starting this thread Ben. I LOVE knowing what was no 1 when someone was born as it so helps to define time for me.

You're probably confused by a different version, as there have been a few, e.g. Kai's birthday number 1.
Coincidentally, if my youngest son had been born 2 days later, or a within a couple of weeks from then, Robson and Jerome's version would have been number 1 on his birthday too.
It was originally in Carousel, first performed in 1945, sung, incidentally, to a character called 'Julie':
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You%27ll_N ... one_(song)
Wonder if that had anything to do with the choice of my name. Probably not, and as my mother's dead, and since I haven't spoken to my father in years (hopefully he's rotting in hell somewhere), maybe I'll never know.
edited to apologise for the maudlin nature my post veered into. 2 friends have had parents die recently, which seems to have affected my mood ATM.

If I'm not mistaken The Power of Love was also released by two other artists (possibly in the same year) Huey Lewis and The News (the brilliant opening theme to Bk2Ftr) and some woman possibly named Jennifer something.Rob Francis wrote:Let's move forward to December 5th, 1984... not one of my favourites, but a great song nonetheless

I know I'm a fountain of information...
Emma informs me this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcTr9J30rjw was No 1 on my birthday (16th Jan 1989) which I unashamedly know all the words to. (Incentive to get me drunk at COLIN )
Also worthy of note is this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGoWtY_h4xo which probably has the most people born during its number one duration in 1991 for 16 Bryan Adams-licious weeks

Jennifer Rush.

I've not been able to identify what topped the charts on the day I was born - the nearest found is "Valencia" by Paul Whiteman, which reached no.1 a couple of weeks later.

Re: Birthday music
The record we played over and over again at my 21st birthday party was "Peggy Sue" by Buddy Holly. The gramophone I had only played one disc at a time and I think I only had about 20 of them, one song on each side. They were called 78's and were very brittle black material which shattered easily. At the same party one of my friends sat on my copy of "Heartbreak Hotel" by Elvis Presley and broke it, as well as my heart! My Dad kept requesting "The Shifting Whispering Sands" and boring us to death!

Oh, Jason, I absolutely loved them all and, in a way, it helped my education as I started to learn commercial subjects at school and practiced my shorthand by jotting all the words down as the record was playing. Then I transcribed the words in a book and enhanced each song with drawings of the singer (I'm no artist!) and doodles of the theme. I had a great time, believe me, and just wish I could find that book now!Jason Larsen wrote:You know some of those American singers, don't you, Kathie?

Re: Birthday music
The singers I remember from my childhood (I'm about a year older than George ) are Gracie Fields and George Formby. When war broke out, I was sent away to my grandparents in the Isle of Wight, who had no electricity (or running water), though they did have a wireless set, for which the battery had be charged weekly at the garage. There wasn no gramophone, so was entertained by the offerings of the Home Service & Forces Programme. For some reason, I recall that I liked to dance about to "Franklin D Roosevelt Jones" whenever it came on.

I've always loved rock music and the nearest to the 60's groups and singers now is Bruce Springsteen. At least he is still alive as most of the originals have either been killed in plane/car crashes or have died prematurely of natural causes. Oh yes, and I've actually got a letter which Bill Haley wrote to me in 1956, but of course you won't know who he was will you?Jason Larsen wrote:I guess you do love music, Kathie!

Re: Birthday music
Checking the Irish charts I found that they only started the week after I was born.
Top of the UK charts was Elvis'shttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjiBHT3Z0d8 She's Not You.
However I much prefer this one which was top of the US charts:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myIG.
More of a classic I think.
P.S. I also noticed that the number one selling single of the year was Acker Bilks "Strangers On The Shore", a piece of music I love even though I'm not into jazz of any kind. Coincidence? Maybe not.
Top of the UK charts was Elvis'shttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjiBHT3Z0d8 She's Not You.
However I much prefer this one which was top of the US charts:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myIG.
