Subject: What Was the #1 Song on the Day You Were Born?

Written By: mach!ne_he@d on 10/09/15 at 3:20 pm

I think there was already a thread done about this topic several years ago, but I'm just too lazy to look it up so...

That's a neat little website that lets you look up the Billboard #1 song on the day you were born. Just for the record, the top song in the United States on the day I was born (July 12, 1987) was "Alone" by Heart.

You can also use the site to search for the top song on other significant dates. Here's a few that I looked up earlier:

Assassination of JFK (November 22, 1963) -- "I'm Leaving It Up to You" by Dale & Grace
Resignation of Richard Nixon (August 9, 1974) -- "Feel Like Makin' Love" by Roberta Flack
My Younger Brother's Birthday (May 22, 1991) -- "I Don't Wanna Cry" by Mariah Carey
September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks -- "I'm Real" by Jennifer Lopez
My 18th Birthday (July 12, 2005) -- "We Belong Together" by Mariah Carey
