Here's a bit of fun to kickstart the new year...

Pop along to No 1 Singles from the last 50 years

Then find out what your no 1 was from the day you were born and post it here. Go on, you know you want to! :)

To kick start this off, mine's Mull of Kintyre by Wings

Ahem.

Excuse me, Houston, but we have a bit of a problem here.

It would appear that "Kajagoogoo - Too Shy" was number 1 when I was born. Since I haven't got a clue who the f*ck they are or what the f*ck that song is, I presume that Kajagoogoo didn't write any classics. Evidentely I happened to be born at exactly the wrong time - virtually everything else that year went on to become classic songs which are still regularly played today.

Gavin, this is one of those threads where you and I feel old.

Kajagoogoo's "Too Shy" IS an 80s classic!

Nick, is there not a website with the top selling wax cylinders of the day on it?

I feel the older generation members feelings have not been taken into account when opening this thread.
