What Was the #1 Song When...?
I was just on Mike Kruse's blog, The Kruse Khronicle, and found this cool little link:
THE NO.1 SONG ON THIS DATE IN HISTORY
What this site does is give you the number one song from the Billboard charts for any date you pick.
The number one song the day I was born? "Hey Jude," by the Beatles. Nice.
The number one song on Mimi's birthday? "Hello, I Love You," by the Doors. Enough said.
The number one song when I graduated from college? "With or Without You," by U2. It is only right that this would be so.
And on my wedding day? What else? "Justify My Love," by Madonna. Of course.
Finally, today is my youngest son's 8th birthday. What tune welcomed him into the world and our lives? "Stutter [Double Take Remix]," by Joe featuring Mystikal. Help.
What about you?
Do I have to? Alright...
The day I was born: Love Theme from 'A Star Is Born' (Evergreen)by Barbra Streisand [hmmmm]
Rachel's birthday: Centerfold by J. Geils Band [Wow! I shouldn't elaborate]
The day we were married: "Yeah!" by Usher featuring Ludacris & Lil Jon [Yeah, baby!]
Zoe's birthday: No One by Alicia Keys

Crikey, Eric...I was in 7th grade when "Centerfold" came out. I remember walking into my science class with a buddy and singing it at the top of our lungs. Mrs. Odom was not amused. Thanks for playing!

My date of birth: "Ode to Billie Joe," by Bobbie Gentry
Dana's date of birth: "I'm a Believer," the Monkees
Wedding Day: "Tha Crossroads" by Bone thugs-n-harmony
Tavniah's Birthday: "Maria Maria," by Santana featuring The Product G&B

Tim, I think I like your list better. Maybe I'd have better luck on the country charts....

Not bad, Greg. Don't know about the country, though. ;-)

Birthday: "Another Brick in the Wall" by Pink Floyd
Wedding Day: "Unpretty" by TLC (yikes)
Laura's Birthday: "Babe" by Styx (oh, you can bet I'll get some mileage out of that one)

Can't access the site, yet, but I did post a blog about your son.

I just called to say I love you....in any other context this would be an odd comment

Thank you so much for this link.
The song on the day of my birth was Physical by Olivia Newton John, which kind of stinks. However, the #1 song on my wife's birthday was "When Doves Cry" which might be her least favorite song of all time. I love it!

You made my day with this post!
My birthday: Half-breed by Cher (never heard of it, listened to it on itunes, still not ringing any bells, but funny nonetheless )
Jeff's Birthday: Hey Jude (not surprising given the closeness of your birthdays)
Our wedding day: This Is How We Do It by Montell Jordan- hilarious!
Abby's: Butterfly by Crazy Town
Aisley's: Yeah! by Usher
The top songs in the 2000s don't evoke the same responses for me- meh.

Alright. My birthday song was "When Doves Cry" by Prince... what does this mean?
