Number 1 single when you were born?

[Deleted member 1258]

No British chart when I was born, only sheet music.
I believe the best selling Sheet Music when I was born was Teresa Brewer Longing For You.

The Americans had a music chart though, and this was No 1 when I was born.

You're the one that I want. John Travolta and Elton John.

DOH! I was distracted by someone flicking peanuts at me.

Tom Jones - Green Grass of Home - Not one of my favourites but I guess it could have been worse!

Not being impressed by the number 1 when I was born, I did a bit of searching and via the magic of the internet have discovered that there was some more interesting stuff in the charts on the day.

At No.5: David Bowie - Life On Mars
At No.13: The Goons - The Ying Tong Song
At No.20: Hotshots - Snoopy vs The Red Baron
At No.26: Fleetwood Mac - Albatross
At No.29: Wings - Live And Let Die

All gleaned from this site.

From Wikipedia "On the week ending 14 November 1952, NME published the first ever UK Singles Chart."

I predate the charts

Me too, but No 1 in US appears to be “To each His own” by Eddy Howard. I shall have to find where I can listen to that now.

A few days later they were knocked off No1 by these guys



Did folk really dress like that

Just checked for when I got married,
Barry White Youre The First The Last My Everything
Unlike most people we knew round that time we are still together.
