Posted by: Hammerhead on 28 September 2000
Just tap in your date of birth at this
siteBenny Hill was No 1 with 'Ernie, the Fastest Milkman in the West' when I appeared.
Cool or what!

The number 1 on the day I was born was Yellow Submarine / Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles.
Does this come with bonus FEPs, or a fab haircut?

I tried to find out what was number 1 when I was born but the site is so snowed under it's gonna be out of action for a day or two. I wonder what album was top of the chart in the same week.

Stefano,
I have never heard the song either, but looking at the title, you just know it's going to be awful.

It was a tie on my birthday:
Yellow Submarine / Eleanor Rigby
Hmmm, maybe I should stop making fun of Paul MCartney.
Vuk.

I guess there's always the new spin on this ... what was no. 1 on conception date might be more appropriate?

The number 1 on the 11th September 1966 was Yellow Submarine / Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles.
Eleanor Rigby is unspeakably cool. Saw a yellow submarine the other day, funnily enough...

Taking Rico's pointer about conception dates, I've now found out that my parents were bumping and grinding (
) to 'Baby Jump' by Mungo Jerry. Who says Music doesn't have an influence on our lives?!

Is this US or UK chart ?
Posted on: 04 October 2000 by Former member
Ian
It's the UK. When taking Stephen's suggestion of conception rather than birthday I got Petula Clark - who I don't believe had a US #1. Saying that - it also says "UK" on it.

Jonathan,
Glad to see you've discarded the anorak (almost).
A friend thought he knew the UK no.1 when he was born, but this didn't come up, which is why I was asking.
Out of interst there must be other sites listing UK no.1s - anyone know ?

I even have a copy of the original 7".
Always liked that riff!

My birthday – June 5th 1966 – gives “Strangers in the Night” by Frank Sinatra.
I’d be a little worried if that had been No. 1 when I was conceived. Anyone here born early March 1967?

When I saw this thread my initial reaction was sounds like fun, let's find out what was No. 1. I was a little fearful that it might be some post "We'll Meet Again" number by Vera Lynn.
It is even worse. The data base only goes back to 1952. Stephen you really hit below the belt! They don't even have a record of what was number one when I was born.
Be careful. There is one person turning 50 every 10 seconds, beware of the Geezer Glut!
