The weird thing is I remember a lot of these songs many of you have posted.

As for me, it was: The Joker (The Steve Miller Band) I really like your peaches... [/shakes your tree]

Edit: Alfaholic has a birthday very close to mine. So does Pako.
Edit II: Merry Xmas Everybody by Slade (U.K.)...three weeks after Christmas ended.
Edit III: Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress) by Helen Reddy (Aus.)... Never heard of it.

But was he number 1 in the charts when you were born?

 

[Omnis]

I wonder what the number 1 single was in China. I was born right when Tank Man made his stand.

 

[Muzaffar]

The day i was born is on.....well go check my profile to know!!!!

US: Rush Rush - Paula Abdul

Meh, what do i care about this.....

 

[superberkut]

But was he number 1 in the charts when you were born?

Probably not, but everybody paid tributes to him by listening to his music. No doubt another artist/band was on top, though.
