What was number 1 on your Birthday?

[StanFan]

UK- The Crowd "You'll Never Walk Alone"
US- Tears For Fears "Everybody Wants To Rule The World"
AUS- USA For Africa "We Are The World"

We Are The World is the only song I can remember.

 

[HailCorduroy]

A majority of these, I remember when they were on the charts!

UK: School's Out - Alice Cooper
US: Alone Again (Naturally) - Gilbert O'Sullivan (***? Never heard of it)
AUS: Puppy Love - Donny Osmond

Seems the UK was the coolest place when I was born!

 

[kanonfodr]

US: Oh Sheila - Ready For The World
UK: The Power Of Love - Jennifer Rush
AUS: The Power Of Love - Huey Lewis & The News

Nothing I care about....ugh.

U.S. - American Pie - Don McClean

 

[Gubna]

US: When Doves Cry - Prince (which is strange, because there's no bass - although it would explain why I'm such a huge Prince fan!)
UK: Two Tribes - Frankie Goes To Hollywood (they had a hit song other than Relax?!)
AU: It's Just Not Cricket - The Twelfth Man (which isn't even a song, but a comedy routine)

There's a great story about When Doves Cry on the extras on the 20th Anniversary Purple Rain DVD. One of the guys making the film said that Prince had come in with 100 finished songs, but they still needed something for the opening video - and didn't think that any of the 100 would work. So Prince brought him the track When Doves Cry, the next morning. He had stayed up all night to produce it - as it is.
