I had never looked up the actual day before, just the year so this was new to me.
The number one hit on the day I was born: I'm a Believer by the Monkees

OZ did not have charts when I was born.
The songs From the U.S. and G.B. were ones I never heard of.
At least I've heard of Perry Como, the singer of the number 1 in G.B.

"information not available" What, was there a strike? Was it some kind of national day of mourining that i should be born? Was all the tunes so bad they said screw it, nobody deserves a number one song this week?
'ang on a mo', "little sister" by the King was on top of the pops in the uk.

According to that site, music had not yet been invented when I was born.

Which is better than being born in 1953 where they have music, at least in the U.S. and U.K. Seems they still didn't in OZ, which I was hoping at least had a song I'd ehard of. At least the U.S. #1 for my birthday had a singer that seemed vaguely familiar.
walking behind you by Eddie Fisher.
I think the song was written about a day after the
1000 year old man invented music.

So you met the 2000 year old man at a fraternity party on his college campus where the theme was, "Like these dark ages? Drink and pass out"!
