On mine (Feb 11, 1972) it was “American Pie” by Don McLean.
On my son’s (Sept 15, 1995) it was (gag, choke) “Gangsta’s Paradise” by Coolio.
September 8, 1973…Let’s get it on by Marvin Gaye in the US
In the UK it was *Young Love[/i[ by Donny Osmond.
3[sup]rd[/sup] Jan. ’ 71 in the UK it was I Hear You Knockin’ by Dave Edmunds(later made into a pea commercial if I’m not mistaken) and in the US it was My Sweet Lord by a certain Beatle.
On 20 May 1975 it was Stand By Your Man by Tammy Wynette. Lucky me.
Oh good lord.
In the UK it was Cliff Richard with “We don’t talk anymore”
BUT!!!
In the US, it was the Knack, with “My Sharona”.
I think that’s a fitting song for you, Twisty! 
“The U.S. No.1 on the 15th July 1964 was… I Get Around by The Beach Boys.” No comment whatsoever on the appropriateness of that one.
Bethie,
Thats just plain mean.
:sulk:
In the US: Every Breath you Take - The Police
In the UK: Baby Jane - Rod Stewart
Yojimbo and TwistofFate, I’m jealous. To have George Harrison or The Knack… <sigh>
Cripes, most of you are youngsters!
When this baby was born in 1964:eek:, ‘Baby Love’ by the Supremes was no.1.
American Woman was #1.
Go figure, I am.
In the US, Respect by Aretha Franklin.
In the UK, Whiter Shade of Pale by Procul Harum.
How cool is that? 
I don’t know what song was #1, but the number one album in the US was Tapestry by Carole King.
In the UK it was Heart of Glass by Blondie (yay! I love this song!)
In the US it was (oh, the shame) Do ya think i’m sexy by Rod Stewart.
Good thing i was born in England. I also happen to know it was snowing and there was a truckers strike on. And it was Yoko Ono’s birthday.

Oh you’re right. We don’t have any new posters since 1999, this is totally redundant. :rolleyes:
Errrr… what did I do now, OpalCat?
Firstly, the thread’s not 2 years old but 6 months.
Secondly, it’s no big deal. I was merely offering people the opportunity to look at some prior results.
Switch to decaf already.
6 July 1976 was… Silly Love Songs by Wings
I just think this is Opals way of getting all our Birthdates for her Evil Teemings Page of Doom[sub]tm[/sub]
hehehehehe
SO was born at Hammersmith, London in Dec '62 and the British #1 that day was Elvis’s “Return to Sender”.
I’ll have to discuss this obvious QA problem with the mother-in-law at the next opportunity
