The charts hadn't been invented when I was born so I would guess that the biggest seller would have been a Gregorian chant

As best as I'm aware, at least to within a week or two, it was the following:-

Cliff Richard - Please don't tease
The Shadows - Apache

Oh dear! That's ancient.

Er no! I overlooked that completely. According to the link, the song at no. 1 when I was born was The Everly Brothers "Cathys Clown".

I felt sure I'd read or heard somewhere that "Please don't tease" and/or "Apache" were the ones. I was also - and a bit daft/inaccurate - using "The Rock 'n' Roll Years" of the year 1960 that I have (on home recorded DVD) as a guide.

Anyway - it doesn't make me any younger!

Re: What song/album was no.1 when you where born?
Love this thread!!!

No 1 Single and Album for me was Bridge Over Troubled Waters by Simon and Garfunkel.

I'll settle for that!

I'm knocked out by learning that I share my birthday with Pearl Jams' guitarist... one of my all time favourite bands!!

The Number 1 single: Lee Marvin - "Wand'rin' Star"

The Number 1 album: Simon & Garfunkel - "Bridge Over Troubled Water"

(how long was that Simon & Garfunkel album number one, because I'm already the third one with that as number 1 album?)

Apparently... it was at No.1 for 33 weeks on and off, between Feb 1970 to Sept 1971, reaching the top spot 8 times!! Initially, it was No.1 for 13 weeks.

I suggest that all those with BOTW as their No.1 album should list the No.2 album as well in order to maintain an element of individuality!!!

Re: What song/album was no.1 when you where born?
No.1 Single- Adam & The Ants "Prince Charming"

No.1 Album- Genesis "Abacab"

I always thought Prince Charming was a mid to late eighties thing, not '81.
