See what was No.1 on the day you were born Support Apolyton

This is good. http://www.thisdayinmusic.com

It tell's you what was number 1 on the day you were born.

Cool music site, jokes, quotes, charts.

My song is I Don't Like Monday's by The Boomtown Rats.

3rd december 1974:
UK: Gonna Make You A Star by David Essex
US: I Can Help by Billy Swan

I have no idea who they are.

People whoe share my birthday:
1928 Andy Williams
singer, 1957 UK No.1 single 'Butterfly', 1963 UK No.2 single ''Can't Get Used To Losing You'', plus over 15 other top 40 singles. Presented the long running Andy Williams TV show.
1940 John Cale
Velvet Underground, 1968 song 'White Light, White Heat'.
1944 Ralph McTell
singer songwriter & childrens TV presenter, 1975 UK No.2 single 'Streets of London'.
1948 Ozzy Osbourne
Black Sabbath, 1970 UK No.4 single 'Paronoid', solo 1986 UK No.20 single 'Shot In The Dark'.
1951 Mike Stock
part of the Stock, Aitken, Waterman production team, produced over 10 UK No.1 singles.
1967 Adamski

The only one I already knew is Ozzy.
I had heard of Velvet Underground, but don't know their music.
Everyone else is a complete stranger.

the U.K. No.1 on the 10th June 1981 was... Stand And Deliver by
Adam And The Ants
the U.S. No.1 on the 10th June 1981 was... Betty Davis Eyes by
Kim Carnes

Both okay songs for the time period in question.

I can't get the birthday script to work, can someone do it for me?

Dr. A Cula- Andy Williams is an awful, second-rate crooner, John Cale quite possibly the coolest person who ever lived, Ralph McTell a mediocre, dewy-eyed one-hit-wonder, Ozzy is Ozzy, Stock, Aitken and Waterman were evil 1980s pop producers famous for creating pop stars out of hopeless material like Kylie Minogue, Adamski is a UK electronica pioneer who nevertheless is utterly awful.
