    Default #1 Song in History

    http://www.joshhosler.biz/

    Check it out. I did. I looked up the most popular song on the day my wife and I were married (May 7, 1977).

    It came as no surprise to me that it was "Hotel California"!

    Really cool website. On the day Larry and I got married it was Groovy Kind Of Love by Phil Collins, but for the life of me, I don't remember that song. Will have to investigate.

    I'm sure you'll remember it once you conduct your investigation...there was a time when Phil Collins and Genesis were everywhere! I really liked him, and did see him in concert somewhere after the Sussudio (sp?) album.
    The #1 song when I got married in '92 was Jump by Kris Kross, which I absolutely don't remember, and I'm not sure I will investigate. On the day of my birth in *mumble.mumble* it was Quarter to Three by Gary US Bonds, which I actually know more from Bruce Springsteen concerts (of which I have been to more than I can count...given the state of my heritage!)

    That's a remake, TBF. The one I remember was done by Gerry and the Pacemakers I think. Phil Collins slowed the song way down and I never really cared for his version.

    The No 1 song on the day we were married in 1987 was With or Without You by U2.
    The No 1 song on the day I was born in 1956 was Love Me Tender by Elvis.

    Cool!

    The day I was married in 1990 the 1# song was "Nothing Compares 2U" by Sinead O'Connor. Not a song that I care for.

    On my birthday in 1957 (I'm younger than you DF ), the song was "All Shook Up" by Elvis. I'm not an Elvis fan. Very interesting though. Thanks Mike.

    On November 15 1960 when I was born the song was Stay by Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs. People will know Jackson Browne's version. I was happy to know that when I was 8 in 1968 the song was Hey Jude.

    On October 9 1993 when I was married it was Dreamlover by Mariah Carey. No comment.

    Ah yes... my husband was born on October 25 1959. He had Mack The Knife by Bobby Darin, one of my absolute favourite songs.

    Oh I always liked that song GA! I was 10.

    The number 1 song on the day I was born was Elvis of course - I Beg of You. (Never was a fan)

    The number 1 song on the day we were married in 2000 was Independent Women Part 1 by Destiny's Child. (That's what I get for marrying within the past 10 years!) Yech!
