As the title suggests , what song was number 1 when you were born?

I’ll kick off, I’m afraid it’s in black and white 🤫, a cheerful ditty from the Everley Bros.




Over to you, who was at the top of the charts when you said hello to the world?

This is the type of info that people are advised not to post on-line; possibly gives those with ulterior motives info re your date of birth which often forms part of security checks/logging in details online.

Indian Love Call by Slim Whitman.

Absolutely no idea ! I probably heard it from birth because Dad loved the radio.

The original sheet music for Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.

Seriously though apparently it was "It's been a long long time" by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn. Heard of Sammy but not the song.
