The song that was number 1 on my birthdate (2nd January 1975) was "Lonely this Christmas" by Mud (crap 70's glam band, cringe)
So what was yours? Clicky to find out, it can't be as terrible as mine!!

I'm pretty sure mine was 'Total Eclipse of the Heart', by Bonnie Tyler.

*checks*

Yup. A song that I don't especially like, but nevermind.

You are joking?!
Rick Astley epitomises the very essence of popular music in the 1980s. A couple of high-charting singles, aided by Stock-Aitkend-Waterman, followed by humilating failure upon wanting to write his own music.

I'm not saying it's good music or anything, but it has an ancestry of trashy-cheesy-pop, a genre which continues to thrive in the UK charts.

Oh, and as someone else has put both their US and UK #1s in, I'll add my US #1 now too:

Billie Jean - Michael Jackson

Ah, now that's more like it.

I'm assuming you don't live in England, where that song was # 1 in the charts for about 15 or 16 weeks. The English now know that song far too well.

Nope, I'm English, but I wasn't really a great fan of any sort of music whilst I was 0. Maybe I'll know on hearing, but the name doesn't jingle anybells.

It was the theme song of the film, "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves," starring Kevin Costner - if that helps?
