I am sooo not going to play this game!!! 

But I'm happy to go with my Wedding Day:That site wrote:NOTE: The UK charts began in 1952 so if your date of birth is earlier than 14/11/1952 we suggest you choose another significant date such as your 18th birthday or your wedding day.

How would you remember it? You were only hours/days old.Fillyourboots wrote:Hmm, how does this Birthday No.1 thing work? I always thought 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' (Abba) was 'my' No. 1 though according to the link it's 'Free' by Deniece Williams. A song I don't think I ever heard by an artist I've never heard of.
So why the discrepancy? I always thought that the No.1 was determined by what was top the previous Sunday (which is how we decide Christmas No.1's). This site implies results by what singles were buying in a particular week.
ie. top 40 announced Sunday 1st, sprog dropped Monday 2nd. No.1 should be what is actually top based on the previous day's declaration, rather than what will be top on (week ending) Sunday 8th.
