I totally lose the 'what was no 1 on your 18th birthday' competitionn

[PermanentTemporary]

Was watching TOTP and thought I'd check what was toppermost of the poppermost when I turned 18 and omg.

Let it Be by Ferryaid. What a letdown.

link here, others are available

The day I was born - Give A Little Love by The Bay City Rollers.

14th birthday - You'll Never Stop Me From Loving You by Sonia.

18th birthday - Pray by Take That.

My biggest shock is that Take That must have been going for at least 30 years!

I'm ancient: She Loves You by the Beatles so obvs i win

argh - that was the day i was born. On my 18th it was probably The Human League - Don't You Want Me but i need to check (checked, yes it was)

Day I was born. Come on feel the noise. Slade.
18th. The Stonk. Hale and Pace. Never heard of it, that one passed me by.

think its officially 32 years now-on and off

Day I was born - New kids on the block, you got it (the right stuff)

14th birthday - Westlife "Mandy"

18th birthday - Leona Lewis bleeding love

Timber by Kesha and Pitbull

Heaven Is A Place On Earth by Belinda Carlisle.
Not too bad!

Uptown Girl by Billy Joel

DH is a bit older and his is Mony Mony by Tommy James and the Shondells

Quite like both of those

Mine was The Millennium Prayer 😭

I've realised that no only did I doom poor ds to a Christmas week birthday (like mine) - his 18th birthday number 1 must have been some crap by LadBaby.

I think that makes even Ernie - Fastest Milkman look like high art, personally .

Take my breath away - Berlin

I thought it was number one when you were born 🤦‍♀️ Mine is actually Wonderful by Ja Rule

Ain't No Doubt by Jimmy Nail.

That's got to be among the worst, surely?

Ha ha! Me too.

@WingBingo same (mind you as I recall it was number 1 for a really long time so no real surprise)

I can’t stand that version and it never made sense to me in the context of the film. He tells her it’s his favourite song (the Dolly version) and as a result she totally ruins it sings it in a completely different style and that’s supposed to be an expression of her love for him?

Me too! Quite happy with this one!

The power of love by Jennifer Rush. At least I know it lol not a bad song.

I put in my dob not realising it gave me the song that was number one when I was born 😆
When I was 18 it's: where is the love by black eyed peas. I love that song 🥰

perfect!

Mine was ‘everything I do (I do it for you’. Utter shite!!

It would be outing my age to say what it was, but it is a song I would be happy to listen to.

Stay by Shakespeare's Sister - not very celebratory!!

Mine was ‘everything I do (I do it for you’.) Utter shite!!

day of birth was Gary Glitter, gets worse!

And 21st: Let’s get ready to rumble.

FFS 🤦‍♀️

I feel bad for the poster who wouldn’t post what their song is because it’s too outing, what if somebody else posts that song? Now all the people they feared they would be outed to will think that they have a different username and everything will be complete chaos!
