number one on my 18th! Number one on the day I was born was The Most Beautiful Girl In The World which, naturally, sets the tone for my whole life.

I don't recognise any of my birthday no 1s since 2009.

On my 21st it was crazy frog 😖

Hangin' Tough by New Kids on the Block. I know who NKOTB are but the song doesn't ring any bells.

DirtyNumbAngel · 04/03/2023 18:35

My 18th was "Hit me baby (one more time)"

The year I was born it was shaddap (sp?) your face! Keeping Vienna off number one!

Mine is desperately bad
Swing the mood by Jive bunny and the mastermixers

They were good live though.

BlackCatTabbyCat · 04/03/2023 18:55

Number 1 by Tinchy Strider and N Dubz. Everytime I hear this song I get flashbacks from my 18th party.

FannythePinkFlamingo · 04/03/2023 18:58

18th was Vogue by Madonna - happy with that
Actual day of birth - Amazing Grace by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards
