This is a handy little site (http://www.joshhosler.biz/NumberOneInHistory/SelectMonth.htm) to find out which song was number one on the Billboard charts on any given day.

The number one song on my birthday was 'Magic' by Olivia Newton-John from Xanadu.  I would have preferred a song written by ELO from that soundtrack, but I'll take it.

Myself: Bee Gees "Night Fever"

(Bee Gees basically ruled '78. More entertaining, in my opinion are the ones that follow)

My lady friend: Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes "Up Where We Belong"
My older brother: The Captain and Tennille "Love Will Keep Us Together"
My younger brother: Rupert Holmes "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)"

We're all winners, really. The important thing is that we play the game.

(Edited to add Dave From Knoxville's 13th birthday piece:

Me: Gloria Estefan "Coming Out of the Dark"
Lady friend: Mariah Carey "Fantasy"
Older brother: Debbie Gibson "Foolish Beat"
Younger brother: Whitney Houston "I Will Always Love You"

Lesson learned - The late 80s and early 90s were run by middle of the road female singers.)

So as I stated earlier, the #1 song when I was born was "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" by Rod Stewart.  I just discovered the #1 song when I turned thirteen was "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred.  I'm starting to think I missed one hell of a calling.

I find it repellent.  At twelve, when it was released, I remember shrieking and having to plug my ears when it came on the radio.  There was just something about it that disgusted me.  I haven't heard it in years.  Probably my reaction to it now would be less violent, but I have no doubt it would be negative.

"My Sweet Lord," George Harrison.  My wife is "Sugar, Sugar," and I also love that song.

13: "Maneater," by Hall & Oates for me, "Jack & Diane," by John Cougar for my wife.  I think I win that one, especially because that song for her is like "Sugar, Sugar" for Sarah (she's from rural Indiana).

How about 30, for us old farts?

Me: "Independent Women Part One," Destiny's Child.  I don't even know that song.  For my wife, "Heartbreaker" by Mariah Carey, featuring Jay-Z.  I don't know that song either, but it's got Jay-Z in it, so she wins that one.

No way - I now like to think that "Miss You" was in my mom's head when I was born! Apparently it was a fairly effortless, rapid experience unlike her other 2 birthing throwdowns. The groove pushed me out and I didn't even cry all that much. I knew ... somehow I knew ....

Boy, am I glad I wasn't born a year earlier:  my thirteenth-birthday song would have been the Archies' "Sugar, Sugar," a song that has made my skin crawl since the moment I first heard it.

I unironically love that song.

I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston...

Wasn't this number one for like 2 or 3 decades? Maybe that's what it felt like.

Same as Every Breath You Take, which was number one when I turned 13. Shit, I liked the Police then & that song made me sick.

This is terrible but pre-election last year I was trying to brace myself for a McCain victory by thinking of what was the good side. All I could come up with was 'maybe will.i.am will go away'.

I knew mine without checking the site. But it's because I checked the chart previously before it was popular. Now, if you just know the number 1 songs week by week, that is a different story. Even so, neither way would make it sad.
