Flashback Charts

[Fresh Tendrils]

Found this link on a journal on last.fm and thought it was pretty cool. Its a website which has compiled the top charts from Billboard magazine and you pick a date (such as your birthday) and see which songs were number one from 1940 to 2004. Its really cool.

Here's the original link - Number One In History

And My Birthday - December 29th

Of the songs which were number ones, the songs I actually listened to and enjoyed:

• Hey Ya - Outkast
• I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston
• Black or White - Michael Jackson
• Like A Virgin - Madonna
• Say, Say, Say - Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson
• Escape (The Pina Colada Song) - Rupert Holmes
• Saturday Night - Bay City Rollers
• Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head - BJ Thomas
• I Heard It Through The Grapevine - Marvin Gaye
• I Feel Fine - The Beatles
• The Lion Sleeps Tonight - The Tokens
• The Chipmunk Song - David Seville and the Chipmunks
• Mr. Sandman - The Chordettes

Pretty cool.
