Apparently it was this... I am not sure why this reminds me of the Cantina Band in Star Wars...!

Not a submission (am staff) but this is mine. Never heard of it. Missed out on Never Gonna Give You Up by just two weeks! Agony. 😭

Boyz II Men - End of the Road

I can't say it's really my jam, but it could be worse!

All I knew about this before looking it up was the little snippets from all the 'music lists' over the years. And I don't think I'd listened to all 7 minutes of the song before now. It's very 80s and from what I read it does seem like it did some good raising funds.

Funnily enough I heard an anecdote on a podcast about the making of this just a couple of days ago. Apparently all the megastars were really humble and helpful and willing, apart from Prince.

This is perfectly in line with my understanding of Prince as a person!

Ok so let me caveat this with -whilst the song that was number one when I was born wasn't great there was one epic song released the day I was born.

So, first up is number one on my birthday; Jennifer Rush - Power of Love

But released on the day I was born was this absolute monster of a song:

Not as easy as it might sound, Hungary was still very much behind the Iron Curtain that time so not many western stuff reached us yet and it's very hard to look up even local charts. Apparently this song was very popular in the year when I was born. I actually like the band and been to their concerts a few times.

The No1 song at my birth was:

Apparently it's I'm Real by Jenifer Lopez. I don't know what I was expecting from this time period but I guess it makes sense.

I was born in 02, and apparently mine is U Got It Bad by Usher. I had NO clue that song came out so long ago. It’s honestly a bop and it’s definitely in one of my playlists!

Lean on Me by Club Nouveau

I'm actually surprised. It's not a music style I listen to a lot but at least I know the song!

Not something that can be said about the song that was #1 on my birthday in my country, rather than the US. It was Stay by Bonnie Bianco & Pierre Cosso. It's from an Italian movie called Cinderella '80. I think this was very often the kind of music you'd see at the top of the charts in the 80s.
