What song was number 1 on the day I was born? |
|
The links above will allow you to discover which songs were number one on any date from 1940-2015. Select the year you want, followed by the month within that year (on the next page) then you will be able to see which songs were number one for each day of that month in the various countries covered.
The data shown represents all the information we currently have available, if you want number ones from before 1940, or for different countries we recommend that you follow the source data links yourself. The issues with defining which charts to use, which entries fall into each chart and how to treat double-A side records made us feel that listing number ones was not a worthwhile effort, however the number of users who request such data has convinced us to offer this set of pages. We quite often get requests to find out which song was number one on a particular day. There are a number of obvious comments:
- Number 1 where? And according to who? We have lists of number one records and their dates from the UK, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, France, Canada, Spain, Japan, Europe and the USA. But they all have limited timeframes and some have other, more complete and "official" charts that overlap. If you want to examine these lists you should track down the original data
- This site focuses on consolidating charts from round the world, not on tracking the accidental coincidence of a particular song's popularity on a particular date. We are interested in which songs were number 1 in most places but we don't set out to discover, or track, the day to day movements of songs. For most of our data its hard enough working out the right year
- As you go back in time the charts are less well defined. The USA has the longest running set of chart data, but even there the Billboard Hot 100 chart started in 1958, before that there were a variety of less formal ones. Those charts in turn started in 1936 but we only have lists of number ones starting from 1940. Before 1936 there were Billboard charts but they were for the sheet music, not for the actual song, and for some eras they only really give an indication of the year, rather than the month.
- If you want to know the US number one song for any date after 1940 have a look at //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_number-o ne_hits_(United_States)
Some Feats
Given the range of countries that we have gathered information for we can answer some questions about number ones. If we restrict ourselves to the English speaking world that we have good charts for (that is the USA, UK, Australia, Canada and Ireland) then only two artists had number ones simultaneously across all those charts before 1990: The Beatles with "I Feel Fine" from Dec 1964 to Jan 1965 and John Lennon in Jan 1981. Three artists managed this feat in the 1990s: Bryan Adams in Aug 1991 - Sep 1991; Whitney Houston in Dec 1992 - Jan 1993; and Celine Dion in Mar 1998.
Looking at the proportion of time that each artist was number one in at least one of our target countries gives yet another measure of the relative success that various acts enjoyed. If we work out what proportion of each decade they spent in the number one song slot we get this listing:
| # | Artist | 1940s | 1950s | 1960s | 1970s | 1980s | 1990s |
| 1 | The Beatles | 35.6% | 1.7% | ||||
| 2 | Bing Crosby | 31.6% | 2.3% | ||||
| 3 | Elvis Presley | 11.2% | 19.7% | 2.6% | |||

| 6 | Perry Como | 7.0% | 10.4% | 0.6% | |||
| 7 | Glenn Miller | 13.2% | |||||
| 8 | Mariah Carey | 12.8% | |||||
| 9 | Bee Gees | 2.5% | 10.8% | 0.9% | |||
| 10 | Phil Collins | 9.6% | 2.8% | ||||

| 13 | Elton John | 5.6% | 1.1% | 6.5% | |||
| 14 | Michael Jackson | 1.9% | 5.9% | 3.8% | |||
| 15 | Bryan Adams | 0.4% | 8.4% | ||||
| 16 | The Ink Spots | 8.3% | |||||
| 17 | U2 | 4.2% | 5.9% | ||||
| 18 | Boyz II Men | 7.7% | |||||
| 19 | Celine Dion | 7.4% | |||||
| 20 | Wings | 7.4% | |||||
| 21 | Cliff Richard | 2.1% | 5.0% | 1.0% | 0.9% | 0.8% | |
| 22 | Dinah Shore | 6.7% | 1.0% | ||||
| 23 | Johnnie Ray | 6.7% | |||||
| 24 | Whitney Houston | 4.5% | 4.4% | ||||
| 25 | Spice Girls | 6.7% | |||||
| 26 | Nat King Cole | 1.5% | 5.8% | 0.2% | |||
| 27 | Cher | 1.7% | 1.1% | 4.9% | |||

| 30 | Take That | 5.8% |
The 1940s and 1950s are biased in two different ways, firstly there are fewer charts (so acts are liable to spend less time at number one) and secondly the charts that existed were less dynamic (so acts spent longer in the top slot). We have assumed these factors just about cancel each other out. Only Cliff Richard and The Rolling Stones have managed to extend beyond 3 decades.
Another interesting metric is to look at how long a particular artist managed to remain at number one in at least one of these countries. This shows artists that were globally popular with multiple songs released in quick succession. Here are all the artists that managed at least 75 days of being number one somewhere:
| # | Artist | Days |
| 1 | Phil Collins | 259 |
| 2 | Bing Crosby | 212 |
| 3 | The Beatles | 196 |
| 4 | Glenn Miller | 184 |
| 5 | Dinah Shore | 154 |
| 6 | Elvis Presley | 140 |
| 7 | Sinead O'Connor | 135 |
| 8 | Boyz II Men | 126 |
| 9 | Elton John | 125 |
| 10 | Bryan Adams | 121 |
| 11 | Survivor | 107 |
| 12 | Stevie Wonder | 99 |
| 13 | Abba | 98 |
| 13 | Los Del Rio | 98 |
| 13 | Meat Loaf | 98 |
| 13 | Whitney Houston | 98 |
| 17 | Spice Girls | 97 |
| 18 | Britney Spears | 92 |
| 19 | Coolio | 91 |
| 19 | Doris Day | 91 |
| 19 | Perry Como | 91 |
| 22 | John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John | 90 |
| 23 | Starsound | 86 |
| 23 | Wings | 86 |
| 25 | P Diddy & Faith Evans | 85 |
| 26 | George Harrison | 84 |
| 26 | Harry James | 84 |
| 26 | Jimmy Dorsey | 84 |
| 26 | Johnnie Ray | 84 |
| 36 | Mariah Carey | 84 |
| 31 | Michael Jackson | 83 |
| 32 | Tony Orlando & Dawn | 81 |
| 33 | Lou Bega | 78 |
| 34 | Bill Haley & His Comets | 77 |
| 34 | The Rolling Stones | 77 |
| 34 | Vaughn Monroe | 77 |
| 37 | Nancy Sinatra | 75 |
The Beatles and Bing Crosby both managed more than 100 day stints twice (The Beatles narrowly missed out on managing three 100 stretches because of a two day gap in Mar 1966.

I don't care what position on the charts, or which chart you use (As long asit's a real chart list, not RYM or DDD) Just has to be started charting on or Near-before that day. +Great site you got here, It's helped me with some Documentaries I have done.+
Have a look at the 1937 year chart. Any of the top 20 there would fit your criteria. The listing of which charts should give you enough info to select. For example, Count Basie's "One O'Clock Jump" would be a valid candidate except you may reject it because it relies on recent assessments (such as the "Grammy Hall of Fame" and "Library of Congress" listings). Of course you may see those as supporting it.

We don't have listings for *all* European countries but we have quite a few and he has NO number one listings for any countries other than Ireland or South Africa. So being number one on 14 European countries is unlikely.

What an odd question. Umm, lets see The Farm's "All Together Now" (the Euro 2004 version) was released on that date, as was "Borrowed Heaven" by The Corrs and many others.
Our guess is that more than 125,000 songs and albums are released in North America and Europe each year so that means about 340 are released on any given day, we won't list them here.
(Oh and by the way the film "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" was released that day too)

We don't list any music for this year, its too likely to need correcting later. You can navigate to Nov 2010 with the dates at the top of the month pages.
We would suggest you look at the sources on Wikipedia that are listed at the foot of each month's page.

Monthly charts
if you would like to read all the charts year by year and month by month of any countries, how should I do?
Thank you.
If you are looking for charts since the year 2000 there are some sites that provide that. If you want side by side charts from before that we suspect you are out of luck. We find it hard enough to create charts that gather the information and consolidate by year.
The sources for various charts are listed on the "Source Charts" page, you could try and create such a resource yourself.

Maybe you should delete the comments section instead of being an arse.
Your considerate and respectful approach do your country proud. I can't see where the reputation of Australians as rude and crass comes from.

what was number 1 song in Canada +June 5 1961
The best chart for Canada is the RPM one, however it won't help you for two reasons, firstly it only started in 1964 and secondly up to now it has only been available as scanned images (see for example http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/rpm/index-e.html)
The CHUM chart has Ricky Nelson - "Travellin' Man" as the number one

Hi guys, could you tell me what was number 1 in Ireland on 12/01/2010 my daughters birthday please?? im confused between what i remember in the our charts & the UK. Thanks xx
We don't keep records of the current year, because it is hard to know if current songs have reached their peak and the number of weeks changes too frequently.
However if you look at the description of where we obtain our Irish data from you will see a link which eventually leads to http://www.irishcharts.ie/search/number_one
That site is usually reliable and claims that the song you are looking for is "The climb" by Joe McElderry.
