UKMixer Home Country #1's Round 0 (please read)

by **NothingFails** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 4:38 am

It'll be some time before this survivor goes underway as it is #5 in queue. But figure it would be a good time to start gathering up peoples information so I'll have a number of songs for the survivor when it starts.

Wherever you are from, there was likely a #1 single on the chart the week you came into this world. Wikipedia is a good source to find the dates of a song from your birthdate/year, there are other sites as well. Make this for your home country. I was born on Dec 3, 1979 in the US, so my #1 is "Babe" by Styx, had I been born in the UK it would've been "Walking On The Moon" by The Police (sad since I love it more than Styx) or if I had been born in Australia it would've been "Video Killed The Radio Star" by The Buggles, but since I was born in the US, my song is Styx. Same with you, whatever was #1 in your home country when you were born is the song going into the queue for down the road when the survivor began.

Rules:
PM me anytime before the survivor begins with the song that was #1 in your home country the week you were born, to protect those who don't want their ages given out, I won't list the username by the song

Great idea. I hope mine is great, though. :-?

Will search for it immediately.

Edit: Nah, I can't participate. It is my nemesis which I won't support. :cry:

Bah, I just listened again. Awful.

Can I take the #1 before this abomination? It is much better.

Nice, I'll search and send mine

Any more? I have eight so far

I don't think we had an international chart back in 1992

Mine was terrible... :lol:

I'll send it though.

John, until about 10 years ago, only a handful of countries in the world had official singles charts. Mine certainly did not have one in 1977, unless there was some official ranking of Communist anthems that I am not aware of.

If you want to consider my country of residence instead, then it's Deniece Williams - Free. I would strongly prefer to use the US one, Hotel Cali

11 songs in (two double-A sides have been included, I'm separating the tracks in both instances), one certain track from 1987 is already represented by two UKMix members

Curious to know who was also born in 1987!

Brazilians will rule this game

Kev, no way you like your own more than mine!

Yours is better than mine. I love both, though.

Anyone else?

I hope lots of US UKMixer's born in the 1990's have sent their song!

Sadly none yet. I have more from the 50's, only one from 92 so far

How many have you got? Write a PM to everyone born in the 80 when the Pets where #1.
