There’s a site that allows you to find out what was the # 1 song on the Billboard charts on any given day, so you can find out what the most popular song was when you were born, when you got married, the day Valerie Harper got fired from Valerie, and other essential milestones like that.

So the #1 hit on the day I was born was "If You Leave Me Now" by Chicago, which could have been worse -- if I’d been born on the same day a year later, I’d be "You Light Up My Life" by Debby Boone. What’s your birthday song?
