"Hey Jude" was, at the time, the longest (over 7 mins) No.1 song ever in the UK. It tied the record for longest time spent at number 1 in the USA until that record was broken by....drum roll please...."You Light Up My Life" by Debby Boone! Can I vomit now? Reply #2. May 28 12, 4:37 AM |

Mine was Penny Lane by The Beatles. Interesting thread, whenever I find out someone's birthday I will tell them what song was #1 the week they were born. I'm a big Billboard chart hound. Sometimes I can do it right away, but usually have to look it up. Reply #14. Aug 29 12, 7:47 AM |

Actually didn't make the 'hound' connection until I saw your post. I just picked that one from the FT site itself, it looks just like my dog Coffee. Quiz Beagle & a few others have the same avatar. Reply #18. Aug 29 12, 10:02 AM |
