I would hardly call it a life story, but I decided to take a little peak into the archives and see what was at Number 1 in the official charts when I was born. After that, I got more curious and decided to take a trip through birthday past through to present just to see what the nation has been listening to on June 1 down the years. The results are … interesting!
1-6-74: The Rubettes – Sugar Baby Love
1-6-79: Blondie – Sunday Girl
1-6-84: Duran Duran – The Reflex
1-6-89:Hillsborough Tribute – Ferry ‘Cross The Mersey
4-6-94: Wet Wet Wet – Love Is All Around
3 days earlier on 1-6-94, some football team in Manchester reached number 1.
1-6-99: Shanks and Bigfoot – Sweet Like Chocolate

1-6-2004: Frankee – FURB
1-6-2009: Dizzee Rascal ft Armand Van Helden – Bonkers
1-6-2012: Pitbull ft Ne-yo, Afrojack, Nayer – Give Me Everything
What have we proven? Not a lot!! Other than the decade 2001 – 2010 was the worst decade that music has ever known!
Enjoy!
