Accrington Web - View Single Post - What song was #1 on the day you were born

Mine was "Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procul Harum.

Funnily enough, this should have been the answer to a question at a pub quiz at The Park about 6 years ago when we first moved to Great Harwood. Unfortunately, the quizmaster got it wrong and when we argued the point, I told him I've got the "Guinness Book of Hit Singles" at home, one minute away - I can prove it easily enough.
"What version is it?"
"1994"
"Oh, well mine's 1998, so that's why it's different"
I realised that there was no point arguing with someone who thinks that chart positions might change from year to year.
