Musical Fun For Memorial Day Weekend & #1 Song When TJ Was Born. Find Your #1.
Friday, May 25th, 2007Fay, one of our devoted Canadian TJ fans, sent us a link to this really great website.
Here you can look up the #1 song in the US on any day in history, from the 1890’s through today.
To save you the trouble of looking it up, on the day Tom was born, June 7, 1940, the #1 song in the United States was Tuxedo Junction by Glenn Miller.
On January 8, 1935, the day Elvis was born, it was Isle of Capri by Ray Noble.
On the day……….OK! We could do this all day. But we won’t. Have fun!
And, if you’re interested in charts from all over the world, these go back to 1957 (but they’re not as comprehensive as the US charts above).
Thanks, Fay! Luv ya!

SusannePDX: Our songs are so wonderful, so special, that we don’t want to brag, so we’ll just keep them in our hearts:) But, watch in a couple of weeks for something about your song.

Ellen and Ursula, this website is just “too much” fun. It is appropriate then that my birthday song turns out to be Elvis’ Too Much. Thanks, Fay!
