I think we may have done this before, but...

On 20th Feb 1985:

Elaine Paige & Barbara Dickson - "I Know Him So Well"

The Smiths - "Meat Is Murder"



Never heard of that song before. And I didn't realise that I shared a birth date with Nancy Wilson and Brian from the Backstreet Boys.

So this is obviously from the UK charts, because I guarantee that album was never #1 here.

For me:

On 15th Dec 1969 ...

The Number 1 single was:
The Archies - "Sugar Sugar"

The Number 1 album was:
Rolling Stones - "Let It Bleed"

EDIT: I should have looked at the site title. It is UK.

Some cool people have the same birthday as me too:

1915 - Edith Piaf ( Almost universally regarded as France's greatest popular singer )
1922 - Alan Freed ( American DJ who first used the term Rock 'n' Roll; deceased )
1942 - Dave Clark ( of The Dave Clark Five )
1955 - Paul Simonon ( bassist, The Clash )
1961 - Nick Beggs ( bassist, Kajagoogoo )
1979 - Edele & Keavy Lynch ( vocalists, B*Witched )

I'm starting to doubt the veracity of that website. There's no fucking way Slim Whitman had the number one album, unless this is some kind of alternate universe website where yodelers are superstars and The Beatles never broke up, but actually morphed into a jazz-ska combo.
