The Birthdate Challenge

I decided to learn one of the songs that was number 1 on my birthday, which is Joe Dolces Shaddap Your Face, which was number 1 in Australia on the day of my birth

This led me to think we could make a challenge of this

Who fancies recording a cover of a song that was number 1 on your day of birth? We'll make a bit of a radio show of the people who send them in and have a bit of a laugh

Here's a website where you can find out the number 1's of your birthday from UK, US and Australia to help you out

You dont have to stick to those countries though, any country will be fine, just when you send your track through tell me which country it was number 1 in and your birthday

End date to send tracks through will be my birthday, the 5th of Dec

The Aussie one was one I've never heard of. Can't remember the name of the song but I think the guys name is Steve Wright. Hopefully not the DJ.

I must admit, I'd love to hear it hahaha

Dont worry, the one I've picked was the number 1 in Aus, my UK one was by ABBA, which I left well alone

Check out your others, I couldnt leave people just one choice

I've heard stunning versions of Britney Spears, Abba and Softcell - anything is possible
