About the chart

Good to
know.

How do I find the #1 song on the day I was born?

Pick your birthday above. You’ll see the song at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart for that week, with a 30-second preview. The chart is weekly, so everyone born in the same chart week shares a #1.

Which chart does this use?

The Billboard Hot 100, the main U.S. singles chart, which began on August 4, 1958. Every week since then has one song at #1.

What if I was born before August 1958?

There was no Hot 100 yet, so there’s no single #1 for your day. Your full Bornplace story still shows the weather where you were born, the moon and planets that night, and what everyday things cost.

Can I see the other #1 hits from my birth year?

Yes. Each year from 1960 to 2020 has its own page listing every song that reached #1 that year, along with prices, events and leaders.
