Top Song

 I noticed a couple Facebook friends had the following 'Facebook Challenge':
  1. Find out the song that was #1 the week you were born.
  2. Find that song on YouTube.
  3. Post that video on your wall without shame.
So I looked into it and found the following 4 songs from the week I was born:

Top Song in the US: Emotions - Best Of My Love

Top Song in the UK: Elvis Presley - Way Down

Top Song in Canada: Rita Coolidge - (Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher

Top Song in Australia: Peter Allen - I Go To Rio
info source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARIA_Charts



I tried searching for other countries - like Belgium, Germany, Europe - but nothing came up with a simple link. I did find this site that has a list by month, rather than week: http://tsort.info/music/
I then looked through the lists for the top position for September (my birth month). Here is the condensed list - I included links to the videos as opposed to the videos themselves.
The list is in the order from the website:
