'I believe I can fly' would have been close to my top 5.

I quite like 'Swear It Again'. And I really like Fool Again.

'I believe I can fly' would have been close to my top 5. There will be some shocks and disappointments at where certain songs are on my list, what can I say, it's just such a dullfest! But I'm glad someone likes it.

Why is Fool Again even on this list? I know it wasn't #1 on your birthday, it was #1 just after mine, because it replaced Never Be The Same Again at #1 and that was #1 the day I met Carol, which was just before my birthday but covers the same week.
So your #1 in 2000 was Oxide & Neutrino - Bound 4 Da Reload (Casualty) and you're about a month ago from Westlife which fell to #8 on its second week.

Humm, how annoying, I deffo found a list with Fool again #1 on my birthday in 2000, but it's actually Fragma and Toca's miracle, so I will do some rejigging.

I like "Tie A Yellow Ribbon", it reached #3 in my chart, behind "Cum On Feel The Noize" and "20th Century Boy". It's a bit cheesy but otherwise a nice song.
I listened to all your birthday number ones briefly from 2010 onward and apart from Carly Rae Jepson which is ok I don't like any of them, not even Ed Sheeran.

Drake is by far my least favourite on the list.

I don't get how you rate "One Dance" by Drake over "Tie A Yellow Ribbon" which is a proper song, with a proper tune that is memorable and you can sing along to, a meaningful lyric and quite well sung, i.e. Tony Orlando actually sings and doesn't drone on it, which seems to be what most modern singing is.
You can say it sounds dated but yes it's from 1973.

Well I deliberately ordered them so that people would comment and generate debate, or we just have different feelings on different songs? Tie a yellow ribbon is just so wet, and yeah Drake is just so meh as well, I guess I'd stick them all =#50!

Love Dawn's Yellow Ribbon and R Kelly not the worst.

I loved I Believe I Can Fly, and then I got sick of it, but I like it again now.
The Westlife song is just ok background music to my ears, but I'd still put it about ten places higher than some of the others on the list.

I like Hello too, though not as much as some of his others and it was far too long at #1, plus "You Take Me Up" was so much better. So was "I Want To Break Free" of course though that was right at the end of the run.
