    You can still reveal that crap. It's not like -- at least I hope -- I will be judged harshly because some heady, Moroder-produced Blondie was tops when I came into the world.

    I would have revealed it if I remembered. I got a birthday card with various facts pertaining to my birthday, and thought "oh damn, that was #1 in the U.S.?" Freda Payne was better so I remembered that one. Let me see if I can find anything:

    (searching)

    Well, as I'm looking, the #1 album in the UK was:


    That, I approve of.

    Okay, here we go:
    Jackson 5-I'll Be There

    Well, not as bad as I thought, but not as good as "Band Of Gold".

    I found it here:
