What was Number 1 on your 18th birthday? Find out what song will supposedly 'define your 2022'
We can all agree that 2021 has been a mixed year for most, so what does 2022 have in store for you? According to a new online myth, the answer is in the song that was Number 1 on your 18th birthday.
Why your 18th? We're not entirely sure, but, for now at least, we're choosing to believe it. The theory has been doing the rounds on Twitter this month, often revealing some very questionable results.
So, what are you waiting for? To find out who was at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart on your 18th birthday, simply enter the date of your 18th birthday Official Chart archive. Excited or extremely troubled by the result? Tell us in the comments below.
You can also find out on our page that lists every Official Number 1 single ever, going all the way back to when the Official Chart began in 1952.
Just for fun, we punched in the 18th birthdays of some music stars to see which song supposedly shows what's in store for their year ahead.
Dua Lipa: Ellie Goulding - Burn
This can only be a good thing, right? Prepare for Dua to light up the charts in 2022.
Taylor Swift: Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love
We'll be honest, we're not getting the best vibe from this.
Janet Jackson: Duran Duran - The Reflex
A very promising sign, given a new Janet album is expected in 2022.
Dave: Drake - One Dance
More banging bops from Dave in 2022?
Adele: Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
Adele release Oh My God as the next single from 30 challenge.
Kylie Minogue: Spitting Image - The Chicken Song
Ummm?

Just A Official real time Data Tip: when you put or search your date, the match/charts on Database, it uses Week Ending Stats System, the data of units or sales is in fact recorded a week out, so whatever the date you put in or searched you have to skip ahead or fastforward a week later than you date of Birthday, for actual song or charts positions. this information is true and not made up,

See your point but as the UK charts changed every Thursday back in the day, entering your exact birthday date isn't really affected at all by this system. It works & it works flawlessly.

not really, there is such a major problem thanks to Week Ending Deal here, the charts is always a week out or behind so you have to go by the following week, as week ending system apply to Radio 1, OCC and some to major USA Charts so it would 100% be the next week Charts tracking, for example Coming: Week Ending: 6th January 2022 is sales and unit data is in fact from 24th to 30th December 2021, For 31st December broadcast week but will flag as Issue or w/e :6th January 2022 (Or Branded as First Week of 2022, that crazy Sales was in 2021). or like data from 13th to 19th December 2009, Is Issued as 26th December, as the week tracking was from 20th December for branded, so the Issue: 2nd Jan 2010 is in fact christmas charts, as the data was taking place from 20th to 26th December 2009 for 27th December weekly.
