Questions people ask
- How do I find the #1 song on my birthday?
- Enter the day you were born above. We look up the Billboard Hot 100 — the U.S. singles chart — for the week of your birthday and show you the song that was #1 in America that week, plus where to hear it.
- Where does the birthday song data come from?
- From the weekly Billboard Hot 100, which has ranked the top songs in the United States every week since 1958. We cover every chart week from 1959 through 1999.
- What if the #1 on my birthday isn't in your catalog?
- We still show you the real #1 song and link you straight out to hear it on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and more — nothing is hidden behind a sign-up.
- Which chart week does my birthday use?
- The Hot 100 is dated by its Saturday week-ending, so your birthday maps to the chart for the week you were born — the same way you'd read the chart that was on the shelf that week.
- Is it free? Are there ads or tracking?
- It's completely free with no sign-up, no ads, and no cross-site tracking. Enter a date, get your song, share a card — that's it.
