Amanda by Boston:cool:

US Chart- Baby Got Back, Sir Mix A-Lot :laugh:
UK Chart- Ain't No Doubt, Jimmy Nail
AUS Chart- Save the Best for Last, Vanessa Williams

I like the US Chart the best :p

(Everything I Do) I Do It For You - Bryan Adams - UK
Emotions - Mariah Carey - US
Love Thy Will Be Done - Martika - AUS

US - "Hard to Say I'm Sorry", Chicago
UK - "Eye of the Tiger", Survivor
AUS - "Abracadabra", Steve Miller Band

I like all three!

UK - "Back Home" - England World Cup Squad
US - "American Woman" - Guess Who
Aust. -"Let It Be" - The Beatles

UK: Rolling Stones - "Honky Tonk Woman" :thumbsup:
US: Zager and Evans - "In the Year 2525" :rolleyes:
Aus: Elvis Presley - "In the Ghetto" :eek:

Great idea for a thread! I just learned something new! Now I have to look up the No. 1 albums...

I'm sorry... but the planets of utter craptitude were in alignment when you were born. :sorry: :p

Truer words have never been spoken. :]

US-Me And Bobby McGee-Janis Joplin
UK- Hot Love- T-Rex
AUS-The Pushbike Song- The Mixtures

Mine.

US: Jump by Van Halen
UK: 99 Luftballoons by Nena
Australia: Love Is A Battlefield by Pat Benetar

Just a quick note, singing to Jump is one of my earliest memories. I'm glad that I can at least listen to all these songs.

She Loves You by the Beatles America

Summer In The City - Lovin’ Spoonful
With A Girl Like You - The Troggs
Too Much / I'll Make You Happy - The Easybeats

UK & US:
Paperback Writer - The Beatles

Aus:
Strangers In The Night - Frank Sinatra (wow not the Beatles but this really made me feel old! :nod:

I think you got the best deal so far :thumbsup:

La Isla Bonnia-Madonna
I Knew You Were Waiting For Me-Aretha! (I love this lady!)
Boom Boom (Lets go back to my room)-Paul Lekakis.. brilliant. :laugh:

US - In The Year 2525 - Zager & Evans

UK - Honky Tonk Women - The Rolling Stones

AUS - My Sentimental Friend - Herman's Hermits

UK - In The Summertime - Mungo Jerry

LOL!:lol:

Dreamlover - Mariah Carey

Oh gosh.

UK: Caravan Of Love - The Housemartins

US: Walk Like an Egyptian - The Bangles

Aus: You're the Voice - John Farnham

I'm pleased to have classic Farnsy in there, but I had to google these Housemartins. Initially I thought there was good reason I'd never heard it before, but the Isley Brothers version is 100% better.

UK: Sugar Baby Love - The Rubettes
US: The Streak - Ray Stevens
AUS: Seasons in the Sun - Terry Jacks

See music wasn't always better in the 70's....either that or it was just a crap day in music? (nah I was born on the same day as Bob Dylan, although 33 years later, so it was a good day in music)

Well, that makes me feel old.

US- J Geils Band / Centerfold
UK - The Jam / A Town Called Malice/Precious
AUS- Lindsey Buckingham / Trouble

I posted this because I did not realize Lindsey had a solo #1 in Australia! I did a double take and checked it twice to be sure.

Yeah us Aussies like all sorts of crap... :lol:

USA - Our day will come - Ruby & The Romantics
UK - Summer Holiday - Cliff Richard & The Shadows
AUS - Hey Paula - Paul & Paula

In the UK - Harry Nilsson - Without You

USA - I’m Too Sexy - Right Said Fred
UK - Stay - Shakespear's Sister
AUS - Let's Talk About Sex - Salt-N-Pepa

:laugh: Oh my!

I feel like it was the "Battle Hymn of the Republic":laugh:

JUMP? CENTERFOLD? LA ISLA BONITA? WALK LIKE AN EGIPTIAN? TROUBLE??
