    You just have to know the date of your graduation (sorry if that's a smart-ass answer)

    Ha. I figured that much, but I mean, is there a site where you can check it?

    Edit: I'm officially retarded. I should look at the first post on the thread.

    Birth: "It's Too Late" / "I Feel the Earth Move" -- Carole King
    Started Kindergarten: "You Should Be Dancing" -- Bee Gees
    Start of high school: "The Power of Love" -- Huey Lews & The News
    High school graduation: "Rock On" -- Michael Damien (Non-rap music from my sophomore year of high school onward sucked out loud).
    Met my future wife: "I'd Do Anything for Love (but I Won't Do That)" -- Meat Loaf
    First "real" job in the biz: "I'll Be Missing You" -- Puff Daddy
    Marriage: "Smooth" -- Santana
    First child born: "Ain't It Funny" -- Jennifer Lopez/Ja Rule
    Second child: "In Da Club" -- 50 Cent

    Jeez, what a downward spiral.

    Guess I was mistaken after looking things up. My #1 at birth was Prince's "Let's Go Crazy." Graduation from HS was "21 Questions" by 50 Cent featuring Nate Dogg. Shitty.

    In its last day at No. 1 after a three-week run, the Fifth Dimension's "Wedding Bell Blues."

    Turns out my wife is the only one in our familial unit to be born under one song staying at No. 1 for only one week (hers is "Suspicious Minds.")

    The list:

    Youngest daughter -- "Dilemma," Nelly featuring Kelly Rowland, in the middle of a seven-week run.
    Youngest son -- "Lose Yourself," Eminem, in the middle of an eight-week run.
    Oldest daughter -- "If You Had My Love," Jennifer Lopez, in the middle of a six-week run.
    Oldest son -- "I'll Be Missing You," Puff Daddy featuring Faith Evans and 112, just starting a run that wouldn't end until he was almost three months old.

    Looking at my family list, my wife also was the only one to have an unassailable classic at No. 1 when she was born.
