    I prefer this site:

    You can check both the UK and US charts.

    Thats cool. One good, Every Rose has its Thorn - Poison, and ... sigh, Mistletoe and Wine by the one, the only, Cliff Richard.

    You want a horrible thought, see what was number one nine months before your birthday. Odds are...
