This is an interesting way of phishing for people's personal data.
But I can't not bite, especially when my 7th birthday was Never Gonna Give You Up...

My 7th birthday #1 is "Do They Know It's Christmas" by Band Aid II, probably the least remembered version of that song.
2020 felt like Christmas all year long, with everything closed and us all trapped at home. 2021 is so far looking much the same :-(

7th: Pet Shop Boys "West End Girls" (although I really wanted it to be A-Ha "The Sun Always Shines On TV" which was at No.2).
12th: Enigma "Sadeness-Part 1" (although Seal "Crazy" which was at No.2 would have been better as I can then sing my quarantine anthem in English, plus I was doing French in my 1st year at high school at the time)!!!
14th: Whitney Houston "I Will Always Love You" (Perfect in every way for me defining my life).
Ronald van Veen
7th: Bay City Rollers - Give A Little Love
12th: Olivia Newton John & ELO - Xanadu
