Albums at #1 On the Billboard Charts on My Birthday, 1961-1985

I started buying albums, really, in 1964 (Bob Dylan’s The Times They Are a-Changin’), and I still buy CDs (which makes me a relic).  I wondered how many of the albums that made the top of the Billboard charts on my birthday I had purchased, so I looked (I found the year-by-year lists on Wikipedia).  The album with the earliest release date I bought was Jazz Samba (1963; Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd), which I bought some time in the late 1960s.  The last album that was at #1 on my birthday?  Born in the USA (1985; Bruce).  Anyway, here’s the list.  The ones I bought (and mostly still have) are in italics.
