What Song Was #1 on Your Birthday? Shelby’s Birthday Flashback Songs

Normally on my 6 O'Clock Flashback, I take today's date, pick a year, and give you five songs from the top of the Billboard Alternative Rock Charts from that day, but tonight, I'm going to do things a little bit differently, and you can play along, too.

Today, I'm turning 25 years old, so tonight's five-song countdown features the number one song from August 17 for every five years, leading us to where it began (for me, at least) in 1991.

Want to know what song was a chart-topper on your birthday? Check out birthdayjams.com, and you can take a look at the Top 40, Dance, UK and Alternative charts from any date.

Let's kick it back five years!
