How It Works

Every week since the charts began, one single has sat at number one. It was playing on the radio when your parents met. It was in the background the day your best mate was born. It was the song of someone's wedding, someone's first flat, someone's Tuesday that changed everything.

Record Days finds that song for any date you pick and turns it into a framed single with your words printed underneath.

Search a date. Any date. We show you the UK number one for that chart week, let you hear a preview, and tell you what else was going on at the time. Then you configure: single or double, frame colour, mount colour, and the message you want printed. Takes a few minutes. You are basically building someone a piece of their own history.

What shows up is a 7-inch single in a handmade frame, the label matching the original from that year. Your message below. A printed QR code links to a dedicated page the recipient can pull up on their phone: the song, the story of that chart week, and your words.
