But for looking at decades ex. 60's, 70's 80's ect. you go by the years themselves and not the century counter. Good example is would you count 1980 as part of the 70's? No you would not. The 70's went out with 1979 and the 80's began with 1980. A bit silly to not consider 1980 as part of the 80's actually.

1980 finished off the decade that started in 1971, as in first year of the 1970s, since a decade/century/millenium can't start on a zero because zero is just that - nothing. There was no 'the year Zero'.
Anyway, that's that. So Gazza was right - five different decades.

The 1970's started with the year 1970. The zero is zero but it has a 7 before it, meaning 70 (1970's) likewise the 2000's started with 2000 and the 2010's with 2010. It doesn't matter in Holland and Germany etc. they've hit the nr 1 spot every decade, if they didn't in some other countries that doesn't change the fact that worldwide the Stones have topped the charts since 1964.

Hmm... I'm still a bit confused of the calendar logic... If I recall right The Nazarethian guy was born in X-mas, right? That's 25th of December. Doxa
No, it's the other way around. She was born in the 20th century and the 200th decade. The nineties don't overlap with the "proper" decade which started in 1991 and ended after 2000.Quote

My daughter was born on the year 2000.
Does that means she is from the 21st century but
from the decade on the 90's (that belong to the 20th century)?
