If this reaches #1 will she be the first female to score three #1's to start a career?

If this reaches #1 will she be the first female to score three #1's to start a career? From what I can remember in my lifetime. Carrie started with three straight #1's but one of them ("Don't Forget To Remenber Me") was a R&R only #1. Jamie O'Neal had two but both of her's were Billboard only #1's. I see "Peter Pan" going #1 on both charts and that would definitely be the first time in recent memory a female solo artist starts out with three straight #1's on Billboard and both charts in general.

Faith Hill started her career with two also, but her third single "But I Will" wasn't all that successful.
I think that Kelsea would be the first to get three in a row, assuming "Peter Pan" makes it.

Unless someone else can correct me on this. I am more than confident that Kelsea Ballerini is right now the only artist right now who has had all their singles go #1 to BB and MB (assuming "Peter Pan" makes it which it should). There's like no one else that's coming to mind.
"Peter Pan" has gained 1.6 million in audience the past 5 days and Kelsea Ballerini will end up at #11 on MB and morr than likely BB. Soon after Kelsea Ballerini will easily get into the Top 10 as she will take Keith Urban's spot.
Also fun fact, for a brief little bit "Peter Pan" was #1 on iTunes Country (this was when "H.O.L.Y" was getting changed from single to album), the sales have been great, and I'm ecstatic that this will wind up being Kelsea Ballerini's biggest hit off her debut album.

The only other woman in the history of country music to reach #1 on the BB country charts with her first three singles is Wynonna Judd with "She Is His Only Need," "I Saw the Light," and "No One Else on Earth" in 1992. She did have the pleasure of being one half of The Judds prior to that so it's not quite the same as what Kelsea is looking to do (going from unknown female to having 3 career-starter #1s), but technically speaking, she'd be the second after Wynonna to accomplish the feat.

I have perfect pitch, so I can usually pick out at least what key a song is just by listening to it a few times. I've noticed that D-flat seems to be a key that usually jumps out to me instantly. This song is in D-flat, as are "Baby Girl", "American Honey", "Doughnut"...

Oh right, I totally forgot about Wynonna. Probably because of her history with The Judds, but she totally counts.

Reached it unbulleted too -- by the slimiest of margins, edged out "The World" who lost just a few more points than Carrie's song.

If this reaches #1 will she be the first female to score three #1's to start a career? Donna Fargo's first three charted songs hit the top: The Happiest Girl In The Whole U.S.A. (1972), Funny Face (1972), and Superman (1973).

If "Peter Pan" hits #1, she'll join Wynonna as the only other female to begin a career with a #1 debut single and its two follow-ups.

If you discount Donna Fargo,for,uncharted shouldn't Wy be discounted for being the lead voice for the previous decade's most popular and consistent chart topping duo? She had 15 #1s as a lead vocalist before her solo career. She was a star in the genre before her first solo single.

She had 15 #1s as a lead vocalist before her solo career. She was a star in the genre before her first solo single. Um, it's pretty straightforward why, actually. The Judds =/= Wynonna for chart purposes, so you can't say that Wynonna's first three singles as a solo artist weren't her first three because they were. What she did before that as part of an entirely different act doesn't matter. Furthermore, I see you conveniently missed out on what I said here: The only other woman in the history of country music to reach #1 on the BB country charts with her first three singles is Wynonna Judd with "She Is His Only Need," "I Saw the Light," and "No One Else on Earth" in 1992. She did have the pleasure of being one half of The Judds prior to that so it's not quite the same as what Kelsea is looking to do (going from unknown female to having 3 career-starter #1s), but technically speaking, she'd be the second after Wynonna to accomplish the feat. I addressed the difference between her getting 3 career-beginning #1s versus Kelsea Ballerini's feat. Neither one had any non-charting singles before their first #1 hits like Donna Fargo did though so if Kelsea accomplishes the feat with "Peter Pan," she'll be the second after Wynonna to do it (on BB's country charts anyway). Donna's run of #1s didn't begin with her debut single so it's not the same.

Gotta say, I think if this hits number one, that's extremely impressive. With the climate of radio being what it is, for a new female artist to have a start to her career that strong, is just awesome. Surprises me that neither Carrie or even Taylor Swift achieved this feat. I think it goes to show that Kelsea could be a major star in this genre for many years to come. Especially if the upcoming duet on Jason Aldean's album is released and explodes. We could be witnessing the genesis of one of the big new stars in Country. Of course it is all up to how and if the "Sophomore Slump" appears, but I think Kelsea is plenty marketable and as someone who generally prefers male-centric Country songs, I have like all of her singles thus far.

Carrie technically did start her career with three straight #1 singles but one of them ("Don't Forget To Remember Me") was a R&R only #1 in July of 2006. I agree, I think what Kelsea and Black River have done the past two years has been extremely impressive. It remains to be seen what happens after "Peter Pan" but I trust the information Windmills received that Broken Bow is planning a CMA debut of the duet between Jason and Kelsea. Black River sent out that survey a few weeks back asking input on "XO" and "Yeah Boy" on potentially being the fourth and final single from The First Time. It's not certain they'll go with another single but they may since Kelsea just got into the studio to record her sophomore album last month -- of course the duet with Aldean might suffice at radio, between the end of "Peter Pan's" heavy airplay and the lead from Kelsea's second album.

I'd say let this album era end, let the duet bridge the gap between eras and come back strong next album. I think that it will also help her that the Aldean album is shaping up to be his best in a long, long time (just off the pre-release tracks) and I think that any buzz he gets will help elevate her even more. Especially if the duet has substance and can make an impact. I think that releasing another single may end up being a bit too much and could end up with a loss of momentum...but that's are just my opinion, I have no clue really lol.

I think that releasing another single may end up being a bit too much and could end up with a loss of momentum...but that's are just my opinion, I have no clue really lol. Anything's possible in regards to a song not performing well at radio but I'm sure Black River won't send out one more single unless they're sure it will be received well by programmers. Labels crave feedback from testing and radio people before deciding on singles...and of course, sending out another single means more time, money and resources being used for another few months, into 2017. Kelsea also said a few months back, "Peter Pan" would be the last single but as we know in this business, things change. It depends on what their timeline is -- we don't know that unfortunately. I'm guessing Kelsea will be in the studio on and off the rest of 2016, which means a lead could be ready to launch by the start of 2017. If they're confident in one more single from The First Time doing well though, they'll do it. The duet with Aldean is the wild card for sure.

FWIW, I Saw The Light also wound up #1 for the year @ Billboard in 1992, a feat which no female has managed to duplicate since.
Jesus Take The Wheel and Wasted finished third and fourth for the year in 2006 and 2007 respectively at R&R/Mediabase.
I'm delighted that this scintillating single appears to be enroute to #1, hopefully next month.

I actually believe the Aldean duet seals the deal on Kelsea not getting a 4th single if they send it out after "A Little More Summertime" around CMA Award time. If not then Kelsea wil probably get a 4th single (in which case "Xo" hopefully) and they'd probably debut it ACM time. I do believe that the duet would serve as a nice bridge between Kelsea first and second albums and I'd rather have it be sooner than later.

As much as I love her album, I think it would be smarter to end on a high note of a #1 (assuming this gets there) than to throw out another single because I'm not sure "XO" or "Yeah Boy" will continue her #1/top 5 streak. If indeed the duet with Aldean is his next single (which will almost surely go #1), that will continue to build hype for Kelsea going into her second album.
Although if they do go with a 4th single and its between XO and Yeah Boy, please oh please be the former. I love YB but it sounds so similar to her first two singles. XO is the much better choice.

How many weeks is this looking at no.1? To say she has no one around her would be an understatement.
Three weeks?

I think bigfan101 was asking how long Kelsea might be at number one based on little competition.

Considering how few songs spend more than a single week at #1 anymore, it would be pretty crazy to see Kelsea Ballerini get a multi-week #1 with "Peter Pan." I think the last female song to do that was "Blown Away" back in the fall of 2012, so it'd be pretty neat to see Kelsea pull that off. Anyway, I'd be pretty ecstatic to see that happen! There is a pretty huge gap back to the next viable competition for the top of the charts (Dierks and Blake). Her timing is looking really good indeed.

I guarantee that Dierks or Blake will catch up to Kelsea by the time she peaks. She's going to have to slow it down to so she can wait out the top.

I agree, and Blake or Shelton might catch up to her as well ;) I am really thrilled to see this song doing so well for her. After not liking "Love Me Like You Mean It" and then already being sick of "Dibs" by the time it was in the top 5, I am finally super excited that she is likely going to hit the top!!!
