Youngest Acts on CHR

[pnobelysk]

As a sequel to this thread:
pulsemusic.proboards.com/thread/131961/oldest-acts-on-chr

I think it would be great to get a list together of every music artist that has broken the CHR TOP 40 before turning 18. The one difference I'd like to include in this list is: including EVERY hit the artist had before turning 18, so I imagine Miley and Justin Bieber having several. Please leave the artist name, song, and how old they were when they cracked the top 40 and I'll get a list going :)

I'll go back even further (pre-R&R, therefore Billboard).

Michael Jackson - 11 years old when The Jackson 5's first single, "I Want You Back", hit the chart in 1969.
Donny Osmond - 12 years old when The Osmonds first charted in 1970 with "One Bad Apple".
Stevie Wonder - 13 years old when "Fingertips - Part 1" became his first hit in 1963.

And, a bit newer...

Debbie Gibson and Tiffany were, both, 16 when they each scored their first top 40 single in 1987, "Only In My Dreams" and "I Think We're Alone Now", respectively.

Just checked. Yes he was 17. He turned 18 during the song's run.

[Exclusive]

Noah Cryrus was 17 when “Make Me (Cry)” was released.

[pnobelysk]

Updated!

Does anyone know how old Becky G, Cody Simpson, and Austin Mahone were for their top 40 entries?

[bat1990]

Look at my girl JoJo beating out teen pop idols like Miley and Bieber!

Vanessa Hudgens
Come Back to Me #18 - 17 (she turned 18 right as it peaked)

She'd just turned 17 when 'Breaking Free' reached the US Top 5 in Feb 2006 (and when 'Start of Something New' hit the top 40).

Demi Lovato was 15 when 'This Is Me' peaked in the US Top 10.

In the pre-BB Hot 100 years, Ricky Nelson hit the US Top 10 at 16 with 'A Teenager's Romance'. His 'Poor Little Fool' was the song that topped the very first Hot 100 chart in August 1958.

mamooshka your Vanessa/Demi examples apply to the Hot 100 but not pop radio; this thread is particularly about pop radio. I can't speak to your other example.

Becky G was 17 when Shower and Can't Stop Dancing were charting, she also was 15 when Oath was charting, which she was credited on.

Cody Simpson was 14 when On My Mind charted, and 16 when Pretty Brown Eyes charted. 

Austin Mahone was 16 when Say Somethin' charted, 17 when What About Love charted and 17 when Mmm Yeah charted, though he turned 18 before it peaked.

[Au$tin]

Damn, I forgot about "Whip My Hair." Girl was barely a decade old and was making a bop to end all bops.

Your hair, your haaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiirrrrrr

[Luckie Starchild]

13: Marie Osmond - Paper Roses
16: Dara Sedaka - Never Should've Let You Go
17: Robyn - Do You Know (What It Takes)

[pnobelysk]

list has been updated again!

[sam8432]

LeeAnn Rimes was FOURTEEN when How Do I Live was released? Wow, that is super impressive. I thought she had to have been an adult at least.

[pnobelysk]

Made a change for the sake of space. If an artist charted multiple times while at the same age, those songs are now listed together.

Does anyone know of the ages of Monica, Brandy, Mario, & Mandy Moore for their other chart entries before 18 (debut singles have already been included)

Monica had "Before You Walk Out of My Life" at 15, "For You I Will" at 16 and both "The Boy Is Mine" and "The First Night" at 17

Regarding Brandy, "I Wanna Be Down" never actually appeared on the Billboard Pop Songs, but she had "Baby" at 16 and "Sitting Up in My Room" at 17

Mario had "C'mon" at 16

Mandy Moore had "I Wanna Be With You" and "Walk Me Home" at 16 and both "In My Pocket" and "Crush" at 17

Also, and I can't believe no one mentioned her, Avril Lavigne had "Complicated" and "Sk8er Boi" chart when she was 17.

[pnobelysk]

updated! also added martin Garrix who was 17 for animals. Billie eilish should be joining this list soon
