I'm not sure if this would go in here or in YOP?, but here we go.
I'm trying to construct a list of artists whose first charting song on the Hot 100 went to #1. Here's what I have so far:
Britney Spears - ...Baby One More Time
Kelly Clarkson - A Moment Like This
Clay Aiken - This Is the Night
Fantasia - I Believe
Taylor Hicks - Do I Make You Proud
Carrie Underwood - Inside Your Heaven
Christina Aguilera - Genie in a Bottle
Gotye - Somebody That I Used to Know
Kimbra - Somebody That I Used to Know
fun. - We Are Young
Janelle Monáe - We Are Young
Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe
Fergie - London Bridge
George Harrison - My Sweet Lord
Katy Perry - I Kissed a Girl
Ke$ha - TiK ToK (or Right Round... either way)
Flo Rida - Low
Chris Brown - Run It!
Calvin Harris - We Found Love
Lauren Bennett - Party Rock Anthem
GoonRock - Party Rock Anthem
Ne-Yo - So Sick
Afrojack - Give Me Everything
Nayer - Give Me Everything
Lady Gaga - Just Dance
Wiz Khalifa - Black and Yellow
Bruno Mars - Nothin' on You
B.o.B - Nothin' on You
Dev - Like a G6
The Cataracs - Like a G6
Far East Movement - Like a G6
Taio Cruz - Break Your Heart
Jay Sean - Down
Owl City - Fireflies
Jason Derülo - Whatcha Say
Alicia Keys - Fallin'
Those are just some (mainly) recent ones I could think of. What are some others?

Are we talking about an artist 1st official song from their debut album, 1st song to chart on the Hot 100, or 1st song they've released?

Oaky doke. I suppose you can add 'Crazy in Love' on there, b/c 'Work it Out' didn't chart on the Hot 100.

Spice Girls - Wannabe
IDK if Stevie Wonder will count. He had a song ('I Call It Pretty Music, But the Old People Call It the Blues') to "chart" on the Hot 100 Bubbling Under Charts (#101) before his 1st single from his debut album, ('Fingertips [Pt. 1&2]),' went #1.

I think Stevie Wonder would count. "Fingertips Part 2" was still his first Hot 100 charting single and it went to #1 in Aug 1963.
And speaking of 1963, here's 3 more in a row:
It's My Party - Lesley Gore - Jun 1, 1963
Sukiyaki - Kyu Sakomoto - Jun 15, 1963
Easier Said Than Done - The Essex - Jul 6, 1963

Elvis Presley - Heartbreak Hotel Pre Hot 100. Personally, I think it should still count, but the thread does say specifically, Hot 100 charting songs. |
