Adele's debut at 15 is the highest debut since Taylor set the record with "Shake It Off" in 2014. Earlier in 2014, before Taylor set the record, Maroon 5 debuted at #15 with "Maps".

I believe Ariana Grande is the last artist to have 2 debuts the same week. She was featured on Nathan Syke's "Over and Over Again" and had her own "Dangerous Woman" enter on the April 3, 2016 chart.

I don't have a list of occurrences, so if anyone can remember another instance, please add it to this thread.
