Crazy that Shania Twain isn't on that list. I'm sure it has something to do with 90s' rules and single sales or something though.

Until 1999, the Hot 100 formula only included Top 40 airplay... so country radio was excluded as well as any other genre, such as alternative airplay or R&B stations.

A country song needed a massive crossover appeal to reach the top positions of the Hot 100. In fact, several songs that went top 5 ("Achy breaky heart", "You're still the one" or "How do I live") were huge undeniable smashes that Top 40 radio could not ignore.

Yeah that affected "YSTO," though I wonder if it would have gotten to #1 otherwise since it was up against "Too Close" and "The Boy is Mine" which didn't have their R&B airplay counting. I think "YSTO" would have still lost out on #1, even under 1999 chart rules, because the new chart rules benefitted R&B songs as much or more than country songs.

I'm surprised Mariah isn't on the list. I checked and apparently she was 39 when Touch My Body went #1. So close!

There is some question as to whether her birth year is 1969 or 1970. If it's 1969, then she would be on the list due to "Obsessed" and "AIWFCIY."

[Groovy]

Bare with me while I try to word this question. Die For You had to wait 7 years to get to number 1, is this the longest wait for a song that isn't a holiday song?

This is kind of a weird note, but I find it funny how Shakira's two top tens this year both have titles that aren't key lyrics in either song. Apparently she does say "TQG" in a spoken word bit at the very end of the Karol G song, so it is at least said *once* in the track, but I'm surprised neither song has a parenthetical title using more prominent lyrics.

Actually I think it was done on purpose. The chosen titles mask the fact that the songs are actually in Spanish. So potential English-speaking customers that see the songs on the charts are probably more willing to give the songs a spin as opposed to been put off by the title in Spanish.

If someone is put off by a title being in Spanish to begin with then I doubt they'd like the song regardless when they check it out and hear it's entirely in Spanish lol.

Shakira is the sixth female artist to score multiple Top 10s on Billboard HOT 100 in her 40s.

Tina, Aretha, Cher, Madonna, Beyonce & Shakira!

I’m hoping Britney (if she desires to put out music) and pink can somehow find their ways onto this list. Pink is less likely of the two but you never know

Veering off topic a bit, but I have seen a couple sources reference her birth year as 1969, but it seems to be largely unsubstantiated and that overwhelmingly her birth year is listed as 1970. I know Mariah is sensitive about her age and refers to her birthdays as "anniversaries" and such, but has she ever outright mentioned her age? (on her birthdays or any other time?)

Edit: ok so this is weird, I'm googling it now and it seems quite a few sources list her birthday as March 27, 1969 (including Wikipedia, Encyclopedia Britannica, IMDb, etc.). I don't remember nearly as many sources listing this in the early years of the 2000s when I started following her. I wonder what accounts for this discrepancy?

[iHype.]

Mariah was confirmed born in 1969 — there is a local newspaper article listing her as one of the births that week in March 1969, and that is the year that aligns with her graduating high school (she is class of 1987, and it is extremely rare someone starts their senior year at 16 unless they are born in the cusp of the school year starting in August/September or skipped a grade, neither apply to her).

Her vaguely aligning her birth year as 1970 in one or two interviews 25+ years ago is useless especially when she knows that is a provable lie hence she’s stopped publicly acknowledging her age period altogether since.

After looking into it more, it seems 1969 is likely the correct year, however I don't think it's completely 100% settled. It is clear that her high school graduation year is 1987, so I had always just assumed she graduated a year early (this isn't rare at all and I know quite a few people who did this, and it usually isn't due to skipping a grade, but starting the whole process early, like entering kindergarten at age 4), but it doesn't seem to apply in Mariah's case.

Anyway, here's an interesting article that digs deeper into the issue:

If 1969 then Mariah should be in the list right?

Yes, she would have Obsessed and All I Want for Christmas is You.

At least it made the chart that it was supposed to. I'll add to this that Living Colour's Cult of Personality (#13 peak in the Hot 100) include several extracts of political leaders as well as mentioning several others in its lyrics.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Reaches Billboard Charts With Brad Paisley Charity Single

By Gary Trust

3/8/2023

"Same Here" debuts on Digital Song Sales, as Zelenskyy becomes the latest world leader on a Billboard survey.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appears on Billboard’s charts, thanks to his feature on Brad Paisley‘s new single.

“Same Here” enters the all-genre Digital Song Sales chart (dated March 11) at No. 7 with 5,000 downloads sold Feb. 24-March 2, according to Luminate.

The track, Paisley’s co-written first release on Universal Music Group Nashville’s EMI Nashville Records, also begins on Country Digital Song Sales at No. 3.

Featuring a spoken section from Zelenskyy, the song benefits United24, a charitable program to restore Ukrainian homes destroyed during the ongoing Russian invasion (which began Feb. 24, 2022, a year to the day before the song’s release).

“The label [was] so great about it, realizing this isn’t going to be the feel-good hit of the year and this isn’t going to be something that’s going to work long-term at radio, [that it’s] not going to research,” Paisley told Billboard, noting that there will not be a radio edit without Zelenskyy. “I thought, ‘Would President Zelenskyy like to have the last couple of minutes and have a discussion with me on the ways we’re the same?’ This needs to exist in whatever form we can present it.” 

Notably, other political leaders have used their platforms to appear on recordings, also resulting in Billboard chart placements.

In December 2015, U.S. President Barack Obama, then in his second term in office, reached No. 10 on the (now-defunct) Billboard Twitter Emerging Artists chart as featured on JX Cannon’s “Pop Off.” The track was built upon Obama’s G20 Summit speech in Turkey that November in which he mused, “If folks want to pop off and have opinions on what they think they would do, present a specific plan.”

No one-hit wonder, Obama, following the conclusion of his presidency, received artist credit with singers Christopher Jackson and BeBe Winans on the Lin-Manuel Miranda-penned “One Last Time (44 Remix)” from Hamilton. The song hit No. 2 on R&B Digital Song Sales, No. 15 on R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales, No. 22 on Hot R&B Songs and No. 38 on Digital Song Sales in January 2019.

Earlier that decade, former U.S. President Bill Clinton and former President of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev contributed to an eclectic billing with beloved actress Sophia Loren and the Russian National Orchestra on the album Sergei Prokofiev: Peter and the Wolf/Jean-Pascal Beintus: Wolf Tracks. The set hit No. 5 on Classical Catalog Albums in March 2012, with proceeds benefiting multiple charities. At the 2004 Grammy Awards, it won for best spoken word album for children.

Meanwhile, 10 albums credited to late U.S. President John F. Kennedy hit the Billboard 200, including two top 10s in February 1964: That Was the Week That Was (No. 5), a BBC tribute to Kennedy, and The Presidential Years 1960-1963 (No. 8). One title highlighted two former commanders in chief: Actual Speeches of Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy (No. 109, also in February 1964).

Prior to Kennedy’s chart run, an impersonator of his had climbed even higher on the Billboard 200: comedian Vaughn Meader dominated for 12 weeks in 1962-63 with The First Family and hit No. 4 in 1963 with The First Family, volume two. The former also won the 1962 Grammy for album of the year. (The set sports such send-ups as “Press Conference,” in which, after a family dinner, “Kennedy” takes questions on such vital topics as why he didn’t touch the salad that wife Jackie had prepared: “I would prefer if, er-uh, in the future, we stuck to coleslaw …”)

Similarly, Welcome to the LBJ Ranch!, an album ribbing U.S. Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Dwight Eisenhower, as well as former Vice President Richard Nixon, among others, via out-of-context recordings of them (helmed by Earle Doud and Alen Robin), hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in 1965.

Plus, impressionists David Frye and Rich Little made, well, impressions on the Billboard 200: The former charted four albums about then-President Nixon in 1969-73, led by the No. 18-peaking I Am the President in 1969, and the latter hit No. 29 in 1982 with The First Family Rides Again, gently lampooning U.S. President Ronald Reagan and first lady Nancy Reagan (with contributions from Doud and Meader).

Others known for prominent world leadership positions that have hit Billboard charts include Pope John XXIII (a Billboard 200 entry in 1963), Pope John Paul II (multiple chart appearances in 1995-99) and singer – and first lady of France in 2008-12 – Carla Bruni (visits to various charts in 2005-17).

It is 100% settled when there is literally a newspaper from her local hometown announcing her birth in 1969 with both her parents names listed. Unless you are suggesting they went back in a time machine and announced her birth before she was born.

The article you are linking is prior to the newspaper being found.

Ok whatever, I'm already conceding it's most likely 1969, why are you so defensive lol. I just think because Mariah herself still hasn't given a clear indication, and because the year 1970 was previously widely referenced, it's nowhere near a clear-cut, completely unquestionable case. I guess at the end of the day it doesn't really matter that much, and she's still a great talent whether she was born in 1969 or 1970.

[Juanca]

Someone who surely also qualifies is Linda Ronstadt.
She had Somewhere Out There (with James Ingram) reaching the top 10 in 1987 when she was 40, and then Don’t Know Much in 1989 (with Aaron Neville). Another interesting connection with this week’s top 10 is that Linda and Aaron also managed to have a #11-peaking duet with All My Life. Their third collaboration, When Something Is Wrong with My Baby, only peaked at #78 though. Still another interesting example of a multi-hit duet.

[Juanca]

Another one I’ve just remembered (although with an asterisk) is Enya. Only time reached and peaked at #10 when she was 40. Later she’d reach #2 as a featured artist (alongside P Diddy) in Mario Winan’s I Don’t Wanna Know. The asterisk is due to Enya being credited for the sampling of her vocals from the 1986 song Boadicea.

It sounds to me like that original "women in 40s getting hits" post was not very thoroughly researched lol. Juanca doing the work and finding more!
