In all, there have been 23 hits in chart history that have started atop the Hot 100. 1, just as the tykes head back to school-it may appear that Justin has made his grown-’n’-sexy shift flawlessly, and right on schedule.
From the evidence of this week’s Hot 100-Bieber sitting pretty at No. (Contrary to popular belief, if tweens and teens are really into a pop star, they will pay hard cash for his album.) Now legal drinking age, Bieber is attempting the classic boy-to-man career transition achieved by numerous pop idols over the decades. 1 albums before his 19th birthday, a record. 1 song-remarkable when you consider that for the last half-decade Bieber has been the nation’s biggest teen idol, racking up five No. (Bieber’s label even timed the release of “What” to each outlet, including radio, based on when each would report to Billboard.) “What Do You Mean” is his first-ever U.S. The drop at iTunes, the YouTube release of the video, Bieber’s airborne, tearful performance on the MTV Video Music Awards: All were timed to maximize his numbers in the first seven days. 1 debuters this week, thanks to just such an industrial-strength campaign. The last song listed above, Justin Bieber’s “What Do You Mean?”-an electro-pop ode to hopefully innocent romantic miscommunication- joins the list of No. So many elements, from sales to airplay to streaming, make up Billboard’s flagship pop chart that getting a plurality of them to line up, right when a single is launching, demands name-brand artist recognition and military-industrial precision. But starting a song at the top of the Hot 100 is the triple-lutz of chart feats. Since the charts were computerized a quarter-century ago, it’s become routine to see an act’s rabid fans swarm in and send an album to the top slot in its first week. 1 isn’t special-the top album most weeks is a debut. On Billboard’s album chart, debuting at No. Among these megastars’ hits, these are the ones that received the most carefully coordinated record-label boost from the get-go-opening the way Hollywood opens a major motion picture, right at the top of the box office. By and large, these songs did not wind up being the respective acts’ best hit, or even their biggest (e.g., neither Britney hit is one of her classics, the Eminem song is a half-decent rewrite of “Lose Yourself,” and the Gaga and Katy songs were massive but relatively short-lived).
1 on the Hot 100 since the turn of the decade. No, this is a list of all the songs that debuted at No. Electronic elements? Yes, but that could be said of most 2010s chart-toppers. Dance beats? Sure, except for Eminem’s hit.
