Hot 100 #1 Debuts Survivor (Winner!)

by **leoapp** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 8:03 am

A single debuting at #1 on Hot 100 is not a common accomplishment. Until now, there are only 20 Hot 100 #1 hits which debuted at #1.
Some notes:
- The first ever single to debut at #1 was You Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson. Before the end of 1998, when Billboard started to allow airplay only to chart on Hot 100, there were 10 #1 debuts, the last #1 debut was Doo Wop (That Thing) by Lauryn Hill.
- Started in 2003, four American Idol coronation singles did it, in 4 consecutive years.
- 3 by Britney Spears became the first ever non-American Idol single to debut at #1 in 11 years.
- Mariah Carey set the record for most singles debuting at #1 with 3 different singles. Only Mariah Carey & Britney Spears, artist with multiple singles debuting at #1.

Anyway, i want your opinion, should i include 4 American Idol coronation singles for this survivor? Because those singles were probably only known in North America, not worldwide

Even though I only like two of the four Idol tracks, I think they should be included. Can't wait for this to start, btw.

by **joel77m77** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 1:07 pm

There's no harm in including them, I think you should, I doubt it will effect the outcome anyways.

by **Baditude** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 1:26 pm

Yeah, I think it would be best if they were included. They did debut at #1 after all.

Can't wait for this!

by **Titan3510** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 1:32 pm

No. Don't include those coronation songs.

by **Goldmoney** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 1:59 pm

Those AI songs will just be voted off in the first two rounds, but I guess it's your decision. :wink:

Mimi for the win!

by **leoapp** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 2:11 pm

I've decided to include those Idol songs so it's fair, I'm sure a few of you know the songs and probably like them more than other non-Idol #1 debuts

by **leoapp** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 2:37 pm

Fact: You Are Not Alone became the first ever song to debut at #1 Hot 100, staying there for 1 week. It actually broke the previous record for highest debut on Hot 100, with his other single, Scream/Childhood, the duet with Janet Jackson which debuted at #5 Hot 100. This single remains his 13th and final #1 Hot 100 during his lifetime
