As chart sensations go, the industry hasn’t quite seen a trajectory like that established by Olivia Rodrigo in a long time.
For, the 17-year-old’s debut single ‘Drivers License’ – which has become omnipresent in a super short space of time – has premiered at #1 on the coveted Billboard Hot 100.
Full story below…
‘Drivers License’ sped to the top by way of colossal first week performance.
Indeed, it amassed 76.1 million US streams, sold 38,000 downloads, and racked up 8.1 million radio airplay audience impressions.
Its success was powered by TikTok challenge, support from Taylor Swift, and Rodrigo’s Disney following (having starred in shows such as ‘Bizaardvark’ and ‘High School Musical: The Series’).
A top priority for label Geffen, Rodrigo’s launch has been nothing short of phenomenal.
Has music found its newest “it” girl?
lmaooooo RIP camila lmaooooo
Bish she’s filipino lol
white ppl music..i just can’t
Cool voice. Love seeing the new kids do their thing. Song is boring tho.
Meanwhile Sabrina carpenter (the blonde Olivia is allegedly dissing in this song) has never had a single song chart on billboard! Congrats Olivia!
Tik Tok made this happen. It’s a social media trend; nothing more
Song isn’t anything special, but good for her. No many can say they have accomplished this
Gurl, shut ur mouth
This song has no challenge or dance attached to it on tiktok
U open ur unwashed mouth to speak without even thinking. Dumb àss
You clearly don’t do research lol
She’s from a show on Disney. That’s how this happened
I pity normani.
Every day, newer , fresher more exciting girls and cropping up.
Just look at this olivia girl for example,.
Shes fresh, shes exciting, her sound is different from what’s trending right now (disco,)
B**** can’t keep Normani’s name out of mouth.
What you should worry about is Camilla. Normani does not have a number one, but so did Whitney when she released her debut single. So did Janet Jackson and all these groundbreaking and iconic artist at the beginning of their career. It isn’t always about Commercial success.
Aaliyah never had a #1 single or album but SZA, Summer walker and all these new rnb acts are inspired by her.
Lastly, nobody is anticipating Camilla’s Cinderella movie nor her 3rd studio album but I can mention 10 publications here in the US and others in the UK who are still anticipating Normani.
“Normani does not have a number one, but so did Whitney ”
Not u comparing normani to whitney.
😂😂😂😂
U guys have been anticipating normani’s album since 2017.
4 whole years has passed and still no album from Camila’s backup dancer
😭😭
Aaliyah had a number 1 song.
Try again hit number 1
💅
lmaoooo flopmila doesnt have a solo #1 tho, she had to c*** hop off of young thug and her gay boyfriend tho lmfaooooooo
A number 1 is a number one
Camila has 2
Olivia has 1
Normani has ZERO
😂
lmaoooo and yet nobody is talking about that has been flop camila, shawn mendes and his gay fans couldnt even save her, Olivia just bodied her flop ass lmfaoooooooooooo
Girl, Olivia and Camila have number 1’s
Normani doesnt even have a top 5 hit
Her highest chart single peaked at number 7
🤭🤭
RCA has shelved her album
Worry about that.
Fresh? Exciting? You’re delusional just like Camel Toe was when she released that Christmas song that fell HARD off the charts in just under 48hrs 💀 I guess this is the next best thing to her. Go awf sis 😹😹 We love to laugh at it.
The only hype this gurl got was from Taylor swift.
Talent will always win.
No amount of celebrity endorsements, viral tweets, dance challenge, sympathy and pity can give u a career.
Normani, what’s good?
lmaoooo why you asking about normani when this girl just ended your fave flopmila in 1 week, whats good flopmila lmfaoooooooo
Ended my faves, like how?
Camila chilling with her 2 number 1’s
U better worry about dua removing normani from her song if it ain’t me
😂😂😂
The gag of year
Nobody wants to carry around death weight
@Lol, why argue with this fool. Clarksoon is a dumb b**** who has been living in this delusion since forever.
Try Again was a number two hit, b****. That song never hit number one. Stay spreading these lies that Dua removed Normani.
Why would Dua suddenly remove Normani from a song she’s been teasing forever. What you are saying is a rumour and will remain a rumor.
O wasn’t even going to reply to your trash mind initially but you stay spreading lies.
Try Again” debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 on the week of March 18, 2000 at number fifty-eight,reaching number one on the week of June 17, 2000
Try Again” was the first song ever to reach number one on the BillboardHot 100 based solely on the strength of its radio airplay.
💅
U should know me by now, I always come with my receipts.
So delusional…if this is what you get off to, so be it 😹😹 Someone get this fat queen some lotion so she can finish 💦 Nobody will ever be checking for Camel Toe, she had her chance and she blew it. I predict her Cinderella movie will go str8 to “On Demand” and Rent Now 💀 Not even worth an HBO Max release, won’t get it.
Congratulations to Olivia. Sabrina Carpenter would only wish to achieve this.
I like Olivia, but this song just ain’t it. All I want is better than this one. I love the bridge on this song and her voice is very good. This song is predicted to block 34 35 from the top spot next week. Ariana should just release POV along with a great music video and just take a rest after that.
This song ain’t nothing special tho
Chile gen z mediocrity 😂😂 congrats I guess.
lol 😂
Soooo beyond basic. It’s actually wild 🥴 I’m offended
Who!!!?????
Bruh I’m so confused RN
Wow. This song is horrible. White ppl am I right? 😂😂
Kids these days, soooo lazy 🥱💤
this song is sooooo overhyped, it didn’t deserve #1 imo. it’s so generic and basic.
This girl is clearly an industry plant from Disney. Literally never heard of her until this song blew up on TikTok. Those executives at Disney haven’t produced a pop star in a while and probably are trying to pushing her as the next Taylor Swift, hence why she’s always kissing Taylor’s b***. Don’t see her having a long career tho, Olivia seem boring and the song is mediocre
She’s an industry plant. Disney is working overtime with those streaming farms because I had no choice to who she was. Looked her and she seems boring and the song is mediocre.
