Over in the UK, music listeners can’t get enough of Bryan Adams’ soppy Robin Hood ballad ‘(Everything I Do) I Do It For You)’. Moviegoers were clamouring to see Terminator 2: Judgment Day in theatres. October 1991: Grunge officially invaded the world of popular music. This Week in Number Ones: ‘Good Vibrations’ – Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch (#1 on the Billboard Hot 100, October 5th) ‘As It Was’ might not even be done: it currently sits at number two and could very easily rise back up to number one next week. All told, ‘As It Was’ had the fourth-most weeks at number one ever, behind Lil Nas X’s ‘Old Town Road’, Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey’s ‘One Sweet Day’, and the Luis Fonsi/Daddy Yankee/Justin Bieber collaboration ‘Despacito’. With its 15 weeks at number one, ‘As It Was’ gives Styles the distinction of having the longest-reigning number one song by a solo act in Hot 100 history. If it rises to number one for a sixth time, Styles will hold the record for most ascensions to number one with a single song, a record previously held by… Harry Styles and ‘As It Was’. Some housekeeping stats for Styles: ‘As It Was’ has now dropped from the number one slot for the fifth time, which is a new record. It’s been a long road for the singer/guitarist, one that included a personal plea from Lacy himself on social media and a long time at the number two slot behind Harry Styles’ ‘As It Was’, but now Lacy is the king of pop music for the next week. If all of this is indeed true, then Smith becomes the first non-binary artist to land a number one, and Petras becomes the first trans woman to reach the top of the charts.Ĭurrent US Number One: ‘Bad Habit’ – Steve LacyĪfter knocking around the top ten for the last couple of weeks, it’s official: Steve Lacy has his first number one song with ‘Bad Habit’. This is all personal and potentially flawed research). I also haven’t found any transgender artists who have hit number one in the UK (again, you’ll have to forgive the lack of official info. The main point is that these kinds of statistics aren’t really well-kept, so there’s much room for improvement. Miley Cyrus has two number ones and has previously identified as gender fluid. Janelle Monáe had a number one featured credit on Fun’s ‘We Are Young’ back when they exclusively used she/her pronouns, and so did Demi Lovato on the Clean Bandit song ‘Solo’. In my research, I couldn’t find any singers who had hit number one in the UK after asserting their non-binary identities.
It might not initially seem like it on the surface, but ‘Unholy’ by Sam Smith and Kim Petras is quietly record-breaking. But sometimes, number one debuts are special, like when they carry important social breakthroughs. Just two weeks ago, Lewis Capaldi debuted at number one with his latest smash ‘Forget Me’. Current UK Number One: ‘Unholy’ – Sam Smith and Kim Petrasĭebuting at number one isn’t actually as unique of a feat as it might seem.
