With one song, Olivia Rodrigo has become a proper pop star and one of the most exciting new voices in the industry.
Most musicians who debut a song at No.1 on the Hot 100 are able to do so because they have spent years building massive fan bases and they’ve scored quite a few hits throughout their careers. This week, a singer breaks that mold, as she starts what could be called her debut single on her own atop the most competitive songs ranking in the U.S., and she does so with some truly eye-popping numbers. Actress and singer Olivia Rodrigo’s new single “Driver’s License” debuts at No.1 on this week’s Hot 100, giving the star not only her first chart-topper, but her first top 10 and her first top 40 win. In fact, the tune is just her second-ever placement on the all-genre list, as she once appeared at No.90 with her track « All I Want.” “Driver’s License” opens at No.1 thanks to a healthy mix of impressive sales and streaming data.
