With 18 year old Billie Eilish set to score her first UK #1 single next week with No Time To Die; the theme to the 25th Bond movie, it seemed right to take a moment to appreciate other young singers who have achieved the dizzy heights of being top of the singles charts at the early stages of their careers.
This list is not a complete list, and there are surely many others who have got to #1 as a teenager, but here are just a few names I picked out, and if you would like to add others to the thread please do. Billie – Because We Want To 15 years old at the time of #1 in 1998 Britney Spears – Baby One More Time 18 years old at the time of #1 in 1999 Christina Aguilera – Genie In A Bottle 18 years old at the time of #1 in 1999 Ella Henderson – Ghost 18 years old at the time of #1 in 2014 Gareth Gates – Unchained Melody 17 years old at the time of #1 in 2002 Holly Valance – Kiss Kiss 18 years old at the time of #1 in 2002 LeAnn Rimes – Can’t Fight The Moonlight 18 years old at the time of #1 in 2000 Lorde – Royals 16 years old at the time of #1 in 2013 Martin Garrix – Animals 17 years old at the time of #1 in 2013 McFly – Five Colours In Her Hair 16-18 years old at the time of #1 in 2004 One Direction – What Makes You Beautiful 17-19 years old at the time of #1 in 2011 Pixie Lott – Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh) 18 years old at the time of #1 in 2009 Rihanna (feat. Jay-Z) – Umbrella 19 years old at the time of #1 in 2007 Shawn Mendes – Stitches 17 years old at the time of #1 in 2016 t.A.T.u – All The Things She Said 18-19 years old at the time of #1 in 2003 Tiffany – I Think We’re Alone Now 16 years old at the time of #1 in 1988 This post has been edited by awardinary: 16th February 2020, 12:20 PM |

crazy that Lorde was only 16 when she released Royals, seems like the work of someone much older
a bit like Billie Eilish now |

Billie, Britney, Christina, Ella, Holly, LeAnn, Rihanna, t.A.T.u & Tiffany.
Britney is yet to be topped for me personally, but that's actually not a bad list at all! Also, 'Girlfriend' > 'Because We Want To' *eyes* |

Good to see this is a close tie at this early stage, but there’s not much love for 17 year old Pop Idol runner-up Gareth Gates then.

So far it’s between Britney, Rihanna & t.A.T.u. Who should take the crown...

This is actually a rather good bunch of songs, In fact, Stitches & Mama Do aside, I'd happily listen to any of these (yes, including Billie and Gareth, shush x)
I think my top 5 would be: 01. Can't Fight the Moonlight 02. Royals 03. All The Things She Said 04. Ghost 05. Animals Nouns ftw |

I didn't realise this was multiple choice and only voted for Lorde oops xo
But if I had realised I'd still have only voted for Lorde tbh. (jk, 'Kiss Kiss' and 'Animals' would be my next 2 choices and would probably leave it there, there are plenty others on there that I like but don't really stan). I did not know that LeAnn Rimes was so young when 'Can't Fight The Moonlight' came out! |
