Just wondering that Diana Vickers got to number one with first released single and album, and last year so did Alexandra Burke, Cheryl Cole + Lady Gaga? Is this something to do with the popularity of female performers recently? How many have there been? (I think possibly Kylie Minogue, definitely Leona Lewis) (Not Beyonce or Madonna)

 

So how many have there been?

What about Britney Spears & Christina Aguilera did they manage this?

Beyonce has if you exclude the Austin Powers soundtrack 'Work It Out'. 'Crazy In Love' was her proper debut single.

 

Britney and Christina didn't do the double because '...Baby One More Time' and 'Christina Aguilera' peaked at #4 and #14 respectively.

...Baby One More Time peak is #2, not #4.

Any others?

 

Am not counting Beyonce as it still charted, and was released.

 

Trying to think of other possibles

 

So Far:

 

Alexandra Burke: Overcome - Hallelujah

Diana Vickers: Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree - Once

Kelly Rowland: Simply Deep - Dilemma (Nelly ft. Kelly Rowland) *

Kylie Minogue: Kylie (The Album) - I Should Be So Lucky

Lady Gaga: The Fame - Just Dance (or Poker Face*)

Leona Lewis: Spirit - A Moment Like This

Sandi Thom: Smile It Confuses People - I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair)

 

 

*Just depends on how you define female solo as being either credited as solo artist or a sole credit on the song

Doing some research Lily Allen just missed out her debut album peaked at two.

...Baby One More Time peak is #2, not #4.

 

I don't think it did: http://www.everyhit.com/searchsec.php

 

Erm others?????

 

Solo Spice Girls? Mel C? I know Geri and possibly Emma didn't. Mel B didn't IIRC and nor did Victoria.

 

Kelly Rowland did - if you count 'Dilemma'.

 

EDIT: Nah Mel C didn't.

Duffy also missed out, thought Mercy was first charting single, turns out it was Rockferry (#45)

 

Who knew? :???:

Yes, I will count Dilemma as she was credited as a solo artist, kudos to Kelly! Joining a select list (so far.... I'm delving)

...Baby One More Time peak is #2, not #4.

 

Actually NickF1's correct, BOMT peaked at 2!

Depends if you count Sandi Thom re-releasing I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (and reaching #1 the second time, and something like #60 the first time in late 2005 if I recall.) Technically it's the same song, but two releases so I dunno about that one. :wacko:

 

I think your list is about it to be honest. Solo female artists weren't even hugely popular in the earlier days of the chart, so...

Thought Natasha Bedingfield did for a second then :puke2: , but thankfully her first single was... erm, "Single" (#3).

Sandi Thom will be added, not bothered about chart enrties just the peak of the debut

Lady Gaga: The Fame - Just Dance (or Poker Face*)

 

Just Dance debuted at #3 and Poker Face debuted at 30 something?

 

Duffy also missed out, thought Mercy was first charting single, turns out it was Rockferry (#45)

 

Who knew? :???:

 

It was a limited copy release or something.

Just Dance debuted at #3 and Poker Face debuted at 30 something?

 

That's not what 'début no. 1 singles' means in this situation

I don't think it did: http://www.everyhit.com/searchsec.php

 

http://www.chartstats.com/albuminfo.php?id=6168

 

it's peaked @ #2 after 39 weeks on chart...

 

 

 

 

 

Yes that seems it the definitive list is below;

 

Alexandra Burke: Overcome - Hallelujah

Cheryl Cole: 3 Words - Fight For This Love

Diana Vickers: Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree - Once

Kylie Minogue: Kylie (The Album) - I Should Be So Lucky

Lady Gaga: The Fame - Just Dance (or Poker Face*)

Leona Lewis: Spirit - A Moment Like This

Rita Ora: Ora - R.I.P.

Sam Bailey: The Power Of Love - Skyscraper

Sandi Thom: Smile It Confuses People - I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair)

I was about to comment how bizarre it was to see Dame Kelly Rowland there over than Beyonce, and then I saw SANDI THOM, and suddenly it wasn't Kelly who seemed out of place anymore.

Kate Bush's debut single was number one... but the debut album Kick Inside' stalled at number 3, despite reaching platinum status in the UK. Shame, as this would've made her the first.... :(

Funny that people though Britney would have done that...She doesn't have a no. 1 album yet
