Posted December 5, 201014 yr If Willow Smith gets to #1 with 'Whip My Hair' next week, she'll be the first ever person born in the noughties to get a UK number 1. Born in October 2000, which terrifyingly is after I started secondary school :blink: It was only three years ago that Sean Kingston became the first born in the 1990s to reach #1 (born February 1990), and since then we've had Pixie Lott as well (1991). Anyone know for the other decades? I can only think of Britney Spears as one of the first born in the 1980s (1981), but surely there was someone before that?
December 5, 201014 yr Billie Piper was born in September 1982 and got her first number 1 in June 1998 (15). Not the earliest, but the youngest #1 so far (until aybe next week, beaten by Willow). Edited December 5, 201014 yr by FM11
December 5, 201014 yr Depends if you count band members, because if so Hanson (x3) beat Billie and Britney to the punch for the 80s. 1970s was surely Tiffany? 1960s was definitely Jimmy Osmond as he's the youngest ever :D Edited December 5, 201014 yr by superbossanova
December 5, 201014 yr Some (possibly all) members of St Winifred's School Choir were born in the 1970s, and they had a #1 in 1980.
December 5, 201014 yr Al Martino, first from the 1920s :D I'd hazard guesses at: Ruby Murray for the 1930s Frankie Lymon for the 1940s (possibly Paul Anka) Frankie Laine for the 1910s Edited December 5, 201014 yr by John_Squire
December 6, 201014 yr I'm think it's Sean Kingston for the 90s if not then it's Pixie Lott. Edited December 6, 201014 yr by laddergoat

December 6, 201014 yr No-one from the 1890s got to number 1 then :( Does anyone have the same for albums?
