Posted January 19, 20169 yr it nearly happened over 5 years ago when Willow Smith (remember her??) nearly made #1 but until this week every #1 act has been by an artist born after myself :o Yes, Shawn Mendes is only 17 years old. so who was the first act younger than you to go to #1?
January 19, 20169 yr Yep, Shawn for me too. I don't want to say it makes me feel old because I know that'll piss of the err vintage members but it definitely makes me feel I'm growing up when people my age or under are starting to get chart hits.
January 19, 20169 yr Oh wait, it looks like it was Lorde. I'll take that one more. Ditto, almost exactly 10 months younger
January 19, 20169 yr Yep, Shawn for me too. I don't want to say it makes me feel old because I know that'll piss of the err vintage members but it definitely makes me feel I'm growing up when people my age or under are starting to get chart hits. Vintage member here. It was Little Jimmy Osmond in my case :cry:
January 19, 20169 yr Lorde for me too - until she came along I don't think any #1s had been by artists even close to my age, but now there have been several younger than me :(
January 19, 20169 yr When was Jackson 5? They were released aagws ago before I was born but are younger so feom tjen on.
January 19, 20169 yr Lorde, Shawn if he gets it. Martin Garrix and Ella Henderson were born in the same year but before me
January 19, 20169 yr Author When was Jackson 5? They were released aagws ago before I was born but are younger so feom tjen on. they had a #1 in 1977 as The Jacksons. MJ was born in 1958 and he was the youngest I think. but the point of the thread is who had a #1 first after you were born
January 19, 20169 yr I had to look this up - I believe it was Rihanna's Umbrella, when she was 19 and I was 21
January 19, 20169 yr I actually think it was Sean Kingston who is around 18 months to 2 years younger than me. I don't even think there were any close calls before then. EDIT: he's older than I thought but still younger than me. I'm September 88, he's February 90. Edited January 19, 20169 yr by T Boy
January 19, 20169 yr Thought it was Lorde, but I looked it up to make sure, and apparently A*M*E from "Need U (100%)" is 8 months younger than me so her I guess. Lorde is the first lead artist to be younger than me though. Edited January 19, 20169 yr by dhwe
January 19, 20169 yr they had a #1 in 1977 as The Jacksons. MJ was born in 1958 and he was the youngest I think. Randy is younger, he was born in 1961. Little Jimmy Osmond for me as well, I think :unsure:
January 19, 20169 yr Will be Shawn Mendes for me also (as I was born 12 days after Lorde). Not a lot of diversity in this thread so far lol ~
