We haven't come across a debut yet, but here's premiere #1. This is the third song from The Donnas hot album Spend The Night. "Take It Off" went all the way to #1 and retired, while "Who Invited You" inspired Chevelle's "Send The Pain Below" to fall off after about 24 days and peak at #7. We'll see if "Too Bad About Your Girl" can do any better.
