2014: The Year in... Billboard Chart Headlines
Iggy Azalea crowns the Billboard Hot 100 with her debut hit "Fancy," featuring Charli XCX (June 7). As Azalea also rises 3-2 as the featured artist on Ariana Grande's "Problem," Azalea joins the Beatles as the only acts to rank at Nos. 1 and 2 simultaneously with their first two Hot 100 hits. The week of Feb. 22, 1964, the Fab Four's debut pop culture-changing smash "I Want to Hold Your Hand" jumped 3-1 and "She Loves You" lifted 3-2. The songs had debuted the weeks of Jan. 18 and 25, 1964, respectively, and soared to the chart's top two spots after the band made its landmark appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show on Feb. 9, 1964.
Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga arrive at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with their collaborative set Cheek to Cheek, the second No. 1 for the iconic Bennett and the third for Gaga (Oct. 11). The 88-year-old Bennett is the oldest living act to earn a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, beating a record he set himself back in 2011. That year, a then-85-year-old Bennett scored his first No. 1 album with Duets II … which featured a track with Gaga, "The Lady Is a Tramp."
