No. Billboard didn't say anything about record by solo #1's. That was Duca
It doesn't matter if they are solo or not Mariah is the lead artist in her 3 #1's.

Britney needs to release another album so we can get another one.

So many mistakes...

[Redacted]

I can't at Duca pulling this ****.

What's next? Britney is the youngest artist with dyed blonde hair and brown eyes...

For that matter, Katy wouldn't have debuted at number one had they not changed the charting policy and allowed Whitney to re-enter the chart. She would have been at 98, and would have broken Kelly Clarkson's record for largest leap to the top.

IKR.

From MJ to KP there's an incredibly huge gap. Most of the #1 debuts in the 90s are iconic smashes.

Whitney, Mariah, & Britney.

@ Taylor Hackford.

Mariah is the Queen.

Further, the first living female artist to do an astonishing debut. LEGEND.

Three of which don't deserve to be there.

Can you guess which ones?
