I think he meant that possibly being the only other artist to have their first single go #1 after the second single hits #1, you know one of those statistics pointed out out by billboard and such
Not your blah blah song becomes the second song to go #1 while I was sitting in a urinal, first time since blah blah song sold less than 0.7k and managed to get me to puke kinda stats.
I'm sleep though and I have a few warning points to spare.

Well this may need an asterisk, since both songs came from the same video single. But Billboard had been counting two sides of a single as separate songs for five years by late 2003. The Outkast's "The Way You Move" debuted first (A side, but as I said, Billboard charted them separately). Then "Hey Ya" (B side) entered the Hot 100 a few weeks later. However "Hey Ya" jumped "The Way You Move" and spent 9 weeks at #1. Then "The Way You Move," which was released first, replaced "Hey Ya" at #1. The Way You Move received the points from the certified Platinum video single, while "Hey Yeah" sold more digital downloads (I think that was one of the first songs to reach 500,000 downloads). That happened 12 years ago, so the Weekend would not be the first to accomplish this feat.
