The song reaches the summit in its seventh week, completing the fastest trip to the top since Ed Sheeran&#8217;s &#8220;Shape of You&#8221; (also seven weeks, in 2017).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As &#8220;License&#8221; is Rodrigo&#8217;s first Pop Airplay entry, it&#8217;s the first initial hit by an artist in a lead role to rule the chart so quickly since fun.&#8217;s &#8220;We Are Young,&#8221; featuring Janelle Monae (seven, 2012), and the first maiden entry by a soloist in a lead role in almost 18 years &#8212; since 50 Cent&#8217;s &#8220;In Da Club&#8221; (seven, 2003). No woman with lead billing had sent a first Pop Airplay entry to No. 1 as fast as Rodrigo has in nearly 20 years &#8212; since Blu Cantrell&#8217;s &#8220;Hit &#8216;Em Up Style (Oops!)&#8221; (seven, 2001).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, &#8220;License&#8221; is just the seventh single to have debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and spent at least its first seven weeks on top. It&#8217;s the first to earn the distinction for an artist&#8217;s first No. 1 as the sole billed act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Singles to Spend First Seven Weeks or More on Hot 100 at No. 1<br>16 weeks, &#8220;One Sweet Day,&#8221; Mariah Carey &amp; Boyz II Men, 1995-96<br>14 weeks, &#8220;Candle in the Wind 1997&#8243;\/&#8221;Something About the Way You Look Tonight,&#8221; Elton John, 1997-98<br>11 weeks, &#8220;God&#8217;s Plan,&#8221; Drake, 2018<br>11 weeks, &#8220;I&#8217;ll Be Missing You,&#8221; Puff Daddy &amp; Faith Evans feat. 112, 1997<br>10 weeks, &#8220;Hello,&#8221; Adele, 2015-16<br>8 weeks, &#8220;Fantasy,&#8221; Mariah Carey, 1995<br>7 weeks, &#8220;Drivers License,&#8221; Olivia Rodrigo, 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cardi B&#8217;s &#8220;Up&#8221; jumps 5-2 on the Hot 100, returning to its highpoint where it debuted two weeks ago.
