Songs debuting on top of Billboard Hot 100

I believe it's already been explained before why IM YOUR ANGEL "appeared to have debuted" at No. 1 back in 1998, due to some changes in rules and stuff, that's why Billboard doesn't count it as a No. 1 debut, as shown in this article about britney:

 

http://www.billboard.com/column/chartbeat/...004139669.story

 

However in other sources, they still credit IYA as Celine's second No.1 debut on the Hot 100, after MHWGO in early 1998...

"... Spears is only the third artist in history to have multiple number one debuts, joining Celine Dion (who did it twice with "My Heart Will Go On" and as one half of the R. Kelly collaboration "I'm Your Angel")"

 

Also on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'm_Your_Angel

 

Guess, billboard's count is the official one..

 

Can anybody refresh our memories on why Billboard decided not to count IYA as a "No. 1 debut"?

Because Celine's a canadian? I still can't believe she only have like 3 or 4 number 1s.:( IACBTMN should have been.

 

Somehow, most artists having a lot of number 1s are americans.

I don't think he compares Britney with Céline, but the article mentions Britney in the line of Céline ;)

 

 

I dunno how the charts nowadays (or in the past) work(ed)... today no1's are bullsh!t IMO, cos any song that gets a fair number of downloads, can become no 1 -_-

How Do You Keep The Music Playing? - Celine Opening Night March 15th, March 16th

Billboard recently confirmed that they don't class Celine's Im Your Angel as a #1 debut; and their opinion is the only one that matters. Basically, in the same week as Billboard changed their chart methodology to allow non-singles to chart on the Hot 100, (the "test" chart), Celine charted on that test chart. A week later, when the chart was officially changed, Celine was given an official release and she went to #1, but because she had already charted on the "test" chart the week previous, Billboard don't count I'm Your Angel as a #1 debut.

 

^ That's the simplest explanation of it. Billboard's opinion is the only one that matters

 

Sad times!

Céline Dion, music's greatest ever singer, the biggest-selling Canadian artist of all-time and most successful female live act ever - what's not to love?
