In May 2000, Britney Spears released her own second album Oops!… I Did It Again, and that one moved 1.4 million copies in its first week.īut the biggest record-release day of the new century was March 21, 2000. A year earlier, the Backstreet Boys had released their sophomore album Millennium, which sold more than a million copies in its first week - a number that Backstreet would come close to doubling when they released Black & Blue in November 2000.

The summer of 2000 was the moment when that TRL wave crested, when the bright and shiny teen-pop kids basically dominated all of popular culture. And *NSYNC, the one act probably most responsible for the last gold-rush boom that the music business ever experienced, only topped the Hot 100 a single time. Britney Spears topped the Hot 100 with “ Baby One More Time,” her landmark debut single, but it took her almost a decade to return to the apex. The TRL-driven pop explosion of the Y2K era just didn’t make that deep of an impression on the Billboard Hot 100. Here’s something weird: Right around 2000, when teen-pop was at its peak, teen-pop artists didn’t often reach #1.

In The Number Ones, I’m reviewing every single #1 single in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, starting with the chart’s beginning, in 1958, and working my way up into the present.
