Of the 48 singles that debuted at # 1 on the Hot 100, most were, unsurprisingly, by established business. Only seven of them belonged to emerging artists with a lower or comparable planning history at the time of their entry from Rodrigo. Lauryn Hill fired with “Doo Wop (That Thing)” in 1998, recording her first solo entry on the Hot 100, after the Fugees appeared three times in 1994-1997 with her as a member.

The word “license” appeared in the title of the previous Hot 100 song (despite the British English spelling): Billy Ocean’s License to Chill (No. 32, 1989). (A year earlier, Ocean The Hot 100 topped with his own driving stroke: “Get Outta My Dreams, Get My Car.”)
