Olivia Rodrigo's New Single 'Vampire' Has the Potential to Match Mariah Carey

Olivia Rodrigo's new single "Vampire" could potentially debut at No. 1.

Olivia Rodrigo, the Grammy-winning artist, is gearing up to release her highly anticipated new single, "Vampire," on Friday, June 30, signaling the start of a new chapter in her music career. Although the song has yet to be unveiled, it has already generated an incredible amount of excitement and has the potential to become a massive hit. In fact, its release could even make history for Rodrigo.

With a large and devoted fan base, Rodrigo's "Vampire" is expected to receive substantial promotion upon its release. This heightened attention and anticipation significantly increase the track's chances of debuting at No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart. Rodrigo has already demonstrated her ability to achieve a No. 1 debut with her previous hits, making it well within her reach.

If "Vampire" does indeed open in the top spot, it will mark Rodrigo's third No. 1 debut on the chart. This achievement would place her in esteemed company, as she would tie with Mariah Carey for the third-most instant champions on the tally. Currently, Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande hold the record for the most No. 1 Hot 100 debuts among female artists, with five each.

Rodrigo's music career skyrocketed with the release of her debut single, "Drivers License," which immediately debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and captured the public's adoration. Her subsequent single, "Good 4 U," also opened atop the chart, solidifying her status as a bona fide star and dispelling any doubts of her being a one-hit wonder. Notably, her album Sour became the first in history to produce two No. 1 debuts on the Hot 100. Now, "Vampire" has the potential to continue this streak of success.

In terms of overall records, Drake currently holds the lead with seven songs debuting at No. 1 on the Hot 100. Swift and Grande are tied for second place with five instant conquerors, alongside BTS. Justin Bieber ranks fifth with four No. 1 starts on the Hot 100.

As the release of "Vampire" draws near, fans and music enthusiasts alike eagerly await the next chapter in Olivia Rodrigo's career, ready to see if she can once again make chart history with her infectious sound and undeniable talent.
