Billie Piper

[stoo_pid]

Jimmy Osmond had 3 number ones before he was eighteen (if you count the ones recorded as the Osmonds)

[dr pop]

def Billie Piper - Jimmy Osmond was not in the Osmonds and Donny Osmond never debuted at number one

[stoo_pid]

Ah. Good point, well made, dr pop. Britney Spears had 3 number 1s before her 19th Birthday but still haven't found anyone with 3 before their 18th.

Helen Shapiro maybe?? poss?

The youngest person to have a debut record go to No one was Jimmy Osmond with "long haired lover from Liverpool" - When he was 9 years and 8 months. Helen Shapiro was 14 years and 10 months.

Billie Piper was the youngest to have a song go straight in at No 1 when she was nearlt 16 - Gareth Gates had a record go in at Nmber one when he was younger than 18 too.

What about St Winifreds school choir ? there had to be someone younger than Jimmy Osmond in that mob !

I was talking about solo no 1s - when the tellytubbies got to No1 there was a 7 month old baby making gurgling noises on it.
