With Beyoncé and Mariah recently making history as the first acts to have #1 single in four decades (90s, 00s, 10s, 20s). 

 

I wondered since her collaborator Megan was three years old when Beyoncé got her 1st #1 in 1999.

 

How many 90s born artists have topped the Hot 100?

 

It turns out that artist from every year of the 1990s has now topped the Hot 100, with
• Sean Kingston became the first 90s born chart topper (1990)

• Meghan Thee Stallion (1995) being the recent chart topper

• Lil Nas (1999) becoming the most recently born 90s chart topper (Billie Eillish was born in 2001) 

• Shawn Mendes became the first 1998 act to be #1 in their lifetime

• Shawn going #1 also made it that every year from the 90s produced an act who was #1 in their lifetime

No, you're thinking of Billie (which makes sense since they had their own historic number 1's right next to each other)
