Do you know who was the first female to receive a number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100?
Hint: You may have heard her music blaring through a jukebox if you frequent any retro diners.
If you guessed Connie Francis, you’d be correct!
The 21-year-old Jersey girl was the first female to get a No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1960 with her hit single, “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool”. Connie Francis went on to receive two more #1 hits and is ranked as the #26 artist of all-time from 1955-2010 by Billboard.
