Youngest female artist to chart on the Hot 100

Rumi Carter (b. 13 June 2017), the youngest daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z (all USA), was 6 years 305 days old on 13 April 2024, when she debuted at No.42 on the Billboard Hot 100 – alongside her mother, and with equal billing – on “Protector”, a track from Beyoncé’s No.1 album Cowboy Carter.

The female record had previously been in the possession of Rumi’s older sister, Blue Ivy (b. 7 January 2012), who teamed up with Beyoncé aged 7 years 208 days on “BROWN SKIN GIRL”, which started at No.76 on 3 August 2019.

Both of the charting Carter girls were older than French toddler Jordy (b. Jordy Lemoine, 14 January 1988), who was just 5 years 156 days old when “Dur dur d’être bébé! (It's Tough to Be a Baby)” debuted at No.82 on the Hot 100 on 19 June 1993, on its way to a peak position of No.58.

“Protector” was one of 22 new entries from Cowboy Carter for Beyoncé on the Hot 100 on 13 April 2024 (of her 23 simultaneous hits in total, including the former No.1 “Texas Hold ‘Em” at No.2), a tally that propelled her to 106 total chart entries as a solo recording artist – one more than husband Jay-Z’s 105.
