Earlier in the week, Jay-Z dropped a single called "Glory," all about his newborn baby, Blue Ivy Carter, and featured baby Blue crying at the end. She didn't exactly write the song, but she was apparently credited because Billboard's editorial director is naming her the youngest person ever to debut on the Billboard music charts.
Bill Werde told The New York Daily News, "It's historical. The charts are almost 72 years old, so to be the youngest ever to chart is something." The song debuted at No. 74 on the R & B/hip-hop charts. The previous record-holder is Jordy Lemoine, who debuted at No. 82 on the Hot 100 in 1992 with "Dur dur d'être bébé! (It's Tough to Be a Baby)." We don't know about you guys, but we think this "record" is pretty darn silly. Do you think it's commendable -- or just plain crazy?
