1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and clung there for eight weeks while racking up No. Her first single, the fragile yet anthemic ballad вЂњDriverвЂ™s License,вЂќ debuted at No. IN THE WINTER of 2021 - a year into a pandemic whose origins in China spurred verbal and then physical attacks against people of Asian descent in the United States, and a few months before six ethnically Korean and Chinese women spa workers in Georgia would be shot by a white evangelical man who allegedly told the police that he wanted to eliminate sources of sexual temptation - everyone, or at least much of the measurable globe, was listening to the Filipino American singer Olivia Rodrigo, who turned 18 in February.
