Upon hearing the 11/25/00 show, I may have come across the youngest one hit wonder ever. Not including Christmas hits because I think there was a younger one that did "Nuttin for Christmas". Mikaila was 13 years old when she had her only AT40 hit "So in Love With Two". As Casey related, she is best known for performing a song on Good Morning America in 1995 when she was only 8, after the Oklahoma City bombing. She is from that area.
I am also excluding artists like Jimmy Osmond who had just one hit but was part of the Osmonds too.

Willow Smith has her beat - she was 9 when she hit the top 40 with her only hit, the irritating "Whip My Hair", in 2010.

Should have known a somewhat recent artist would do that. So is Mikaila still the youngest during the time that Casey was doing AT/CT40?

And crossing the ocean to the UK, how does a three year old boy hitting #29 grab you? (With Dusty Springfield as one of the backup singers, no less!) Source: www.everyhit.com/record3.htmlGroovy Baby - MicrobeGoing past one hit wonders, at age 9, Little Jimmy Osmond hit #1 with the incredibly annoying Long Haired Lover From Liverpool... and per the link above, a baby less than a year old appeared on an even more annoying #1. Listen if you dare! |

Although he never made the Top 40, both Rick Dees and Casey Kasem did stories on Jordy, who hit the Hot 100 at #58 with "Dur Dur D'Etre Bebe" in 1993 and was 5 at the time.

Regarding 3T, you would think that...but in fact, their ages ranged from 17 (TJ) to 22 (Taj) when "Anything" hit. But apparently, Perfect Gentlemen would surpass even Mikaila. According to AllMusic, their ages ranged from 11 to 13 when "Ooh La La" hit: www.allmusic.com/artist/perfect-gentlemen-mn0000838826/biography |

Too bad Shadoe Stevens on AT40 didn't mention 5 year old Jordy even though it never made AT40 when it was using the Billboard Top 40/Mainsteam chart format. |

Jawsh 685 might be the youngest one-hit wonder to have a #1 hit. When "Savage Love" hit #1 in 2020, he was 17.
That same year, 24kGoldn hit #1 with "Mood" and he was around 19 and never had another hit.
