Fun. Hits #1 on Billboard Hot 100

Posted by: Jason Tate (03/07/12)
Fun. becomes the first rock band in more than a decade to send a debut Billboard Hot 100 hit to number one.
From the ArticleWith its coronation, fun. becomes the first multi-member rock band to conquer the Hot 100 with its first entry on the chart since Nickelback arrived with its four-week No. 1 "How You Remind Me" in December 2001/January 2002. The song went on to become Billboard's top title of 2002. (Electronic/alternative act Owl City ruled the Hot 100 with debut single "Fireflies" in 2009, but the name served as an alias for its only member, Adam Young).

Is there any other profession where it's deemed as acceptable to ask this question?
