“Pisces and a Gemini, but I think we might go really nice together,” Olivia Rodrigo sings in her newest No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, “Drop Dead.” “If you let me stay the night, well, I think I might just have to stay forever.”

Those lines got Billboard’s Chart Beat wondering: Which astrological sign is most common among artists that soar to the Hot 100’s brightest spot? (That’s a very normal thought process for chart-watchers.)

Rodrigo is, in fact, a Pisces, having been born Feb. 20, 2003. She just made the cut for the sign, with Pisces reflecting births between Feb. 19 and March 20.

As for the lyrics above, do Pisces and Gemini actually not go really nice together and stay forever? Per those in the know, “Gemini and Pisces are squaring signs that often don’t have that much in common. They are both usually positive enough to have a superficial enjoyable relationship and go well together at large social gatherings, but they simply don’t share the same goals. As a strongly mental and emotional sign, their lack of understanding can be hurtful for Pisces and sometimes for both of them.”

Potential spoiler alert for the future of Rodrigo and her crush (avoid if you’re the mushy type): “If they do fall in love and start a romantic relationship, chances are they will not last very long.”

Back to the important angle: If you want to hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 … when should you be born … is apparently the question? (Potential parents of pop stars, take note?)

Let’s look at all the Hot 100 No. 1s billed with solo names since the start of this decade (to lessen the galaxy of research that scrolling through the chart’s entire 67-year history would entail; the numbers reflect charts from the beginning of January 2020 through May 16, 2026). It should make for a solid sample size for seeing which star signs are the most common among chart-topping stars.
