Mythological as in not part of the known animal kingdom (possibly including
manifestations of Deities in forms not part of the known animal kingdom)...
there, that should cover it. And limit it, too.
Not a unicorn.

Okay... This artist was the first teenager to write, produce and perform a
number one song.

scratch that, I didn't see "produce" and it's probably not right even
without that qualifier.. How about Brian Wilson?

no, no, no, and....... no. One small detail I forgot in the clue, we're
talking number one song on the American charts.. not that it probably matters
much since all the guesses so far were american artists anyway.

ok, here's a couple more clues.. the artist in question is from Long Island
NY, and 1n 1989 was the first teenager to have a single at #1 on the billboard
top 100 and the #1 album simultaniously, since Little Stevie Wonder did it
more than 25 years earlier.

heheheh.. I don't think Tiny Tim was a teenager in 1969 let alone '89.
Ok, since you're all way off in the wrong direction, you'll notice I didn't
mention the gender of the person in question.. female. Singer, writer,
producer, from new york, several #1 hits in the late 80's.

i was going to guess a female before #415, because of the string of them. I
was going to guess Tiffany before I remember her big hit was a cover.
Who is Leann Rimes? (Was she from that early?)

Not Leann Rimes.. she would've been what, 6 or 7 in 89? Tiffany was closer,
and Bruin has it right with Debbie Gibson.

Keeping on the theme of the most recent clue:
Tiffany's first major hit was Tommy James & the Shondells "I Think We're Alone
Now," and at the same time, this singer released a cover of "Mony Mony," also
made famous by TJ&S.

Other has the correct response. Both the Tiffany and Billy Idol covers
were on the charts simultaneously, resulting in a royalty payment twice
as large for Tommy James.
Your turn, other.

note: "Weird Al" Yankovic parodied both songs, more music royalites
to Tommy James or whoever.

I do recall "Weird Al" doing "I Think I'm A Clone Now" (parody of "I
Think We're Alone Now"), but what was the name of his "Mony Mony"
takeoff?

On the same album as "I Think I'm a Clone Now," Yankovic had a forgettable
tune called "Alimony."
