It is the first song ever to make the Hot 100 from an artist whose work never previously appeared on the chart, the outlet noted.

Does this statement make sense.

No, it doesn't make sense. Every artist who for the first time gets a song onto the Hot 100 chart would have "never previously appeared on the chart".

But Billboard stated that when his song first appeared on the Hot 100 chart, and did so at the position of #1, that "he’s the first artist ever to launch atop the list with no prior chart history in any form."
