Brandenburg concertos was created in 1721.
Bach sent the Brandenburg Concertos as a "calling card" introduction to the Margrave of Brandenburg, whom Bach wanted a job with. This was a standard practice of the time - to introduce yourself and hopefully impress a prospective employer, you sent a generous sample of your work. So far as we can tell, Bach never even got an interview. It's doubtful Bach ever expected the Brandendurg Concertos to be performed at Brandenburg, and indeed, they were not performed in the Margrave's lifetime. It is also very likely that they were actually written well before Bach applied for the job, and were simply (among his finished pieces) the ones he chose to send. They were "re-discovered" and performed for the first time in 1849 - 99 years after Bach's death.

The two giants of baroque composition were J.S. Bach and George Friederick Handel. Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer, organist, harpsichordist, violist, and violinist. Bach created masterpieces in every Baroque genre except opera. Bach was, in fact, famous for his Brandenburg Concertos, a series of six instrumental concertos believed to have been performed first in 1721, and possibly written earlier.
He didn't. Original title was "Concerts avec plusieurs instruments" but because of dedication to margrave (some kind of high-ranked feudal border guard) of Brandenburg and it's rediscovery in archives of Brandenburg, concertos known as "Brandenburg Concertos".
There was no such thing as a "number one hit" at the time. He is probably most well-known for the Brandenburg Concertos.
The Brandenburg concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, originally entitled 'Six Concerts à plusieurs instruments,' are a collection of six instrumental works. They are widely regarded as among the finest musical compositions of the Baroque era.
I believe that J.S. Bach wrote 6 Brandenburg Concertos:- * Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 in F major, BWV 1046 * Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F major, BWV 1047 * Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major, BWV 1048 * Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G major, BWV 1049 * Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D major, BWV 1050 * Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in B flat major, BWV 1051
