ashley monroe I'm not sure where your info on Ashley Monroe came from, but she never had a #1 hit. The highest she ever reached was #37, and that was on Billboard's Country chart. The answer to the above question is Lisa Loeb. Her single, "Stay" was included on 1994's "Reality Bites" soundtrack. The song hit #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart on August 6, 1994 and was there for 2 weeks. Her debut album, "Tails" also contained "Stay", but wasn't released until 1995. Not only is Lisa Loeb the only person to hit #1 w/o having released an album yet, she's the first & only unsigned artist to hit #1. Geffen Records hadn't signed her yet when the "Reality Bites" soundtrack was released.
