The last black woman to claim the spot was in 2012, when Rihanna\u2019s song \u201cDiamonds\u201d debuted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think it\u2019s really cool, and I think it\u2019s about time that we have more representation in the music industry,\u201d sophomore Abby Yoo said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lizzo actually first released \u201cTruth Hurts\u201d in 2017, and it made a reappearance in the 2019 Netflix rom-com \u201cSomeone Great\u201d, where the song regained popularity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The singer first started out as a classical performer, and has been playing the flute since age 10.

She then created her nickname \u201cLizzo\u201d, which was a combination of her real name, Melissa, and \u201cIzzo\u201d, which was a popular Jay-Z song at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8261,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-3feature","category-1-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Lizzo makes history - UPDATE ONLINE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/index.php\/2019\/11\/lizzo-makes-history\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Lizzo makes history - UPDATE ONLINE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/index.php\/2019\/11\/lizzo-makes-history\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"UPDATE ONLINE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DHSUpdate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-11-07T15:59:17+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-11-07T16:08:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mehvish Khan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@DowHighUpdate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@DowHighUpdate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mehvish Khan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/lizzo-makes-history\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/lizzo-makes-history\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Mehvish Khan\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/404bfe404322b6dd3a3798557c9aa31e\"},\"headline\":\"Lizzo makes history\",\"datePublished\":\"2019-11-07T15:59:17+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-11-07T16:08:08+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/lizzo-makes-history\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":161,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#organization\"},\"articleSection\":[\"FEATURE\",\"NEWS\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"CommentAction\",\"name\":\"Comment\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/lizzo-makes-history\\\/#respond\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/lizzo-makes-history\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/lizzo-makes-history\\\/\",\"name\":\"Lizzo makes history - UPDATE ONLINE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-11-07T15:59:17+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-11-07T16:08:08+00:00\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/lizzo-makes-history\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/\",\"name\":\"UPDATE ONLINE\",\"description\":\"H.H.
