Encyclopedia : N : NU : NUM : Number One Spot

"Number One Spot" is a 2005 hit off rapper Ludacris' 2004 album The Red Light District. The song draws heavily on "Soul Bossa Nova" by Quincy Jones, which was used as the theme from the Austin Powers series. In addition, the video features Verne Troyer, who played Mini-Me.

A controversial line is used in this song as an answer to commentator Bill O'Reilly's accusations that he is helping ruin America, also pointing out O'Reilly's sexual harassment problems. Somewhat ironically, the song only reached #19 on the US Hot 100 chart and #30 in UK.

"Number One Spot" was nominated at for Best Rap Solo Performance at the Grammy Awards of 2006, but lost to Kanye West's "Gold Digger". The music video won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Rap Video in 2005.
