Jonathan Bailey joined an exclusive club on Monday (Nov. 3) when he was named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive. But he also joins an even more exclusive club, as just the eighth Sexiest Man Alive who has also made the Billboard Hot 100.

Bailey cracked the Hot 100 in December 2024 with “Dancing Through Life” from Wicked. The track, featuring Ariana Grande, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode and Cynthia Erivo, reached No. 90. Grande and Erivo went on to receive Oscar nominations for their roles, but Bailey was passed over for a nod.

Bailey’s selection was announced on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The People cover line reads: “Wicked-ly handsome and oh-so-charming. We know, we nailed it.”
