The first No. 1 song on the charts (proper rocknroll) is Rock around the clock

by Bill Haley(Apex)
You didn't include the choices, but most sources would say it was Bill Haley and the Comets, with "Rock Around the Clock," which became a huge top-40 hit in 1955.

The first song to chart on the Billboard top 40 was "Let me Go Lover" by Joan Weber in January, 1955.....however, it was hardly a rock song.

The first true rock song to chart was "Rock around the clock" in July, 1955
