[Tex/LaTex] Figure Placement in twocolumn mode

Question

I have unable to fit the figures are in 2nd Page. It's printing in 3rd Page onwards. How to get the figure should align in top of the 2nd page.

\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\onecolumn{\title{Article Title Here}
\author{balaji}
\maketitle
\twocolumn[]\begin{figure*}
\centering\rule{0.8\textwidth}{0.3\textwidth}
\end{figure*}

\begin{table*}[!t]
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{lcr}
    1 & 2 & 3 \\        4 & 5 & 6 \\        7 & 8 & 9
  \end{tabular}
  \caption{Blabla}
  \label{tab:1}
\end{table*}


\lipsum[1-5] 


\lipsum[1-15]

\end{document}

Answer 1

I deleted the markup that was causing warnings in the log, and the floats appear at the top of page 2 as you requested:

\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\title{Article Title Here}
\author{balaji}
\maketitle
\begin{figure*}
\centering\rule{0.8\textwidth}{0.3\textwidth}
\end{figure*}

\begin{table*}[!t]
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{lcr}
    1 & 2 & 3 \\        4 & 5 & 6 \\        7 & 8 & 9
  \end{tabular}
  \caption{Blabla}
  \label{tab:1}
\end{table*}

% if you want to force both columns empty on the first page
\vspace*{\fill}\pagebreak
\vspace*{\fill}\pagebreak

\lipsum[1-5] 


\lipsum[1-15]

\end{document}
