AceShowbiz - Ariana Grande is celebrating a major milestone as she reigns supreme atop both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 this week. Her latest single, "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)," debuts at No. 1 on the Hot 100, making it her seventh No. 1 debut and her ninth overall.
Grande's highly anticipated seventh studio album, "Eternal Sunshine", also claims the top spot on the Billboard 200. The album earned 227,000 equivalent album units in its first week, including 195 million on-demand official streams and 77,000 album sales.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Grande expressed her gratitude and shared her emotional journey behind the album. She described "Eternal Sunshine" as having "re-opened a lot of little and big feelings alike," acknowledging the vulnerable nature of some of its tracks.
Grande's grandmother, known as Nonna on the album closer "Ordinary Things," also made chart history. At 98 years old, she became the oldest person to chart on the Hot 100, with the song debuting at No. 55.
"We Can't Be Friends" continues Grande's record-breaking success. It is also her first song to top the Billboard Global 200. With this achievement, she surpasses Taylor Swift for the most No. 1 debuts among women.
Grande's previous single, the Madonna-inspired "Yes, And?," debuted at No. 10 on the Hot 100. It was preceded by the viral hit "Act II: Date @ 8," which features Drake and propelled Dallas-born artist 4Batz to his first Hot 100 top 10.
