As high as #7 in Billboard's '100 Best Songs of the 2010s' list QUOTE When Grande split up with SNL’s Pete Davidson after a very public whirlwind romance, the obvious thing to do was drop a tabloid-ready celebrity breakup diss track. Instead, Grande released one of the most generous breakup songs of all time — an ode to lessons learned and self-love set to a fluttery track that suggests a mind at peace already moving on to new discovery. She cycles through a list of relationship revelations, sounding light-years from the man-needing bubblegum-soul diva of only a couple of years ago. “Even almost got married/And for Pete, I’m so thankful,” she sings. Grande began work on the song in the midst of her relationship with Davidson, and she wrote several versions of the song, including one where they get married: “Then we broke up again, so we ended up going with that verse.” —J.D.

QUOTE Compared to the days of Michael Jackson’s Thriller which was a global event, the appreciation for music videos has waned dramatically. No longer are we gathering round the TV watching MTV waiting for the latest mesmerising visuals to replay – we only have to tap a few letters into YouTube to watch our favourite artists on demand. Simply, music videos aren’t as much of an event as they once were. But crikey, we’ve had some smashing music videos over the past decade so thankfully, there are some artists who do still care. From all the celebrity cameos in Ariana Grande’s Thank U, Next to the artistry of Beyonce’s Formation and the hidden messages in Childish Gambino’s This Is America, we’ve been well and truly spoiled with some iconic visuals. QUOTE Ariana Grande – Thank u, Next (2018) Director: Hannah Lux Davis Views: 462 million After a rough couple of years, Thank U, Next was the emancipation Ariana needed and it became one of the biggest pop culture moments of the decade. Recreating Mean Girls? Brilliant. Having Kris Jenner play the ‘cool mum’? Genius. Cameos: Kris Jenner, Elizabeth Gillies, Troye Sivan, Colleen Ballinger, Jonathan Bennett, Jennifer Coolidge, Matt Bennett Hooray! Ariana was killing it with music videos last year.

It's interesting to note that 'no tears left to cry' passed 800 million streams this week, while also having around 800 million views on YouTube, but the 'thank u next' video on YouTube has less than half of the plays that it has on Spotify, with '7 rings' having 'only' 670 million YouTube views compared to its 1 billion Spotify milestone too. She's done well on YouTube for years now (a few of her older videos have 1 billion+ views) but now she has Spotify in the palm of her hand, skyrocketing there.

Initially I was so confused at how this stormed to #1 here, in the US and across the world when none of her sweetener singles managed it and on half a weeks sales too! I still think all the sweetener singles are better than this but I do now appreciate this. Back when I actually had Facebook the music video of this was being shared by pretty much all my friends too it was a huge pop culture moment and a defining moment of Ariana being the biggest person in the world at that moment releasing what would be a huge viral moment.
