'Don't Call Me Angel' is out now!

Ariana's collaboration with Miley Cyrus and Lana Del Rey - 'Don't Call Me Angel' for the Charlie's Angels soundtrack - is out now! They dropped both the song and music video on Friday so there's been a lot for us to digest in the forum. This has resulted in a lot of discussion over the last couple of days which is fabulous to see! Let us know what you think of the song and video if you haven't yet joined in the chat. Or perhaps get out your crystal ball and tell us where you think the song will debut in the chart.

Don't Call Me Angel - who is #1 angel?

A fresh new thread created by Bal asks us who we think was most impressive on the song 'Don't Call Me Angel' and who shone most in the video. Make sure to vote in both polls and let us know your reasons for these choices!

Don't Call Me Angel: initial ratings

The 'Don't Call Me Angel' talk does not end there quite yet. In this thread I asked you guys what your initial rating of the song, artwork and video would be. Let us know above!

My Everything: The Rate - Results

'Don't Call Me Angel' related chat is not all that has been going on! As us mods have been working hard to present results for the recent 'My Everything' rate too. This rate was created to celebrate the 5 year anniversary of Ariana's 2nd studio album. Results 15-12 have been announced, so feel free to catch up now before we go any further.

Bang Bang vs. Don't Call Me Angel

...more 'Don't Call Me Angel' content? Of course! As Cody asked us to choose between Ariana's two fierce female trio songs. Ari, Jessie and Nicki vs. Ari, Lana and Miley. Let us know if you prefer 'Bang Bang' or 'Don't Call Me Angel'!

Other discussion points this week included Lana covering Ariana in the Live Lounge (the crossover is just unstoppable right now) - with a cool rendition of 'break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored' and Ari playing some more shows in the UK this weekend. Turns out that some fans casually met her in Boots during her stay in the U.K.! Plus a lot of our members have gone to see her this weekend. Let us know your memories if you're one of 'em.

Plus, it was announced that we were 8th in the Posters' Chart with 62 posts for last week. Thanks so much for returning us to the top 10 after a quiet week!

General discussion - Ari goes home empty-handed at the EMAs but is celebrated in other ways

Unfortunately Ariana failed to win any EMAs at the 2019 ceremony despite receiving a whopping 7 nominations. But it's been a good week for her otherwise in our general discussion thread! First, 'no tears left to cry' was named as the 9th best song of the decade by Stereogum. 'Into You' also showed up in their list at #41! Her power in the charts has also been recognised - such as her not leaving the Billboard Hot 100 for over a year and a half (as 'Don't Call Me Angel' is still there). She's also been recognised as the 12th biggest artist of the decade by Billboard and Rolling Stone have said that she's averaged 89.8 million weekly streams this year. Amazing! Come and jump into the chat.

Ariana is back on the road

Ariana's tour will resume tonight and the set list now includes songs from one of her Christmas EPs 'Christmas & Chill'! Do you welcome the change?

'Santa Tell Me' season is back in full swing

Okay it may only be November but that doesn't mean that we can't start tracking 'Santa Tell Me's progress in 2019 yet! Come and join in with the festive chat.

Best new Ariana Charlie's Angels song?

The release of the 'Charlie's Angels' soundtrack last week gave us four new Ariana songs! But which is the best? 'How I Look on You' is currently leading the poll... but do you agree? Be sure to vote in the poll and let us know which song you chose.

thank u, next turns one!

Ariana's smash hit single 'thank u, next' has now turned a year old! She posted an emotional tribute on Twitter to mark the occasion. Come and celebrate with us above!

Finally, we finished in 8th place with 41 posts in the AF Posters' Chart. Thank you for keeping us in the top 10 again!

General discussion: when Ari met Bernie, Victorious Cast reunion & award win!

Finally, it was announced that Ariana won the 'Best International Solo Artist' category at BBC Radio 1's teen awards! Congrats to Ari and good luck to her at the AMAs tonight.

'Santa Tell Me' turns 5!

Today we're celebrating the 5 year anniversary of Ariana's modern Christmas staple 'Santa Tell Me'! Let us know how it's held up for you five years on above.

There's just no stopping 'thank u, next' in End of Decade lists as it has appeared in yet another one! It was #7 on Billboard's list that was released earlier in the week.

The past fortnight hasn't been the best ever for the forum - we did okay a couple of weeks ago at 9th with 31 posts, but dipped to 15th with 12 posts last week. Let's change that as Ari simply must be slaying at Christmas time! Let's keep the chat and Christmas rates coming.

Good afternoon everyone! It's been a busy time in the Ariana forum this week, here's what was happening...

Ariana drops brand new album 'k bye for now (swt live)'

On Monday 23rd December we were treated to a brand new live album from Ariana! She dropped 'k bye for now (swt live)' as her latest world tour was coming to an end. The album features over 30 live tracks and interludes so fans can experience the audio of her concerts for the first time, or all over again. This means Ariana has released a whopping 3 albums in one calendar year! Amazing. Let us know what you think of 'k bye for now (swt live)' if you've had the chance to hear it yet!

Ariana EOY Awards 2019

2019 has been a pretty crazy year for Ariana output - singles, music videos, collaborations and even albums left, right and centre. So, to celebrate a mammoth year, I've put together 5 main categories (and a bonus category!) and opened voting for these awards in a series of polls. These are best single, album track, music video, collaboration, album and a bonus category of the best single that celebrated its 5 year anniversary in 2019. Vote in the polls in the thread above and let us know your choices!

2020 hopes and predictions

It is also time to look to the future on top of reflecting! Next year marks the start of a brand new decade in Ariana's career. But will she begin the 2020s on a quiet note? Let us know your Ariana predictions and hopes for the new year in the thread above!

A very Ari Christmas

It's been a very festive week in the Ariana AF! Firstly, the results of our Christmas Rate concluded earlier in the week. Did you agree with the top 3? Next, we found out that 'Santa Tell Me' charted at #13 this year, matching its peak achieved last year! So close. Lastly, there's a general Merry Christmas thread if you'd like to wish your fellow Ariana fans a Merry Christmas/Happy New Year or discuss how Ariana impacted your Christmas perhaps - whether that was musically or gift-wise!

Elsewhere, both 'thank u, next' the album and single are continuing to be rewarded in EOY lists, Ariana featured in a celebrity lip-synching video of Mariah's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' and she broke the record for most monthly listeners for a female artist on Spotify ever. Incredible! Also, we found out that we were 8th in the AF Posters' Chart with 32 posts for the previous week. Thanks everyone for contributing to the forum in 2019! Have a happy new year.

Ariana announced as a performer for the Grammy Awards

This week it was officially confirmed that Ariana will be performing at the Grammy Awards! She was left disappointed last year when she was not allowed to perform what she wanted at the ceremony, therefore not going ahead with it. But this year she'll be back with a bang!

'7 rings' turns one year old

This week Ariana celebrated the one year anniversary of her smash hit '7 rings' on social media! How has it held up for you a year later?

General discussion: Ariana is sued again, involved in Eminem controversy and featured on Mac Miller's new album

This week there was a lot to talk about! For starters, the one year anniversary of '7 rings' hasn't started on the best note as artist Josh Stone is suing Ariana over similarities to one of his songs, yikes... also, Eminem included a controversial lyric about the Manchester tragedy that occurred at an Ariana concert on his new album. That has NOT gone down well as you would expect. In more positive news, hidden Ariana vocals were discovered on Mac Miller's new posthumous album and 'One Last Time' has received an iTunes boost due to usage on 'The Masked Singer' last night!

Ariana walks the red carpet and performs at the 2020 Grammy Awards!

Big news this week in the world of Ariana was her appearance at the Grammy Awards! Sadly she went home with 0 awards, after Billie Eilish dominated the night, but positive talking points were still easy to find away from that! Firstly, Ariana rocked up to the red carpet in a blue flowing dress, accompanying gloves and blonde hair! Many people quickly took to social media to say that she looked like a princess. Ari soon found herself on many best dressed lists too! However, the biggest Ariana talking point of the night was her performance of course. She treated the world to a medley that consisted of 'imagine', 'My Favourite Things', '7 rings' and 'thank, u next'! We're still waiting on a HQ upload on her official channel, but that didn't stop discussion in the thread. Join in above!

Deadline for Ariana Grande: The Singles Rate 2020 is rapidly approaching!

The deadline for Ariana Grande: The Singles Rate 2020 is Monday 3rd February 23:59 aka TOMORROW so please get your rates submitted above soon! We'd love to have as much participation as possible from people across the board so the results are as representative as they can be.

Why does '7 rings' have more views than 'thank u, next'?

This week I asked my burning question in 'why does '7 rings' have more views than 'thank u next'? in the AF and it has resulted in a lot of interesting theories from our posters! If you also have an opinion on the light-hearted debate then be sure to let us know above.

What is Ariana's best solo album?

Last night Jordan Lee started a thread asking us what our favourite Ariana solo album is. So, what is yours? Vote in the poll above and let us know why if you wish!

We finished in 11th place with 25 posts last week in the AF Posters' Chart, our first time outside of the top 10 for a little while, but I'm sure we'll bounce back this week with the amount of chat that has taken place. I'd also like to say thank you as I came 2nd in the BuzzJack Awards for 'Hardest Working AF Moderator' for my contributions in Ariana! Congratulations to Bal over in the Gaga/Madonna/Charli forums for winning and I'll make sure to keep up my passion for the Ariana forum for another year and beyond.
