'thank u, next' and 'positions' are Ari's two latest lead singles and they've had the exact same chart trajectory so far (6 weeks at #1 in the U.K.) - but which one is superior? gl1aHhXnN1k thank u, next tcYodQoapMg positions

On the flip-side, I was really underwhelmed by 'thank u, next' at first, but it did grow, however not to the heights of 'positions'. To compare, 'positions' charted at #1 for me and I think 'thank u, next' got to #18 eventually! On a wider scale, I do think 'thank u, next' is still Ariana's signature hit and a huge moment in pop culture.

TUN getting 6 weeks at #1, I was fine with, because it was really such a cultural moment and a nice reset for her considering the year(s) she just had to go through. positions doesn't really do anything, it's not that good of a song coupled with the lack of meaning behind it.. and there were other songs on the charts that were just.. better?
