What do you think? I'm happy with that winner but my own list currently looks like this:

 

01. Dangerous Woman

02. thank u, next

03. positions

04. sweetener

05. My Everything

06. Yours Truly

 

(yep 'sweetener' has overtaken 'My Everything' these days as I find myself returning to it more lately despite its flaws)

i-D has published a 'Best pop comebacks of the 21st century so far, ranked' list and Ariana appears a lot!

51. “Positions”, Ariana Grande (2020)

Ari, on a roll post-thank u,next, merges the White House, meeting the parents and being dead f***ing horny on this R&B bop. “34 + 35” shoulda been the lead single, though.

 

39. “Focus”, Ariana Grande (2015)

The unofficial start of the Dangerous Woman era. Horns and cowbells. Underrated. Big in Japan.

 

37. “Problem (feat. Iggy Azalea)”, Ariana Grande (2014)

Back when Iggy Azalea was getting hip-hop nominations at the Grammys, Ari enlisted her for a verse on the first single from her sophomore record, My Everything. Real heads know “Break Free” should’ve been the big debut.

 

23. “thank u, next”, Ariana Grande (2018)

Ari hadn’t really gone away when this one dropped, but this was a surefire smash to kick off her most iconic era. Fight us: the second best lead Ariana Grande single of 2018.

 

16. “Dangerous Woman”, Ariana Grande (2017)

The birth of Ariana Horné; mid-tempo magic. The vocal runs!

 

3. “No Tears Left to Cry”, Ariana Grande (2018)

Trauma forced Ariana Grande to put her life on pause. Following the terrorist attack at her Manchester Arena show in support of Dangerous Woman in 2017, she retreated from the public eye to start therapy, cancelling the remainder of her world tour. But later, the studio became a refuge, and as she started to learn how to cope with PTSD, she started to make the most glorious and gracious comeback record. Arriving in the spring of 2017, “No Tears Left to Cry”. A song that’s both immensely sad in its subtext but sonically dreamy and buoyant, it speaks of the experience of her past but through a lens of hope. Two years on, it’s still a perfectly formed exercise in a return to pop, while also being a testament to the genre’s ability to instil hope in us all.

 

3rd behind 'Formation' and 'Bad Romance'! 'no tears left to cry' is so underrated in countdowns ('thank u, next' seems to get the most praise) so great to see it smashing here :wub:

He's not far wrong. Some great positions there, pretty great feedback in general too. Nice surprise to see 'Focus' get a mention at all really. It is underrated.

 

Number 22 got me:

"22. “Only Girl (In the World)”, Rihanna (2010)

Its impact on Superdrug’s stock of red hair dye was unparalleled."

 

:rofl: :rofl:

no tears definitely deserves that!

 

I don’t class thank u, next as a comeback tbh even though it’s a lead single even Bad Romance I don’t class as a comeback tbh!

 

But I see comebacks more as when the artist has been away and they’re making that grand return back to music.

Billboard EOY stats are out and it's too late in the year for the 'positions' era to impact but she did place elsewhere:

 

SINGLES

#48 Rain On Me

#80 Stuck With U

 

ALBUMS

#57 thank u, next

 

Love that 'thank u, next' still had this mileage despite that campaign being killed off way too quickly :kink: 'Rain On Me's success is everything :wub:

Omg, my mum had Loose Women on to watch Andrea McLean's last day on the panel and it showed her interviewing Ariana during her best bits so I had to rush straight to YouTube to find that :lol: turns out that this was in 2015, love that Ari was casually on U.K. daytime TV back then:

 

 

 

Hard to imagine Ariana appearing on Loose Women now! Hard to imagine her promoting the UK full stop. :kink:
