This has been out for a year now!!!

 

Still easily my favourite Ari track and I listen to it all the time 😍 One of the best songs of this decade :wub:

Happy birthday NTLTC!!! :heart:

How did that happen so quick?! Iconic song.

A whole year!

 

It's fair to say this is a classic already, still such a shame the album itself was so far below this in quality.

Such an incredible song. Unfortunately I haven't really liked anything she's put out after it.. :(

My favourite song by hers.

 

And the start of run of so many BOPS as well.

 

sweetener is her best album in my opinion :heart:

I guess this is a perfect example of why going #1 is irrelevant nowadays because this is probably her most iconic song now (well along with OLT which is another example) and the funny thing is I think most people think this actually did go #1 because of how inescapable it was

absolutely this

I’d say that thank u is her most iconic song now tbh, even though it’s not as good as Tears

I can't believe I was underwhelmed by this on the first few listens

 

what a song~

I agree with its popularity but I wouldn't say this was the perfect example of chart relevancy. There's always been huge songs that everyone would think we're #1s but weren't.

This song is amazing. She's had a really strong run of singles but nothing she's released since NTLTC has lived up to it.

Plus the song that kept it off was the biggest song of the year.

We stan a legend.

What a smash :wub: her third double platinum single now after 'Bang Bang' and 'One Last Time'!

Both 800 million+ Spotify streams and 800 million+ YouTube views now!

Replaying the heck out of this again these past few days for no apparent reason except it exceeds perfection.

That video intro leading into the song is still just stunning.

 

Is there a version of the song available to buy anywhere like on iTunes with that intro? It just sounds so GOOD!

 

One of my favourite songs of the entire last decade and still my favourite Ariana track. #1 on my personal chart as well so it did go to #1 somewhere.

 

Tbh Arianas #1s in the UK (aside from thank u, next) are kinda like not what you’d expect if you didn’t follow the charts. Like I bet almost everyone would assume that this and One Last Time went to #1 and wouldn’t necessarily think break up with your gf managed it :lol:.

I don't think there's a studio version of 'no tears left to cry' with the video intro but the live version from 'k bye for now (swt live)', available to buy, includes it!

 

'God is a woman' is her only release that stands in the way of this being my favourite - what a 1-2 punch <3 well... 'breathin' extended the excellence too :wub:

 

Her peaks are indeed a bit all over the place when it comes to being indicative of the song's impact, I think chart-toppers 'thank u, next' and '7 rings' are definitely signature songs already but 'One Last Time' and 'no tears left to cry' are up there too as you say despite missing out :heart: I thought 'Problem' would be Ariana's signature song at the time but it's been eclipsed by quite a few others in her discography now. I was saying the same thing about Rita the other day actually - I thought 'R.I.P.' would be her signature song at the time but it was soon overtaken by the likes of 'I Will Never Let You Down' and 'Anywhere'. It's interesting to see what truly stands the test of time, 'Problem' feels fairly of its time with the horn trend and an Iggy feature but 'One Last Time' from the same era sounds like an eternal classic.

One Last Times chart run is so interesting though.

 

For a time I thought it was gonna miss the top 40, then it suddenly got that push into the top 40 ages after the video come out was it because of Kendall Jenner dancing to it or something :lol: ?

 

Then again it returned to the charts after the awful events of Manchester. It’s gutting that it only ever got the #2 peak here because of that like it would’ve still had that #22 peak.
