Yay! So happy this is easily going to be #1. I wonder how many weeks it can manage overall :thinking:

I am really liking this. It is Ariana by numbers and she is clearly staying in this lane she has crafted for herself for the long run going off the singles we've had in the past few years, but it works so I'm not too fussed. I'm vibing :music:

Glad you're enjoying it so much Bal!

 

Today's midweeks:

 

1 Ariana Grande - positions (47.8k) *

2 Internet Money & Gunna feat. Don Toliver & NAV - Lemonade (29.8k)

3 KSI feat. Craig David & Digital Farm Animals - Really Love (26.8k) *

4 Wes Nelson & Hardy Caprio - See Nobody (23.8k)

5 Tate McRae - you broke me first (23.7k)

 

Still way out in front :cheer:

 

Look what turned up this morning! :wub:

 

Also... chart day :o

Congratulations to Ariana for her 7th U.K. #1 single with this! :cheer:

 

Other artists on the same tier as her, according to an OCC article in May: Elton John, George Michael, Jess Glynne, Justin Bieber, Kylie Minogue, McFly, Michael Jackson, Robbie Williams, Sam Smith, Tinie Tempah & U2.

So in terms of solo females it’s literally just Madonna and Rihanna who’s had more #1s than Ariana!

 

 

Incredible! Btw this sold 60,909 to be #1 - a 20k+ lead over #2 *.*

Ouch at it dropping to #2 on Apple Music to Wes

She might still be ahead officially as she has two versions of the song now (but then again he also released an acoustic version today).

 

 

Just seen on iTunes that the single version has gone and it’s just the album version now.

Actually yeah that’s another version at 49 so it’s still way ahead.

 

 

So in terms of solo females it’s literally just Madonna and Rihanna who’s had more #1s than Ariana!

 

Solo female artists with the most UK #1s

 

Madonna - 13

Rihanna - 9

Kylie - 7

Jess Glynne - 7

Ariana - 7

I also received the CD single yesterday :wub:

 

A minor error - the catalog number printed on the spines is wrong (in fact it's the same catalog number as the European 'thank u, next' album CD). However the correct catalog number for positions is printed on the back cover, the inlay of the front cover, and the disc.

I also received the CD single yesterday :wub:

I ordered it, but still waiting for it to arrive.

#1 in the U.S.! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: she extends her record of #1 debuts! First artist ever to score 3 debuts in the same year too.

 

Ari also the first female artist to achieve 3+ #1s in a calendar year since Katy and Rihanna 10 years ago. Remember when this year was supposed to be her year off? :rofl: :heart:

 

On track for a 2nd week at #1 in the U.K. also.

Wow!!!

 

Ariana and those achievements she keeps on getting is just insane!

 

 

Incredible success :wub: So pleased for her!

Finding myself going back to the music video a lot :wub: I love the transitions!

Spends a second week at #1 in the UK today :wub: her third multi-week chart topper here after 'thank u, next' (6) and '7 rings' (4 - non-consecutive) now!

Well deserved! I still maintain it's one of my favourite songs she's ever done tbh. Love a solo female @ #1 too.
