She sees it, she likes it, she wants it, she gets it!
We know Ariana Grande is usually breakin’ necks and cashin’ checks, but she’s also breakin’ records too!
Ariana Grande has become the FIRST artist to hold the Billboard Hot 100 Nos. 1, 2 and 3 spots simultaneously. She beat out The Beatles, who previously held the record since 1964. Take a look at the three songs below:
#1 “7 Rings”: Her second single off her recent album Thank U, Next ha has been No. 1 on the Hot 100 for four weeks.
#2 “Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored”: Her third single on the album, debuted at No. 2
#3 “Thank U, Next”: Her first single off the album, and former seven-week leader has now rebounded from No. 7 to the No. 3 spot.
Grande is now the second act in the entire 60-year history of the Hot 100 to monopolize the top three in a week. The Beatles did it first, for five weeks back in March and April of 1964. You may remember last year when we reported that Drake also came close when he placed 1, 2 and 4 in July with his song “Nice for What,” “Nonstop” and “God’s Plan.” respectively. Although he DID break a record for seven simultaneous Hot 100 top 10s, and his album Scorpion debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 the same week.
Ariana tweeted her shock and gratitude when she heard the news:
