Ariana Grande is the unstoppable queen of No. 1 debuts and she proved her domination once again with her latest album Positions. This record became her fifth album to top the Billboard 200 chart, only a week after she scored another top-charting single with the song of the same name.
With 174,000 equivalent album units earned in its first week, Positions easily hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, despite the fact that Grande has been teasing it for less than a month. This is her third album to top the chart in less than two years and three months, following the success of Sweetener and Thank U, Next.
The lead single “Positions” debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart last week but dropped to No. 2 following the album’s release. The rest of the songs from this record also made it to the chart, including the second single “34+35” at No. 8.
After scoring another chart-topping album, Grande took a moment to thank her fans on social media. She described Positions as her favorite album yet and said her heart is “so incredibly full” after seeing all the positive reactions.
