Ariana Grande Fans Love Both The Old And The New — Just Look At The Charts
Ariana Grande keeps eight songs on the charts in the U.K., as smashes like "Break Free" and ... More "Popular" from Wicked return. SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - NOVEMBER 03: Ariana Grande attends the "Journey Through Oz" Tour to celebrate the Australian premiere of "Wicked" at State Theatre on November 03, 2024 in Sydney, Australia. (Photo by Don Arnold/WireImage) Ariana Grande is once again present on multiple tallies in the United Kingdom. The Grammy winner is enjoying another big week across the Atlantic, as a mix of new arrivals and tracks that made her a superstar re-enter, climb, and even manage to debut. She's in the middle of a busy frame, one which sees her fans showing up to buy, buy, buy – and just as she's released the deluxe edition of her latest album, Eternal Sunshine, which is about to become a bestseller all over again as well. Eight of Grande's tracks appear on at least one ranking in the U.K. this frame. That's an impressive showing for any artist, but what makes it especially noteworthy for her is that several of those wins are actually comebacks. The resurgence takes place as fans rush to snap up physical copies of both her brand new songs and those from years past. Among all the returning tracks, "Popular" is the highest riser. The tune reappears on the Official Singles Sales chart at No. 20, coming close to its all-time best of No. 15. Helping drive its return is a recently-released vinyl edition that fans quickly snapped up. "Popular" opens at No. 2 on both the Official Physical Singles and Official Vinyl Singles charts, showing how important purchases on these formats sales can be. Grande's other Wicked track, her take of "Defying Gravity" with Cynthia Erivo, is also a hit again in a big way, though not specifically because it returns. The collaboration opens at No. 3 on both the Official Physical Singles and Official Vinyl Singles rankings. On the main singles sales tally, the tune climbs alongside "Popular,' coming in one space beneath that song, which remains, well, popular. "One Last Time" and "Break Free" both manage to reappear on two separate U.K. rankings this frame. "One Last Time" is the stronger performer, as it returns to the top 40 on both tallies it finds a home on. It lands at No. 30 on the Official Vinyl Singles list and No. 37 on the Official Physical Singles chart. Not far behind that smash is "Break Free," the EDM banger Grande recorded with Zedd back in 2014. Though he isn't officially credited this time around, the collaboration re-enters the vinyl tally at No. 35. It also comes in at No. 43 on the chart measuring top-selling songs across all physical formats. There's one more comeback worth noting from Grande's catalog, and it's the hit "Problem," featuring Iggy Azalea. That track is back on the Official Physical Singles chart this week. The tune reappears at No. 65, and it has now spent more than a full year on that list. Not all of Grande's chart activity this frame involves comebacks. Some tracks are simply continuing their rise — or sliding. "The Boy Is Mine" and "Santa Tell Me" both climb more than 30 spaces on the Official Physical Singles ranking. On the other hand, "Yes, And?," the lead single from Eternal Sunshine, drops nearly 30 positions on the same list.

Two Ariana Grande Smashes Return — Including A Christmas Song?
Ariana Grande is accustomed to scoring big hits all around the world. Usually, whenever she delivers something new, it rockets toward the top of charts seemingly everywhere. This week, the focus is not on the newer tunes – or what she's about to share – but rather on two of her past smashes, which are proving their staying power once again. It's not unusual for older songs – especially from powerhouses like Grande – to casually return. What makes her current resurgence particularly interesting is that the two tracks could not be more different from one another. One is an electronic dance anthem, and the other is a Christmas classic. Somehow, both are among the bestselling physical singles in the country right now — even though it's March. Grande sees two of her most beloved songs reappear on the Official Physical Singles chart this week. That tally ranks the bestselling tracks across any physical format in the U.K. 'Break Free,' her high-energy collaboration with Zedd, is back at No. 70. Meanwhile, 'Santa Tell Me' surprises many by finding its way back to the tally at No. 73, despite the fact that the holiday season ended months ago. Both 'Break Free' and 'Santa Tell Me' have a successful history on the Official Physical Singles chart. 'Break Free' has now spent nine weeks on the ranking, and at its peak, it climbed as high as No. 7. Meanwhile, 'Santa Tell Me' has spent a total of eight frames on the tally and once reached a No. 3. That's a lofty position for a holiday cut, though British music lovers are known for their penchant for yuletide tracks. Grande has more than just these two songs on the U.K. charts. 'Defying Gravity,' her duet with Cynthia Erivo from the Wicked film, is still present on a pair of different sales-based lists, though it's declining this week. The track drops from No. 55 to No. 75 on the Official Singles Sales list and falls from No. 51 to No. 71 on the Official Singles Downloads roster. Her latest single, 'The Boy Is Mine,' is gaining traction. The Eternal Sunshine track climbs on both of the tallies where it appears, rising from No. 31 to No. 29 on the Official Physical Singles chart and improving from No. 35 to No. 33 on the Official Vinyl Singles ranking. Grande's latest album Eternal Sunshine is also back. The project returns to two charts in the U.K. this week, placing at No. 89 on both the Official Albums and Official Albums Streaming rankings. The resurgence of Eternal Sunshine comes at an exciting time, as the singer is heavily teasing the release of a deluxe edition. Fans are eagerly awaiting the expanded version, which is expected to arrive later this month.
