Ariana Grande's Duets With One Fellow Star Help Her Surge Globally
Ariana Grande is only a few months removed from re-releasing her album Eternal Sunshine as a deluxe edition titled Brighter Days Ahead, which includes several new cuts — among them her latest single, 'Twilight Zone.' While that tune continues to connect with listeners in the United States, a trio of Grande's hits are climbing on Billboard's two global rankings. Ariana Grande Claims Four Global Hits Grande currently occupies three spaces on both the Billboard Global 200 and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, with two-thirds of those smashes coming from her working relationship with frequent collaborator The Weeknd. Her biggest worldwide success at the moment, 'Save Your Tears' with The Weeknd, rises from No. 86 to No. 73 on the Billboard Global 200. On the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, it jumps 16 spots to No. 60. Another joint hit with The Weeknd, 'Die for You,' is also on the move. On the Billboard Global 200, it surges more than 20 spots, while on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, it creeps up three spaces. The track began as a solo single for The Weeknd before receiving a lift from Grande's remix. 'We Can't Be Friends' Continues to Climb Grande's own 'We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)' is also rising. Last frame, it sat at No. 196 on both global tallies. It now improves to No. 180 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 181 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. Ariana Grande's Global No. 1s Both 'Save Your Tears' and 'We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)' have ruled the Billboard Global 200, with the latter also topping the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. 'Die for You' previously reached the top three on both lists. All three tracks have now spent at least a year on the global rankings, with 'Save Your Tears' having already passed 200 weeks, making it one of the longest-charting tunes on the worldwide roster. 'Twilight Zone' Keeps Rising In the U.S., 'Twilight Zone' continues its upward trajectory. The track hits a new peak of No. 21 on Billboard's Radio Songs chart and returns to its high point of No. 5 on the Pop Airplay list. The catchy, low-key pop tune holds steady at No. 29 on the Adult Pop Airplay ranking, dips slightly from No. 20 to No. 21 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, and climbs on the Hot 100 from No. 81 to No. 70.

Ariana Grande Flies Back Onto The Hot 100 As Radio Pushes Her Latest Single
Ariana Grande's 'Twilight Zone' climbs to No. 11 on Pop Airplay and reenters the Hot 100 at No. 88, ... More fueled by ongoing radio attention. PARIS, FRANCE - JULY 26: Ariana Grande attends the red carpet ahead of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 on July 26, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by) In mid-April, Ariana Grande released the deluxe edition of her most recent album, Eternal Sunshine. The updated version, titled Brighter Days Ahead, features several new tracks that differentiate it from the original project and made it an exciting revisit for many fans. So far, Grande has promoted the revamped effort with just one tune: 'Twilight Zone.' As the pop superstar's latest era appears to be nearing its end, ongoing airplay is helping keep 'Twilight Zone' alive in the United States. 'Twilight Zone' Reaches a New Chart Peak Sales and streaming activity have significantly tapered off in the months since the song's debut. That said, 'Twilight Zone' reaches a new peak on two of the five Billboard rankings where it currently appears. The single is now just one spot away from entering the top 10 on the Pop Airplay chart, rising this frame from No. 12 to No. 11 on Billboard's ranking of the most successful tracks at top 40 stations across the U.S. At the same time, it climbs one slot on the all-genre Radio Songs list, ascending from No. 40 to No. 39. 'Twilight Zone' Begins to Fall on Some Radio Lists The same composition is also present on two other U.S. radio tallies, though it's beginning to slip. 'Twilight Zone' dips from No. 32 to No. 38 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart and falls from No. 23 — its all-time high — to No. 26 on the Adult Pop Airplay list. 'Twilight Zone' Finds its Way Back to the Hot 100 Despite the declines on some tallies, the fact that 'Twilight Zone' continues to receive spins across several formats appears to be fueling its comeback. This week, the track reenters the Hot 100 at No. 88. That's a far cry from its No. 18 peak, but the fact that it's managed to return to the tally months after its release — and without a presence on any sales or streaming-specific rankings — underscores the role that airplay can play in long-term chart success.

Watch: Ariana Grande wakes up in 'Twilight Zone' music video
1 of 5 | Ariana Grande released a music video Friday for her song "Twilight Zone." File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo June 20 (UPI) -- Pop star and Wicked actress Ariana Grande released a music video for her song "Twilight Zone," along with an a cappella version of the track Friday. The music video begins with the elderly Grande from her Brighter Days Ahead short film watching a video of her younger self wake up. "Did I dream the whole thing? Was I just a nightmare?" she sings as she awakens. Grande takes in her ransacked surroundings and walks downstairs to find the area flooded. The video appears to be a prequel to the "Supernatural" video, released in May, which shows her leaving the home and walking through a ravaged residential area before being beamed up into an alien spacecraft. The a cappella version of her song was met with love from her fans. "Her voice is so unbelievably beautiful and soothing," one fan commented. "Her vocals are angelic." Grande released the deluxe version of her Eternal Sunshine album on March 28. Ariana Grande turns 30: a look back

Ariana Grande Gets Calmly Abducted by a UFO in ‘Supernatural' Video
Ariana Grande is keeping the Eternal Sunshine era alive. On Monday, she dropped a new video for 'Supernatural,' repurposing a sci-fi scene from her Brighter Days Ahead short film for the visual. The Christian Breslauer and Ariana Grande-directed video sees Grande, dressed in a silk cream dress, walking through the debris of a city on fire. The pop star sings the lyrics as she looks at the aftermath of a disaster.

'It's takin' over me, don't wanna fight the fall/It's like supernatural.' Toward the end of the video, Grande walks toward a UFO-like beaming light. As she approaches it, Grande begins to levitate. 'Supernatural' is the fourth single off of Eternal Sunshine, which received a deluxe edition (and the accompanying short film) in March. 'Letting go is harder work than it seems, even when Grande's turning her pain into music,' read a Rolling Stone review of the deluxe album and film. 'But that's what makes these songs — like the rest of Eternal Sunshine — reach so deep.' Grande led the album with 'Yes, And?' in January 2024 and 'We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)' in March of that year. Following the LP's release, she dropped a video starring Penn Badgley for 'The Boy Is Mine' in June last year. In mid-April, the singer released a behind-the-scenes video of Brighter Days Ahead, her short film inspired by the 2004 indie classic Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. 'When we are young, sometimes we want to erase certain things or rewrite certain things that seem painful to us in the moment, but when we grow older, we would do anything to relive those moments,' Grande said in the clip.
