Ariana Grande never struggled to dominate the charts with her new music, and that trend continued with her latest album Eternal Sunshine. This album hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, while its latest single “We Can’t Be Friends” topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
With 227,000 equivalent album units earned on its debut, Eternal Sunshine scored the largest week of 2024 for any album so far. It’s Grande’s sixth studio album to hit No. 1, following the success of Yours Truly (2013), My Everything (2014), Sweetener (2018), Thank U, Next (2019), and Positions (2020).
Grande promoted the release of her latest LP with the second single “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)”, which did pretty well on the Hot 100 chart. It blasted in at No. 1 with 32.6 million streams and 4.6 million radio airplay audience impressions during its debut week, setting several Hot 100 milestones along the way.
“We Can’t Be Friends” marks Grande’s seventh No. 1 debut on the Hot 100 chart, breaking the record previously held by Taylor Swift. She’s also the first female artist to have two albums produce multiple No. 1 debuts on the Hot 100, after previously topping the chart with “Yes, And?”
Eternal Sunshine came out on March 8, and it also hit No. 1 in several other countries, including the UK and Australia.
