There are many ways to “win” and Ariana Grande is ticking them all with new single ‘Problem (ft. Iggy Azalea)’.
The high-octane cut, which is lifted from the starlet’s upcoming sophomore album (due this Summer), rocketed to the top of the iTunes tally upon release yesterday. In the process, the Max Martin creation has broken a major record.
Details after the jump…
Writing on Twitter, 20-year-old Grande announced to her 15 million followers:
loves u broke a record! Problem is now the fastest song to ever climb to no 1 on @iTunesmusic only 37 minutes u are the most amazing
— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) April 28, 2014
Naturally, there’ll be many who will scrutinise the achievement due to the song being available for pre-order. Especially, as it sprung to the top largely based on automatic downloads of those purchases. However, the fact remains: the demand is clearly there, as is the widespread love for the sure-fire Summer anthem.
Congrats Ms. Grande!
Congrats to her not a fan but she deserves it! Get it Ariana!
Poor Gaga, her UK shows are not sold outs. Report that Sam.
😆
Why are you replying to me about gaga? You see how delusional you sound
Miley Cyrus will get her platinum status in the US this week.
When will your favs?
I still don’t know what does miley cyrus or anything have to do with what I initially wrote I mean how pathetic and crazy can you sound tho lol feel free to explain me to explain it to me lol cause I sure never ask about miley cyrus sales or gagas tour and this post is not about them so I still wanna figure out how there name got brought up #thestruggleisreal
can’t wait for ULTRAVIOLENCE
I’m sure the haters are gonna comment since they don’t like seeing no one having success besides there fave
It is called management buy-out. Her company bought that song to give an illusion that she broke the records.
It is all tactics hon. Failed.
Hating much? Lol I’m not a fan of this girl doesn’t matter how she broke the record? Have you broken any records?
I actually like songs, reminds me of “Talk Dirty 2.0” I hope she can develop into her own artist this era
Grats
Don’t like her and her music, but good for her.
so ghetto…yucks.
Congrats baby girls……problem is a cute songs.
Song for those gurls who love *sslicking and rimming.
Troll alert; you are not the real JOHNVIDAL
Who cares? lies where not told.
Hoax much. She bought own her songs. The rest of the world don’t even care.
🙁
Now you know youre NOT! a Beyhive! Trolling Ass. Get a life. Hater
One hit wonder…just like Salene Gomez.
Congrats indeed! Regardless of preorders, people are buying the song continuously! Good for her, people need to celebrate talent rather than tear everyone down… I enjoy so many different artists and types of music and I’m sure all of the trolls on this website listen to the ones they “drag” just as often as their “faves”.
I wonder how long she gonna have to be on tour to pay back her record label. just like beyonce have to work like a s**** back to back tours to pay back pepis.
I actually don’t understand the hate at all or need to compare any of these artist. It’s so weird to me that I can feel the negative energy through the computer as soon as I come to this site. Anyway Ariana is very talented and adorable. Her songs are very Mariah xtina ish and that is a good sound. I like her and I’m a true lamb. Which proves you all wrong to say mariah fans are insecure.
Nice going ms.Grande
I wonder who will break this record next
To bad ciflop can’t
Nice! Congratulations to her! I’m definitely rooting for this girl to make a name for herself.
B**** is you dont Stfu with yo happy go lucky a** i can’t stand yo f**** self shut up h** damn. go off yourself u stupid a** f** i never could stand yo m***** a**
Death. Don’t be afraid to post behind your real name
Lol @ Pressed, stale b****** that want you to hate on these newbies so bad because of their struggling favs! Address me with your real name and stop hiding behind made up s***! You know that you post here all the time, so get some courage and use your main user name and not one of your multiple unknowns. I’m pretty sure you’re that psychotic, flip-flopping, delusional stan that come here everyday! Be ballsy!
Anyway
Ariana >>>> your fav
JLo >>>>> fav
Nicki >>>> Fav
& Bey >>>>>
Now stay mad scary b****!
this kid remind me of Tamar Broketon. buying her own songs/records. i can’t
Congrats .. I’m sure it more than likely sounds like another Mariah song. I’m confused tho, why is it that if someone is successful (largely women) in selling music it always has to be the record label purchasing them.. I understand that it could be a possibility but some of you all speak as if you work in the industry or at her label and wat ur saying is fact.. Damn do we hate music that much now and the artists who create it? What happened why did it become so important to only have one person successful. Yawl don’t like to have a music library anymore?

Haha I love this!
With Ariana at number 1, there’s one less problem dealing with payola perry and thiefyonce
This video better be good. She set the bar high for herself
SLAY!
this sophomore album will flop harder than yours truly. cant wait to see her back to be youtube singer
and do a lot of covers including payola perry, cyprus and her biggest idol of copycat – mama thiefyonce
Better than payola perry. I just need her to step her performance game up and get some stage presence
Coming from a Rihanna stan??? Kii
LMAOO no a j flop STAN coming for rihanna when your fave has been trying to be on top for like 20 years now and has failed everytime. Even at her peak she was still irrelevant
And kiii at ur fave only selling around 80 mil when she has been trying for like 20+ years lmaooooo. Not bey and rih topping that in half the time. #lessorbi*** #dismissed
*80 mil records
she seems nice im happy 4 her
Regardless of who bought it, it’s bought. Besides, record companies have bought their own artist albums for decades, and it will not stop anytime soon. As least Ari is talented, unlike some of the others who the record companies buy for. Besides, I bought it, so they obviously didn’t buy that many. Say congrats to Ari and stop the hate.
You stan for Shakira nobody is listening to you h**
At a certain point it has got to become obvious that hating is useless. The same zealots have been bitterly coming here to trash the same singers to the hilts (hoping that their virtual vitriol will trigger some kind of cosmic downfall for that artist) day-in and day-out for years, and yet these singers continue to be supported and successful. When do you realize that it’s a waste of time/energy, wave the white flag and move on to something else? The angst you must feel over the continued presence of these celebrities you could easily be ignoring must be eating away at your spirit worse than a tapeworm. You’ll learn.
It’s hilarious how whenever a song or an album is strikingly successful, the naysayers pathetic way of coping with it is to arbitrarily claim that that artists camp is “buying their own records.” 😆 Where is your proof? Methinks if you had any you’d be presenting it with your haterade, but rarely do I ever see anyone posting anything proving it. So basically it’s just random gibberish to ease your frayed ego over being outnumbered by fans. Ha. Anyway, I wasn’t born in the 90s, which means I’m way too grown for Ariana and her music, but good for her anyway.

@navy’s commander your statistic ain’t correct..michael jackson is 1billion record sold
Wow, major congrats to Ariana! I have a feeling this album will be very successful and even better then Yours Truly! The haters/trolls will have to deal with it. I need proof of her label buying copies. Why don’t they do that with their other artists?
Shanghai’s property market saw a short period of price cutting in the first quarter which stimulated the enthusiasm of potential buyers. But the prices have recovered in recent months due to the booming demand.
