Chart Check [Hot 100]: Ariana Grande Charts EVERY SONG From New ‘Positions’ Album Simultaneously

Published: Tuesday 10th Nov 2020 by Rashad

It’s pretty safe to say Ariana Grande is having the best week ever.

The GRAMMY winner, whose latest album ‘Positions’ came with barely two weeks notice, took no one by surprise when it topped the Billboard 200 – marking the fifth time she’s reigned over the tally in her short career.

Just as unsurprising, every track that lines Grande’s newest project made a grand entrance on the refreshed Hot 100 as she’s listed 14 times across the chart’s 100 positions (5 times in the top 40 alone).

Led by last week’s #1 hit, ‘Positions’ (the song), Ari is responsible for this week’s top debuts (her historic 18th top 10 as we reported here) and more.
