Will ‘Yes, And?’ be Ariana Grande‘s historic 8th no. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100? All signs are pointing toward a resounding “yes”…and the details are inside.
Judging by the commercial response on digital music platforms just 24 hours after the January 12 release of ‘Yes,’ it was quickly apparent Ari had a monster hit on her hands.
As if topping real-time Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, and YouTube charts with the original incarnation of the Max Martin-produced bop wasn’t enough to boast, she rolled out several other versions (i.e. a capella, extended, etc.) over the days that followed.
Mixed with a handsome welcome at radio, the overall sales+streaming combo is looking to be just what the doctor ordered to land Grande her next chart-topper as industry analysts predict ‘Yes’ will open at all-genre chart’s summit.
If the projection proves true Ariana will tie Taylor Swift in Hot 100 history books for the most #1 debuts among female artists (6 apiece). At writing, Drake is the all-time leader with 9.
Although social media conversation doesn’t convert to currency on the main Billboard charts, there should still be a nod given to Lil Nas X‘s latest single – ‘J Christ’ – for being the week’s most talked about new song.
Also released on January 12, the tune and its shocking/sacrilegious self-directed music video arrived after ample teasing on Twitter and Tik Tok – provocation that certainly courted massive coverage and controversy from the press and music lovers alike.
Despite the chatter and subsequent uproar, however, the Omer Fedi-produced cut garnered a modest response at radio, streaming, and on sales platforms, leading industry analysts to predict it will likely debut in the Hot 100’s third quadrant between #71-74.
If the prediction proves true it will mark one of the lowest openings of his career to date on the all-genre chart.

Keep it locked to That Grape Juice next week to find out where both songs premiere on the Hot 100.

Yas sis … not going to happen.

Love her…..get that hit sis!
Rimming who? I heard his hygiene is very questionable 🫣

you are dumb. Yes and sounds more like Madonna’s vogue. If you think it is a rip off of Break my soul then Beyonce was copying Madonna. secondly, album title has nothing to do with the album content. Stupid Dusty ass ho, go get your luggage and never came back! Be GONE!
Her vocal sounds weak…sounds like a constipated fart……

Ironic…….. 😉
Idgaf what outsold what. Taylor swift still CANNOT sing. Lmao if you’re mad just say that. She can outdo whoever all she wants, the truth remains she has no vocal talent. I’m not falling for your sad attempt at racebating “ Sit down mama ghetto Molly” again Taylor CANNOT sing.
Taylor is the next female MJ…..yall stay mad while watching your idol with your babies daddy sis…

Vocally she can’t sing. We all knew this
Both deserve their chart positions! That Barb clown broke Mariah’s record dressed heteronormatively. Now that he’s the new Sam Smith—performatively flamboyant—commercial fail’s blamed on blasphemy.
Rashaddddddd
I’m not writing staff, pinky swear.
Whaaaat? Most of Beyawnce writing credits are due to sampling. 🙂 This should be common sense by now to BeyHIVs calling her as a queen they should have their brain scanned!
So sadddddd!
Yall trying to copy Mamadona’s trajectory but failed inbcluding that lame Ladyboy GagGag
Princess is back.

Stop mentioning Lil Nas name.
Wtf
The article is a reach to even give him mention along with top sales.
Love to see LilFAGX FLOP 🙏🏽😊
It’s time for lil Nas X to make the music speak for it self. Get over trying to shock the world or prove a point. Let the music play!
Gaynas should prostitute himself to Diddy’s inner circle than releasing this turd
🤣🤣🤣
Or Obama!
Why mentioned this gay power bottom with Princess Ari?
she is amazing
you are dumb. Yes and sounds more like Madonna’s vogue. If you think it is a rip off of Break my soul then Beyonce was copying Madonna. secondly, album title has nothing to do with the album content. Stupid Dusty ass ho, go get your luggage and never came back! Be GONE!
Good for her, and that’s what he gets!
Personally, I’m glad Nas X failed. God don’t like ugly, Chile. May he continue to fail. 💅🏾
