Hot 100: Ariana Grande Makes History with the #1 Debut of New Single ‘Yes, And?’

Published: Monday 22nd Jan 2024 by Rashad

True to industry analyst predictions, Pop princess Ariana Grande reigns over the Hot 100 yet again thanks to the warm reception of her comeback single ‘Yes, And?’

Full story below…

With its House-inspired beat, Grande’s ‘Yes’ has been met with a resounding yessss from listeners – a critical acclaim that was matched by a handsome commercial response.

Here are the numbers that bolstered the bop’s opening atop the current Hot 100.

  • Streaming: 27.2 million U.S.-based streams
  • Sales:  41,000 digital downloads
  • Radio airplay:  24.8 million audience impressions

A musical clapback to critics who have weighed in on everything from the Pop diva’s romantic life to her physical appearance and more, the Max Martin-produced cut – thanks to flying to the top of real-time sales and streaming charts – seemed poised to dominate Billboard charts just 24 hours after its January 12 arrival.

Still managing to outperform expectations, the #1 entrance of ‘Yes’ marks her 8th overall chart-topper on the Hot 100 and also comes attached to some historic stats.

First, it maintains Ari’s unique and longstanding record of being the only artist to see the first single from each of her studio albums debut in the tally’s top 10.

Next, the feat ties her with Taylor Swift for most #1 debuts among females (6). When all artists are considered, Drake is the all-time leader with 9.

    I knew it would! TBH it’s been living rent free in my head all week. And I knew the words after a few listens. It’s a really good song with a catchy tune. Bravo, Ari!

    Maybe it’ll grow on me… but the only reason it went No. 1 was because of the 10 different versions available for download.

    ‘Positions’ went no. 1 without all of that, and during a competitive November instead of slow January like this song. Hmm 🤔

  5. TAYLOR SWIFT January 22, 2024

    Watch it drop 25 spots next week….

      No one over 19 listens to Taylor swift. Ari is a professional singer and makes adult contemporary. I don’t listen to the same music as my 2nd graders.

    I really don’t understand why someone who can sing chooses to make trash music. Oh, I get it! Money and Billboard chart success. Trash sells.
