Already no stranger to history books thanks to her seemingly untouchable stats on streaming platforms, Ariana Grande‘s ‘Positions’ era has only seen her collect even more mentions in Billboard’s record logs.

As if the album coming as the second of her career to chart all of its songs on the Hot 100 wasn’t enough, the LP’s also enjoyed historic stats attributed to its title track as well as its follow-up single, ’34+35′ (as we reported here).

Now, thanks to the arrival of ‘Test Drive’ – the only other song from the project’s deluxe edition to land entry on the charts as of time reported – the GRAMMY winner’s accelerated her bid for yet another history-making mark.
