Ariana Grande may be well on her way to having 2024’s biggest first-week sales thanks to the impressive figures attached to her March 8-released studio album, ‘Eternal Sunshine,’ but the Billboard 200 won’t be the only place her name is glowing as ‘We Can’t Be Friends‘ – the LP’s latest single – is on pace to top next week’s Hot 100.
Already a fan favorite from its parent project, interest in the Max Martin-produced cut skyrocketed over the weekend thanks to Grande’s soaring debut live performance during a stint on ‘SNL‘ on Saturday (March 9).
Before that, the GRAMMY winner lifted the lid on her tribute to Jim Carrey‘s 2004 film ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind‘ for the tune’s official music video.
Now, her bid to ensure ‘Friends’ lands atop the updated Hot 100 comes courtesy of three new versions: string, a capella, and instrumental.
