Grande has earned her first Billboard #1 entry with her latest single, “Thank You, Next.” The single has garnered 55.5 Million streams, and 81,000 downloads sold. The highest Grande charted previously was at number 2 with “Problem” in 2014. Grande in the first female artist to score a solo number one since Cardi B with “Bodak Yellow” last year, and the first to debut at number 1 since Adele with “Hello.”
