ABOUT ARIANA GRANDE:
Within less than a year, Ariana Grande captured #1 on the
Billboard Top 200 twice—first with her debut album
Yours Truly and also with its 2014 follow-up
My Everything.
Yours Truly yielded the game-changing pop smash
"The Way" featuring Mac Miller, which went platinum in Canada, landed in the Top 10 of the
Billboard Hot 100, and seized #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Songs chart. Meanwhile, the platinum-selling
My Everything garnered a Grammy Award nomination for “Best Pop Vocal Album” and spawned the 3X platinum hit
"Problem". Upon the single's release, Ariana became "the youngest woman to debut with over 400K sold first-week," while the song ranked as the 5th “highest digital song debut for a female artist” and 9th highest ever. Moreover, it debuted at #1 in 85 countries, topping the iTunes Overall Top Songs and Pop Songs charts for four weeks. During release week,
My Everything was #1 on Spotify as Ariana personally rose to #1 on
Billboard's Artists 100 chart. She also became the first woman in history and the first artist since Michael Jackson to simultaneously have three songs—"Problem",
"Break Free" featuring Zedd, and
"Bang Bang" with Nicki Minaj and Jessie J—in the Top 6 of the Digital Songs Chart. “Bang Bang” went 3X platinum and was Grammy-nominated for “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.” By the end of the year, she landed four songs in the Top 10 of the
Billboard Hot 100, the most of any artist in 2014. Upon the release of
“Focus” from her upcoming third full-length album, Ariana has enjoyed five Hot 100 Top 10 smashes. She also earned the distinction of becoming the “first artist to debut in the Top 10 of the
Billboard Hot 100 with the lead single from her first three albums.”
In 2013, she was named “Best New Artist” at the
American Music Awards. Other accolades followed with Ariana
winning “Favorite Breakout Artist” at the
People’s Choice Awards 2014, the “Young Influencer Award” at the
iHeartRadio Music Awards, the “Radio Disney Chart Topper Award,” “Choice Female Artist” and “Choice Single” “Problem” at the 2014
Teen Choice Awards, and more. At the 2014
MTV VMAS, “Problem” was named “Best Pop Video” as well. In November, ARIANA took home the award for “Favorite Female Artist – Pop/Rock” at the 2015 American Music Awards.
