Congratulations to REPUBLIC RECORDS' multi-Platinum superstar ARIANA GRANDE, who debuts at #1 on the SOUNDSCAN Albums chart with her fourth studio album, Sweetener. Not only that, the album broke the record for largest streaming week for a Pop album by a female artist. This is the singer’s third album to debut at the top.
Critics have been heaping praise upon the project, with ROLLING STONE giving the album four out of five stars, claiming it as "the best album of her career." THE FADER went on to say, "It’s ARI at the top of her game." COSMOPOLITAN proclaimed she is the "only hope for Pop this year," while V MAGAZINE added to the extensive list of praise that “her light is shining brighter than ever.”
Three previously released music videos for "No Tears Left To Cry" (now officially certified RIAA Platinum), "The Light Is Coming," and "God Is A Woman" were directed by GRAMMY-winning director DAVE MEYER. To date, all three videos combined have now been streamed on VEVO over 640 million times. The current Pop single, "God Is A Woman," is Top 10 on the Mediabase Top 40 Chart and makes its Rhythm Chart debut this week.
