About Ariana Grande

Grande's recording career took shape after Republic Records discovered her YouTube covers in 2011. Her debut album Yours Truly in 2013 established the 1950s doo-wop aesthetic that would anchor her early work, hitting number one and introducing her US top-ten single The Way featuring Mac Miller. My Everything followed in 2014 with added EDM production while maintaining the pop-R&B foundation, delivering four US top-ten singles that year. Dangerous Woman in 2016 solidified her commercial consistency as her first of three consecutive UK number-one albums.

The releases of Sweetener and Thank U, Next in 2018 and 2019 marked a shift toward greater personal creative control. Both albums incorporated trap elements while preserving her signature pop-R&B textures and achieved critical acclaim. The latter broke streaming records and made Grande the first solo artist to simultaneously occupy the top three spots on the Billboard Hot 100 when songs like 7 Rings, Break Up with Your Girlfriend I'm Bored, and the album's title track charted together. Positions arrived in 2020 with a deluxe edition featuring collaborations with Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion, while her seventh album eternal sunshine in 2024 took a concept-album approach inspired by the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Grande has sold over 90 million records worldwide and received two Grammy Awards alongside ten VMAs and multiple other accolades. All seven of her studio albums earned RIAA platinum certification. The Groove Hunter tracks 17 editions across her catalog, including pressings of Dangerous Woman, Sweetener, eternal sunshine in its standard and deluxe translucent marble variants, Yours Truly, My Everything, and the Amazon exclusive petal in pavement marble, plus the clear edition of thank u, next.
