Ariana Grande back to back on the UK charts

-

Ariana Grande has set records tumbling as she has replaced herself back to back on the UK singles chart with ‘7 Rings’, the song that was her No: 1 a fortnight ago. Her last No: 1 song ‘Breakup With Your Girlfriend, I’m Tired’ was relegated to the No: 2 spot, holding the plum spot for a solitary week. Also ‘7 Rings’ has become the UK’s No: 1 song for a third time. In total the song has occupied the top spot for four non consecutiv­e weeks. All this has taken place within days of the 25 year old winning the Best Internatio­nal Female Solo Artist Award at the BRITS last week. Further across the Atlantic in her own country, Ariana is dominating the top 3 positions on the US Hot 100 Singles chart with ‘7 Rings’ at No: 1, ‘Break Up...’ at No: 2 and ‘thank U, next’ at No:3. The Beatles were last act to dominate the top 3 spots on the same chart back in 1962 with ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ No:1, ‘Twist And Shout’ No: 2 and ‘She Loves You’ at No: 3.
