Ariana Grande Sweeps the Top Three Spots on Billboard Hot 100

“thank u, next” doesn’t apply to Ariana Grande.
The 25-year-old pop singer just hit a milestone that hasn’t been achieved since The Beatles: powered by her latest album, Grande swept the No. 1, 2, and 3 spots of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with “7 Rings,” “Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored,” and “thank u, next,” respectively.
In the 60-year existence of the Billboard chart, only two acts achieved this simultaneously: Grande and The Beatles. For five weeks in March and April 1964, the British icons held those spots with “Can’t Buy Me Love” at No. 1, “Twist and Shout” at No. 2, and “Do You Want to Know a Secret” at No. 3.
Drake came close to joining these acts when he placed No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 in July 2018 with “Nice for What,” “Nonstop” and “God’s Plan,” respectively.
