As announced by Luminate and published by Billboard this Monday (22), “yes, and?” accumulated 27.2 million streams and 24.8 million radio audience impressions between January 12th and 18th.

Ariana Grande’s songs that had already reached the rank are:

“Positions”;

“Rain On Me” (with Lady Gaga);

“Stuck With U” (with Justin Bieber);

“7 Rings”;

“Thank U Next”.

In addition to these, the singer also has other #1 numbers on the Billboard Hot 100: “Save Your Tears” and “Die For You”, both with The Weeknd. With the eight songs combined, she also equals Beyoncé as the woman with the most chart-topping songs this century.

“yes, and?” marked the North American’s return to the music industry after a three-year hiatus.

The new song is the first from the singer’s seventh album, which should be released in 2024. Ariana Grande’s last release was the album “Positions”, which reached the public in October 2020.

Since then, the voice of “Thank U Next” and “Side To Side” had only appeared in songs by other artists and film soundtracks, such as “Não Olhe Para Cima”.

The lyrics, which feature the singer herself as one of the composers, talk about not caring what others think and feeling comfortable with who you are. “yes, and?” It’s house, with strong influences from Madonna’s “Vogue”, one of the greatest pop music classics.
