Meanwhile, the track also resonated immensely with the Latin audience. The single’s Spanish version climbed to #5 at Latin Radio, showing that she could not only bridge the generational gap but cultural barriers as well. Big Sean slides through “Right There” with a breezy verse, heightening the track’s energy. Meanwhile, the ballad “Almost Is Never Enough” sees Grande and Nathan Sykes of The Wanted trade soaring vocal lines over swooping production. It’s an epic befitting of both the album and The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones soundtrack, where it first debuted. Then, she and multi-platinum international star Mika add their own twist to the Broadway classic “Popular Song.” Moreover, the album showcases a bevy of top-notch writers and producers including the legendary Babyface as well as Harmony Samuels (Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, Fantasia). 

My Everything: Associated Press claimed, “This is how you follow up an impressive debut: simply step into the recording booth and be amazing yet again.” With additional accolades from Rolling Stone and USA Today, among many others, Grande broke streaming records and won numerous awards. Internationally the album quickly reached #1 in Australia, Mexico, Canada, Japan and Top 5 in the UK, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Sweden, Netherlands, Austria, and Switzerland.

Dangerous Woman: The double-LP comes complete with the original gatefold packaging and features the hit songs “Dangerous Woman,” “Be Alright” and “Into You” with guest appearances by Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Macy Gray and Future. Initially released on May 20, 2016, the GRAMMY®-nominated Dangerous Woman solidified Ariana Grande’s superstardom as, Rolling Stone described, one who is “capable of practically anything.” The first vinyl edition appeared in 2016 as a branded retail exclusive. With the critically acclaimed Dangerous Woman, Grande boldly defied expectation and revealed the full force of her voice (hailed as an “extraordinary, versatile, limitless instrument” upon Grande’s appearance on Time‘s “100 Most Influential People” list).

Sweetener:The fourth studio album from Ariana Grande debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart and broke the record for largest streaming week for a pop album by a female artist. Sweetener was met with rave reviews from Rolling Stone, giving the album four out of five stars and claiming it as “the best album of her career.” The Fader went on to say, “It’s Ari at the top of her game” and 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.”
