Ariana Grande has reached another historic milestone on the Billboard Hot 100. Powered by the blockbuster debut of her new album, petal, the pop superstar has officially surpassed 100 career entries on the chart while placing every song from the project inside this week’s Top 40.
The August 16-dated Billboard Hot 100 sees all 12 tracks from petal make the chart, led by former No. 1 single “hate that i made you love me,” which rebounds from No. 8 to No. 2. The album’s title track enters at No. 4, earning Ariana Grande her 24th career top-10 hit, while the remaining songs complete a remarkable sweep across the chart.
Among the album cuts, “kiss me” debuts at No. 21, followed by “stay” at No. 22, “oh well” at No. 23, “like i do” at No. 24, “big feelings” at No. 27, “freak” at No. 32, “never get over me” at No. 33, “bad thing (bunny hop)” at No. 36, “warning signs (interlude)” at No. 38 and “nowhere, nobody” at No. 39. The achievement marks the first time every track from one of Grande’s albums has simultaneously landed inside the Hot 100’s Top 40.
With 11 new debuts this week, Grande expands her career total from 99 to 110 Billboard Hot 100 entries. She becomes only the 23rd artist in the chart’s history to reach the 100-hit milestone and just the fourth female artist ever to accomplish the feat, joining Taylor Swift (277 entries), Nicki Minaj (149) and Beyoncé (107).
Notably, across her 110 career Hot 100 entries, Ariana Grande has now earned 64 Top 40 hits, 24 Top 10 singles and 10 No. 1 songs.
The Hot 100 milestone arrives only hours after petal debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 295,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States. The opening gave Ariana Grande her seventh chart-topping album, her biggest debut of the 2020s and her strongest sales week in more than a decade. The project also tied her with Lady Gaga and Janet Jackson for the fifth-most Billboard 200 No. 1 albums among solo women.
Commercially, petal has delivered across every major metric. The album opened with more than 249 million global Spotify streams during its first week after recording over 62 million streams on release day, while lead single “hate that i made you love me” and the title track both reached No. 1 on Spotify’s Daily Global chart during the rollout.
