Ariana Grande has launched her Petal era with immediate chart dominance. Her new single “hate that i made you love me” debuted at No. 1 on both the Daily Global Spotify Chart and the U.S. Spotify chart, delivering one of the biggest opening days of her career and instantly setting the pace for one of 2026’s most anticipated albums.
Released on May 29 through Grande’s own imprint, BabyDoll Music, under exclusive license to Republic Records, “hate that i made you love me” opened with 8.788 million streams globally on Spotify, while pulling 2.8 million streams in the United States alone. Spotify’s live counter placed the song above 11 million streams within its first day.
The debut gives Grande her first solo Spotify Global No. 1 of 2026 and makes her just the second female artist this year to debut a solo chart-topper on the platform, joining Olivia Rodrigo. Molly Santana also debuted at No. 1 this year through her appearance on Drake’s “Ran To Atlanta,” but Grande’s latest marks a rare solo female-led streaming milestone in a year largely dominated by old songs such as “Beauty and a Beat” and “Billie Jean.”
The opening also lands as the third biggest Spotify debut of Grande’s career. Only “yes, and?” posted a stronger first-day figure with 11.2 million streams, while her remix appearance on The Weeknd’s “Die For Me” narrowly remains ahead at 8.9 million. That places “hate that i made you love me” among the strongest launches in her catalog, especially notable as it arrives ahead of her eighth studio album Petal.
Outside Spotify, the single wasted no time asserting itself commercially, reaching No. 1 on U.S. iTunes on release day. On May 29, Grande was also the seventh most-streamed artist worldwide on Spotify.
Grande co-wrote, composed and produced the track alongside longtime collaborators Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh. In a post shared on Instagram ahead of release, she described it as “one of my favorite songs I’ll ever write,” while calling Martin and Salmanzadeh her “favorite collaborators and dearest human beings in the world.”
