Ariana Grande’s Thank u, Next debuts at Number 1 on the Official UK Singles Chart; Aiming for Top Spot on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Ariana Grande debuts at Number 1 on this week’s Official Singles Chart with her break-up anthem thank u, next.
The single - released last Saturday night – has amassed an impressive 73,000 combined sales in six days, including 6.7 million streams. It finishes over 26,000 combined sales ahead of its closest competitor, Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper’s Shallow (2).
thank u, next is Grande’s third UK Number 1 single but first ever solo chart-topper. Her previous Number 1s are: Problem ft. Iggy Azalea (2014) and Bang Bang with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj (2014)

Despite being about past relationships, thank u, next has been praised for its positive messages of self-love. Ariana Grande is vying for her first No. 1 on next week's Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated Nov. 17), as her new single "Thank U, Next" could blast in at the summit, following its release late Saturday night (Nov. 3).
According to building Nielsen Music data, "Next," released on Republic Records, should launch with over 50 million U.S. streams, 10 million in airplay audience and 60,000 downloads sold, placing it in line to arrive as the most-streamed and most-sold song of the week.
If "Next" soars in atop the Hot 100, it would dethrone Maroon 5's "Girls Like You," featuring Cardi B, which has led the list for seven weeks running.
