Ariana Grande has made a triumphant return to the music scene with her latest single 'Yes, And?,' which has quickly climbed the charts and set records. The single, described as a 'thumping, crimson-lipped kiss-off,' marks Grande's first solo release in three years and has been well-received for staying within her comfort zone while also drawing comparisons to Madonna's 1990 hit 'Vogue.' The 'edit' version of 'Yes, And?' has reached a new peak of #19 (+77) on US iTunes and replaced Grande's own previous #1, making her the first artist to achieve this twice in the year. The song has also achieved significant streaming success, remaining at #1 on Global Spotify for a sixth consecutive day with over 6.41 million streams daily, and charting at #4 and then #5 on US Spotify with 1.43 million and 1.39 million streams respectively. It debuted at #1 on Spotify’s global weekly songs chart with 53.88 million streams, tying as the longest-running #1 hit on the platform for the year, and earning the biggest debut streaming week for a solo song since Miley Cyrus’ 'Flowers.' In the UK, 'Yes, And?' debuted at #2 on the Official UK Singles chart, becoming Grande's 15th top 3 hit and 16th top 5 hit, and her 21st top 10 hit in the country. The single also debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, her eighth #1 hit, tying Taylor Swift for the most #1 debuts among female artists in Hot 100 history with six each. Grande has also set a record as the first artist in history to have lead singles from each of her first seven albums debut in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. Grande now ties with Mariah Carey (19 #1 hits), Rihanna (14 #1 hits), Madonna (12 #1 hits), Whitney Houston (11 #1 hits), Janet Jackson (10 #1 hits), Katy Perry (9 #1 hits), and Beyoncé (8 #1 hits) among solo female artists with the most #1 hits in Hot 100 history.
