30 for 30: Ariana Grande’s Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits

Ariana Grande may have first come to public attention through the Nickelodeon series Victorious, but the real triumph was her elevation from television teen star to music industry juggernaut like few acts ever achieve. From the jump, Grande emerged as an instant fan favorite: Her debut single, the Mac Miller-assisted“The Way,” debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, while its parent album, 2013’s Yours Truly, opened atop the Billboard 200.

Such feats would become the norm for Grande in the next decade of her glittering career, with 20 top 10s – including seven No. 1s – on the Hot 100, and five of her six studio albums achieving the top spot on the Billboard 200. In that time, too, she’s become a versatile vocalist, finding hits in pop, R&B, dance and holiday fare. Even more, Grande’s range – both literally and sonically – has allowed her to become an in-demand collaborator, teaming with a slew of hitmakers, including Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, Miley Cyrus, Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber, Doja Cat and, of course, finding multiple hit collabs with The Weeknd and Nicki Minaj.

As Grande celebrates her 30th birthday June 26 amid her 10th year on the charts, Billboard counts down the multi-talented singer and actress’ 30 biggest hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart – yuh.

Ariana Grande’s Biggest Billboard Hot 100 hits chart is based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 through June 24, 2023. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted to account for different chart turnover rates over various periods.
