Ariana Grande’s new album Eternal Sunshine made a splash in the music industry last week, debuting at No. 1 on several Billboard charts. The highly-anticipated pop project quickly gained traction among American listeners, helping Grande surpass her own previous records. The album sold 33,000 copies on the Vinyl Albums chart, a significant number for a format that was once considered outdated and irrelevant.
Grande’s success on the Vinyl Albums chart with Eternal Sunshine proved to be a significant achievement, as she topped her own best showing with Positions, which sold 32,000 copies in a single tracking period earlier this year. This latest release marks Grande’s second leader on the Vinyl Albums chart, following her previous album Positions. In 2019, Thank U, Next became her first top 10 entry on the chart, reaching as high as No. 3. Shortly after Positions peaked at No. 1, her live set K Bye For Now (Swt Live) climbed to No. 9.
Despite slipping to third place on the Vinyl Albums chart this week, Eternal Sunshine remains a strong contender on the Billboard 200 chart. The album continues to hold the top spot on the chart, moving another 100,000 equivalent units. Country/Americana singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves secured the No. 1 spot on the Vinyl Albums chart this week with her new release Deeper Well, while Justin Timberlake’s Everything I Thought It Was debuted in the runner-up position. Although Musgraves narrowly missed out on a No. 1 album, Grande maintains her lead on the overall albums ranking in the U.S. with Eternal Sunshine.
Overall, Grande’s latest album Eternal Sunshine has demonstrated her continued popularity and influence in the music industry. The album’s success on the Vinyl Albums chart, as well as its continued dominance on the Billboard 200, solidifies Grande’s position as a top-selling artist. With her ability to consistently deliver chart-topping albums and break records, Grande has proven herself to be a powerful force in the world of pop music. Fans can expect continued success and acclaim from the talented singer as she continues to release new music and connect with audiences worldwide.
