Ariana Grande has been force on Billboard’s charts since making her Billboard Hot 100 debut on April 13, 2013, with “The Way,” featuring Mac Miller. The song debuted at No. 10 and later peaked at No. 9, launching a chart run filled with historic achievements.
Grande has appeared on the Hot 100 in every calendar year since her 2013 arrival and has earned No. 1s in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2026.
The pop superstar made her first major Billboard chart history on Feb. 23, 2019, when she occupied the top three positions on the Hot 100. Grande became the first solo artist — and only the second act overall, after The Beatles — to claim the chart’s top three spots simultaneously.
Grande has added numerous other chart achievements since then. Ahead of her latest release, petal, she scored her 10th No. 1 hit with “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” and, after the album’s chart debut, she surpassed 100 career Hot 100 entries. She joined Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé as the only women in the chart’s history with more than 100 hits.
As Grande continues to reach new chart milestones, here’s a look at the biggest Hot 100 records that she has broken during her career, through the chart dated Aug. 15, 2026.
