Grande's team is framing this as a celebration of her unprecedented chart dominance—10 Hot 100 No. 1s is no small feat, and the timing with her Eternal Sunshine tour keeps her momentum blazing into summer.
Stans are already clashing in the comments over whether 'Thank U, Next' deserves GOAT status or if newer cuts like 'We Can't Be Friends' should take it. Meanwhile, that upcoming Petal album drop is looming and fans are hungry for new material beyond tour staples.
Grande turned 33 on June 26, 2026. She has accumulated exactly 10 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits across her career. Her latest solo chart-topper 'Hate That I Made You Love Me' reached the summit in June 2026 ahead of her eighth studio album Petal.
With a decade of dominance and an upcoming album on deck, Ariana's chart legacy is far from finished—but fans are already making their cases for which era deserves eternal glory.
Ariana Grande is saying thank u, next to another trip around the sun, and Billboard wants YOU to weigh in on her most iconic achievement. The pop powerhouse turned 33 on Friday (June 26), and in true celebration fashion, the music bible dropped a poll asking fans to crown her greatest Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit. The timing couldn't be more perfect—or busier.
Grande is deep in the middle of a summerlong tour supporting her 2024 album Eternal Sunshine, which topped the Billboard 200 upon release. Each night, concertgoers have been treated to a career-spanning setlist that pulls from nearly every era of her discography. But here's where it gets spicy: while she's serving classics like "7 Rings," "Thank U, Next" and "Positions," fans are realizing these iconic tracks represent just over half of her total Hot 100 chart-toppers.
Let's break down the sheer dominance, because this is a lot to process. Grande has accumulated 10 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits across her career—a number that places her in rarefied air among pop's all-time greats. Her solo smashes include "Yes, And?" and "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" from Eternal Sunshine, plus the aforementioned fan favorites.
But she's also stacked an impressive four collaborations at No. 1: Justin Bieber duet "Stuck With U," her Lady Gaga team-up "Rain on Me," and two tracks with The Weeknd—"Save Your Tears" and "Die for You." And just when you think the legacy can't get any stronger, she keeps adding to it. On tour, Grande has been performing "Hate That I Made You Love Me," which topped the Hot 100 earlier in June 2026 as the lead single from her upcoming eighth studio album Petal.
That's right—another No. 1, another era incoming. So which one deserves the crown? Billboard's poll is open, and the discourse is already heating up across social media.
Is it the emotional gut-punch of "Thank U, Next"? The unapologetic flex of "7 Rings"? Or does her most recent chart-topper from Petal deserve consideration before fans even hear the full album?
Cast your vote—but fair warning, this debate might outlive the birthday candles. With Eternal Sunshine still touring strong and Petal waiting in the wings, Ariana Grande's chart reign shows zero signs of slowing down. Ten No. 1s at 33? That's not just a career—that's a legacy in progress.
