Pop Queen Ariana Grande's smash hit "thank u, next" has reached the very top of Billboard's Pop Songs Chart.
Not Grande's first song to rise to the top, "thank u, next" joins her other singles, "Problem (feat. Iggy Azalea)," "Side To Side (feat. Nicki Minaj), "No Tears Left To Cry," and "God Is a Woman" that have each spent at least one week on the No. 1 spot on the chart.
Meanwhile, her latest single "7 Rings" debuts at No. 30 on the same chart, and having garnered nearly 15 million streams on Spotify, the song has also set the all-time record for most streams within the first 24 hours of release, beating the previous record-holder by 4 million.
The singer has recently faced heavy backlash for appropriating black culture in the lyrics and music video of "7 Rings," with many accusing her of stealing the song's beat from Soulja Boy's 2010 hit song, "Pretty Boy Swag."
