Ariana Grande is back on top. The pop diva scores her second No. 1 album in less than a year with My Everything.
Led by the hit singles “Problem” and “Break Free,” the album sold 169,000 copies in its first week, according to Billboard. It marks the second-largest sales week for a female pop artist in 2014 following Lana Del Rey’s Ultraviolence (182,000).
My Everything, which features The Weeknd, Iggy Azalea, and A$AP Ferg, also bests the sales of Grande’s 2013 debut Yours Truly, which moved 138,000 units in its first week.
A grateful Grande thanked her fans for their support. “my 2nd album to debut at #1 @billboard in less than a year… no words!!! thank u so much.so much love & appreciation,” she tweeted.
