LOS ANGELES, CA – JANUARY 26: Ariana Grande attends the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards at Staples Center … [+]
Ariana Grande released her long-awaited comeback album Eternal Sunshine on Friday (March 8) to much fanfare. The superstar’s latest marks perhaps the first major new pop full-length of 2024, and it received the kind of welcome such a title should earn. In its first day of availability, it became a huge win on Spotify, which is evident by looking at the streamer’s daily charts.
On Spotify’s ranking of the most-streamed songs on Friday, Grande dominates. She might not claim the top spot, but her name can be found all over the highest reaches of the list, as millions of Americans pressed play on Eternal Sunshine–with some clearly replaying certain cuts over and over.
Grande’s highest-ranking hit on the daily Spotify chart in the U.S. is “Bye,” which lands at No. 2. The track opens with just under two million plays in only its first 24 hours. It makes sense that the tune is the most-streamed among her new releases, as it is the second song on the album–and the first that’s not an intro.
Next up is “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait For Your Love),” which debuts at No. 3. That song has been chosen as the second official single from Eternal Sunshine, so it also tracks that it would land pretty high on this tally. Halfway into Friday, Grande released a music video to accompany the cut, and it is likely headed for radio very soon.
Grande fills the following two spaces as well, with “The Boy Is Mine” and the album’s title track coming in at Nos. 4 and 5, respectively. She claims four of the rungs inside the top five for herself, but she couldn’t rule the entire tier. Ye West (formerly known as Kanye), along with his collaborators Ty Dolla $ign, Playboi Carti, and Rich the Kid, all remain at No. 1 with “Carnival,” which has been running the show for some time now.
Newcomer Benson Boone’s breakout smash “Beautiful Things” is pushed down to fifth place by Grande’s new wins, and she picks up right after that cut. The pop superstar fills the rest of the lower half of the top 10, all with Eternal Sunshine tunes. “Don’t Wanna Break Up Again,” “Intro (End of the World),” and “Supernatural” start at Nos. 7, 8, and 9, respectively.
Grande closes out the top 10 not with something new, but with the one track she released from the album ahead of its drop. “Yes, And?” served as the lead single from the full-length, and it was a huge hit when it arrived. The track debuted atop the Hot 100, and now it sits at No. 10 on the daily Spotify chart.
Five more tracks from Eternal Sunshine start inside the top 30 on Spotify’s ranking of the most-played songs in the U.S. While it’s clear that there are some titles that the public is loving more than others, even “Ordinary Things,” which is built around a voicemail from her grandmother–credited as Nonna–earned more than one million plays in its first day.
All these streams will surely help make Eternal Sunshine a big success on the Billboard charts. The album will almost certainly open at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. If the songs from the set continue to perform well throughout the next few days, she may score a handful of new Hot 100 placements, and it’s possible that every track from the full-length will appear on that tally.
