Ariana Grande-Butera[note 1] (/ˌɑːriˈɑːnə ˈɡrɑːndeɪ/ AR-ee-AH-nə GRAHN-day; born June 26, 1993) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Her four-octave vocal range has received critical acclaim, and her personal life has been the subject of widespread media attention. She has received numerous accolades throughout her career, including two Grammy Awards, one Brit Award, one Bambi Award, two Billboard Music Awards, three American Music Awards, nine MTV Video Music Awards, and 27 Guinness World Records.

Grande began her music career at age 15 in the 2008 Broadway musical 13. She rose to fame for playing Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon television series Victorious (2010–2013) and Sam & Cat (2013–2014). Grande signed with Republic Records in 2011 after label executives viewed YouTube videos of her covering songs. Her 1950s doo-wop-influenced pop and R&B debut album,[2] Yours Truly (2013), topped the US Billboard 200, while its lead single, "The Way", reached the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100. Grande's voice and whistle register on the album drew immediate comparisons to Mariah Carey.

She continued to explore pop and R&B in her second and third studio albums, My Everything (2014) and Dangerous Woman (2016). My Everything experimented with EDM and achieved global success with its singles "Problem", "Break Free" and "Bang Bang"; Dangerous Woman became her first of four consecutive number-one albums in the UK. Personal struggles influenced her trap-infused fourth and fifth studio albums, Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019), both of which were critical and commercial successes. Sweetener won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album, and Thank U, Next broke the record for the largest streaming week for a pop album and was nominated for Album of the Year. The singles "Thank U, Next", "7 Rings", and "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" made Grande the first solo artist to hold the top three spots on the Hot 100 simultaneously and the first woman to succeed herself at the top of the UK Singles Chart. Her 2020 collaborations "Stuck with U" with Justin Bieber and "Rain on Me" with Lady Gaga helped her break the record for most number-one debuts on the Hot 100, the latter winning the Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Grande's R&B-focused sixth studio album, Positions (2020), and its title track debuted at number-one in the UK and US. In 2021, she had her sixth US number-one single after featuring on the remix of The Weeknd's "Save Your Tears".

Often regarded as a pop icon and triple threat entertainer,[3][4][5] Grande is one of the world's best-selling music artists; she has sold more than 85 million records globally and all of her studio albums have been certified platinum or higher. Among her Billboard chart records, she is the first artist and only woman to have five number-one debuts, to chart three number one-debuts in one calendar year, to debut the lead singles from each of her studio albums in the top ten, and to have their first five number one singles debut at top spot. Grande is the most streamed female artist ever, the most streamed female artist on Spotify (also 2010s decade) and Apple Music, the most followed female artist on Spotify, and the most subscribed female artist on YouTube. She has been included on Time's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world (2016 and 2019) and the Forbes Celebrity 100 (2019–2020). Grande was named Woman of the Year (2018), the greatest pop star of 2019, and the most successful female artist to debut in the 2010s by Billboard. Aside from music, she worked with many charitable organizations and advocates for animal rights, mental health, and gender, racial, and LGBT equality. Grande has a large following on social media; she became the most followed woman on Instagram in 2019, and has over 300 million followers as of 2022. She has also ventured into the cosmetics and fashion industries.

Early life

Ariana Grande-Butera was born on June 26, 1993, in Boca Raton, Florida.[6][7] She is the daughter of Joan Grande, the Brooklyn-born CEO of Hose-McCann Communications, a manufacturer of communications and safety equipment owned by the Grande family since 1964,[8] and Edward Butera, a graphic design firm owner in Boca Raton.[9][10] Grande is of Italian[11] descent and has described herself as an Italian American with Sicilian and Abruzzese roots.[12] She has an older half-brother, Frankie Grande, who is an entertainer and producer,[13][14] and she has a close relationship with her maternal grandmother, Marjorie Grande.[15] Her family moved from New York to Florida before her birth, and her parents separated when she was eight or nine years old.[10]

When her parents were Florida Panthers season ticket holders, she was accidentally hit on each wrist by errant hockey pucks on two different occasions in 1998, sustaining minor bruises both times. The second occurrence happened during the Panthers' inaugural regular-season game at National Car Rental Center on October 9, 1998, in which she was also the first child to ever ride a Zamboni in the brand-new arena during the first intermission, the result of her parents' $200 winning bid at an auction.[16] A photograph of her on the Zamboni was featured in the South Florida SunSentinel the next day.[17] At age 8, she sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Panthers' home game against the Chicago Blackhawks on January 16, 2002.[18]

As a young child, Grande performed with the Fort Lauderdale Children's Theater,[19] playing her first role as the title character in the musical Annie. She also performed in their productions of The Wizard of Oz and Beauty and the Beast.[11][20] At age eight, she performed at a karaoke lounge on a cruise ship and with various orchestras such as South Florida's Philharmonic, Florida Sunshine Pops and Symphonic Orchestras.[21] During this time, she attended the Pine Crest School and later North Broward Preparatory.[22]

Career

2008–2012: Career beginnings and Nickelodeon

By age 13, Grande became serious about pursuing a music career, although she still concentrated on theater.[23] When she first arrived in Los Angeles, California to meet with her managers, she expressed a desire to record an R&B album: "I was like, 'I want to make an R&B album,' They were like 'Um, that's a helluva goal! Who is going to buy a 14-year-old's R&B album?!'"[10] In 2008, Grande was cast as cheerleader Charlotte in the Broadway musical 13.[24][25] When she joined the musical, Grande left North Broward Preparatory School, but continued to be enrolled; the school sent her materials to study with tutors.[26] She also sang various times at the New York City jazz club Birdland.[27]

Grande was cast in the Nickelodeon television show Victorious along with 13 co-star Elizabeth Gillies in 2009.[28] In the sitcom, set at a performing arts high school, she played the "adorably dimwitted" Cat Valentine.[11][28] She had to dye her hair red every other week for the role, which severely damaged her hair.[29] The show premiered in March 2010 to the second-largest audience for a live-action series in Nickelodeon, with 5.7 million viewers.[30][31] The role helped propel Grande to teen idol status, but she was more interested in a music career, saying that acting is "fun, but music has always been first and foremost with me."[32] Her character was compared to "Brittany Murphy's performance as the hapless Tai in Clueless" and described as being "very impressionable and easily swayed" but "generally sweet".[33]

After the first season of Victorious wrapped, Grande wanted to focus on her music career and began working on her debut album in August 2010.[34] To strengthen her vocal range, she began working with vocal coach Eric Vetro.[35] The second season premiered in April 2011 to 6.2 million viewers, becoming the show's highest-rated episode.[36] In May 2011, Grande appeared in Greyson Chance's video for the song "Unfriend You" from his album Hold On 'til the Night (2011), portraying his ex-girlfriend. She made her first musical appearance on the track "Give It Up" from the Victorious soundtrack in August 2011. While filming Victorious, Grande made several recordings of herself singing covers of songs by Adele, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, and uploaded them to YouTube.[37] A friend of Monte Lipman, chief executive officer (CEO) of Republic Records, came across one of the videos. Impressed by her vocals, he sent the links to Lipman, who signed her to a recording contract.[10] Grande voiced the title role in the English dub of the Spanish-language animated film Snowflake, the White Gorilla in November 2011.[38][39] From 2011 to 2013, she voiced the fairy Princess Diaspro in the Nickelodeon revival of Winx Club.[40]

In December 2011, Grande released her first single, "Put Your Hearts Up", which was recorded for a potential teen-oriented pop album that was never issued.[41] She later disowned the track for its bubblegum pop sound, saying she had no interest in recording music of that genre.[41] The song was later certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[42] On a second soundtrack, Victorious 2.0, released on June 5, 2012, as an extended play, she supplied vocals as part of the show's cast for the song "5 Fingaz to the Face".[43] The third and final soundtrack, Victorious 3.0, was released on November 6, 2012, which featured a duet by Grande and Victoria Justice titled "L.A. Boyz", with an accompanying music video being released shortly after.[44] In December 2012, Grande collaborated on the single version of "Popular Song", a duet with British singer and songwriter Mika.[45]

After four seasons, Victorious was not renewed,[46] with the finale airing in February 2013. Grande starred as Snow White in the pantomime-style musical theatre production A Snow White Christmas with Charlene Tilton and Neil Patrick Harris at the Pasadena Playhouse.[47] She played Amanda Benson in Swindle, a 2013 Nickelodeon film adaptation of the children's book of the same name.[39][48] Meanwhile, Nickelodeon created Sam & Cat, an iCarly and Victorious spin-off starring Jennette McCurdy and Grande.[49] Grande and McCurdy reprised their roles as Cat Valentine and Sam Puckett on the buddy sitcom, which paired the characters as roommates who form an after-school babysitting business.[50] The pilot aired on June 8, 2013, and the network immediately picked up the show.[51] The next month, Nickelodeon doubled Sam & Cat's original 20-episode order for season one, making it a 40-episode season.[52] Despite its success in the ratings, the series was canceled after 35 episodes.[53] The final episode aired on July 17, 2014.[54]

Grande's music is generally pop and R&B with elements of EDM, hip hop,[241][242][243][244] and trap,[245][246][247] the latter first appearing prominently on her Christmas & Chill extended play. While consistently maintaining pop-R&B tones, she has increased incorporation of trap into her music as her career has progressed,[248] thanks to her work with record producer Tommy Brown.[249] She has collaborated with Brown on every album thus far and stated that "one of the things I love most about working with Tommy is that none of the beats he plays me ever sound the same."[250] Grande learned how to sound engineer and produce her own vocals because she "love[s] being hands on" with every project, revealing that Mac Miller taught her how to use the digital audio workstation Pro Tools.[251] Collaborator Justin Tranter remarked that he felt inspired seeing how involved Grande is in creating her music "from the writing to the vision to the storytelling and to even engineering and comping her own vocals."[252] She has co-written songs addressing a wide variety of themes, such as love, sex, wealth, breakups, independence, empowerment, self-love and moving on from the past.[253]

Grande's debut album Yours Truly was complimented for recreating the R&B "vibe and feel of the 90s" with the help of songwriter and producer Babyface.[254] Her follow-up record, My Everything, was described as an evolution to a new sound exploring EDM and electropop genres.[255] Grande expanded the pop and R&B sound on her third album, Dangerous Woman, which was praised by the Los Angeles Times for integrating elements of different styles, including reggae-pop ("Side to Side"), dance-pop ("Be Alright"), and guitar-trap fusion ("Sometimes").[256] Trap-pop is more heavily featured on her fourth and fifth studio albums, Sweetener and Thank U, Next.[248] On Sweetener, Elias Leight of Rolling Stone opines that Grande "set her sights on conquering trap, savage basslines and jittery swarms of drum programming" and "embraces the sound of hard-bitten Southern hip-hop", exploring funk music with themes of love and prosperity.[257][258] Craig Jenkins of Vulture noted that Grande changed her musical style to trap and hip hop with undertones of R&B on Thank U, Next,[259] with lyrics about breakups, empowerment, and self-love.[258] Her sixth album, Positions, further explores the R&B and trap-pop sound of Sweetener and Thank U, Next, with lyrics discussing sex and romance.[260][261]

Influences

Grande credits Mariah Carey (left) and Whitney Houston (right) as her major vocal influences

Grande grew up listening mainly to urban pop and 1990s music.[242] She credited Gloria Estefan with inspiring her to pursue a music career, after Estefan saw and complimented Grande's performance on a cruise ship when she was eight years old.[262] Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston are her biggest vocal influences: "I love Mariah Carey. She is literally my favorite human being on the planet. And of course Whitney [Houston] as well. As far as vocal influences go, Whitney and Mariah pretty much cover it."[263][264] Alongside Carey and Houston, Grande's other key influences include Destiny's Child, Beyoncé,[265] Celine Dion and Madonna.[266] She reflects on her childhood by posting videos of herself singing songs from Dion's 1997 album Let's Talk About Love on her social media.[267] Grande credits Madonna for "pav[ing] the way for me and also every other female artist" and admitted to being "obsessed with her entire discography".[268][269]

Grande praised Imogen Heap's "intricate" song structure. she has named Judy Garland as a childhood influence, admiring her ability to tell "a story when she sings";[258] and says that "Over the Rainbow" was one of the first songs she remembers singing because "Wizard Of Oz was always my favorite movie when I was younger."[263] Music producer and Grande collaborator Savan Kotecha has stated in multiple interviews that him and Grande were influenced by Lauryn Hill, when creating her fourth album Sweetener, as well as the song "No Tears Left to Cry".[270] Kotecha told Variety "we were listening to Lauryn Hill about chord changes and why we stick to four chords all the time".[271]

Musically, Grande admires India.Arie because her "music makes me feel like everything is going to be okay" and loves Brandy's songs because "her riffs are incredibly on point."[258] She has also expressed admiration for rappers who impact the music industry without a planned release date, telling Billboard, "My dream has always been to be—obviously not a rapper, but, like, to put out music in the way that a rapper does. I feel like there are certain standards that pop women are held to that men aren't. ... It's just like, 'Bruh, I just want to ... drop [music] the way these boys do."[245] It inspired her to release "Thank U, Next" without any prior announcement, which The Ringer called "more of a Drake move than an Ariana Grande move."[272]

Voice

Grande is a light lyric soprano,[273][274][275][276] possessing a four-octave vocal range[11][277] and a whistle register.[278] With the release of Yours Truly, critics compared Grande to Mariah Carey because of her wide vocal range, sound and musical material.[279][280] Julianne Escobedo Shepherd of Billboard wrote that both Carey and Grande have "the talent to let their vocals do the talking ... that's not where the similarities end. ... Grande is subverting it with cute, comfortable, and on-trend dresses with a feminine slant."[281] Grande responded to the comparisons, "[I]t's a huge compliment, but when you hear my entire album, you'll see that Mariah's sound is much different than mine."[265] Steven J. Horowitz of Billboard wrote in 2014, "With her sophomore album, the 'Problem' singer no longer resembles [Carey]—and that's okay."[280]

Mark Savage of BBC News commented, "Grande is one of pop's most intriguing and gifted singers. A magnetic performer with unrivalled vocal control".[11] In The New York Times, Jon Pareles wrote that Grande's voice "can be silky, breathy or cutting, swooping through long melismas or jabbing out short R&B phrases; it's always supple and airborne, never forced."[282] Composer and playwright Jason Robert Brown addressed Grande in a 2016 Time magazine article: "[N]o matter how much you are underestimated ... you are going to open your mouth and that unbelievable sound is going to come out. That extraordinary, versatile, limitless instrument that allows you to shut down every objection and every obstacle."[283]

Public image

Grande cited Audrey Hepburn as a major style influence in her early years of fame, but began to find emulating Hepburn's style "a little boring" as her career has progressed.[284][285] She also drew inspiration from actresses of the 1950s and 1960s, such as Ann-Margret, Nancy Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe.[285] Grande's modest look early in her career was described as "age appropriate" in comparison to contemporary artists who grew up in the public eye.[281] Jim Farber of the New York Daily News wrote in 2014 that Grande received less attention "for how little she wears or how graphically she moves than for how she sings."[286] That year, she abandoned her earlier style and began wearing short skirts and crop tops with knee-high boots in live performances and red carpet events.[287] She also began regularly wearing cat and bunny ears.[288][289] In recent years, she began wearing oversized jackets and hoodies.[290][291] Grande's style is often imitated by social media influencers and celebrities.[292][293][294][295][296][297][298] After years of dyeing her hair red for the role of Cat Valentine, Grande wore extensions as her hair recovered from the damage.[151][299] Anne T. Donahue of MTV News noted that her "iconic" high ponytail has received more attention than her fashion choices.[300]

Although Grande drew criticism for alleged impolite interactions with reporters and fans in 2014,[301] she dismissed the reports as "weird, inaccurate depictions".[302] Rolling Stone wrote: "Some may cry 'diva', but it's also Grande just taking a stand to not allow others to control her image."[303] In July 2015, Grande sparked controversy after being seen on surveillance video in a doughnut shop licking doughnuts that were on display and saying "I hate Americans. I hate America. This is disgusting", referring to a tray of doughnuts.[304] She subsequently apologized, saying that she is "EXTREMELY proud to be an American" and that her comments rather referred to obesity in the United States.[305] She later released a video apology for "behaving poorly".[306] The incident was parodied by The Muppets[307] and featured in Miley Cyrus's Saturday Night Live cover of "My Way", about the regrets of the summer of 2015.[308] Grande herself poked fun at the incident while hosting Saturday Night Live in 2016, saying, "A lot of kid stars end up doing drugs, or in jail, or pregnant, or get caught licking a doughnut they didn't pay for."[11][309] In 2020, she said that she stopped doing interviews for a while out of fear that her words would be misconstrued and she would be labeled a "diva".[310]

Her nutritionist, Harley Pasternak, told the magazine Glamour that Grande is vegan but that he has got her to "feel OK about indulging and celebrating sometimes".[443]

Grande developed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety after the Manchester Arena bombing; she nearly pulled out of her performance in the 2018 broadcast A Very Wicked Halloween due to anxiety.[444] Grande has also said she has been in therapy for over a decade, having first seen a mental health professional shortly after her parents' divorce.[445]

Beliefs

Grande was raised Roman Catholic, but left the church during the pontificate of Benedict XVI,[446] opposing its stance on homosexuality[9] and noting that her half-brother Frankie is gay.[447] She has said that she and Frankie have followed the teachings of Kabbalah, a branch of Jewish mysticism, since she was 12.[447] She said that they believe "the basis lies in the idea that if you're kind to others, good things will happen to you".[448] Several of her songs, such as "Break Your Heart Right Back", are supportive of LGBT rights.[449] She has also been labeled "an advocate for a sex-positive attitude".[450]

In November 2019, Grande endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders' second presidential bid.[451]

Relationships

Grande met actor Graham Phillips in the cast of the Broadway musical 13 in 2008 and dated him until 2011.[452][453] She dated English singer Nathan Sykes between August and December 2013,[454] and then dated rapper Big Sean from October 2014 to April 2015.[455]

After recording "The Way" with Mac Miller in 2012, the two began dating in 2016.[456][457][458] They collaborated on the single "My Favorite Part", released in September 2016 on Miller's album The Divine Feminine (2016).[459] Their relationship ended by May 2018.[460] That September, Miller died from an accidental drug overdose; Grande expressed grief over his death on social media and called him her "dearest friend".[461]

In May 2018, Grande began dating actor and comedian Pete Davidson, and they became engaged the next month.[462] They called off their engagement and ended the relationship in October 2018.[463]

Grande began dating real estate agent Dalton Gomez in January 2020.[464] Their relationship, while mostly private, was made public in the music video of her and Justin Bieber's charity single "Stuck With U".[465] Grande announced their engagement on December 20, 2020, after 11 months of dating.[466] On May 15, 2021, they married in a private ceremony at her home in Montecito, California, where she wore a custom Vera Wang dress.[467] Her wedding pictures became among the most-liked Instagram posts, with over 25 million likes.[468][469]

Notes

1. ^ Grande pronounces her surname as the Italian word grande; she explained in a radio interview on Beats One that the Americanized pronunciation "grand-ee" was used by her grandfather. When asked if the public should be pronouncing her name that way, she said she only uses it for her grandfather.[1]
2. ^ Kylie Jenner surpassed Grande in 2021.

"7 Rings" (stylized in all lowercase) is a song by American singer Ariana Grande, from her fifth studio album Thank U, Next. It was released as the album's second single on January 18, 2019, through Republic Records.[1] The song was written by Grande, Victoria Monét, Tayla Parx, Njomza Vitia and Kaydence, alongside its producers Tommy Brown, Charles Anderson and Michael Foster. The song features Grande singing an interpolation of "My Favorite Things" by Rodgers and Hammerstein and rapping the hook and final verse over a trap beat.[2]

"7 Rings" debuted at number-one on the US Billboard Hot 100, earning Grande her second number one single (and second number one debut). It spent eight non-consecutive weeks atop the chart, and 33 weeks overall. "7 Rings" was ranked in Billboard's decade-end chart of its best-performing tracks throughout the 2010s decade. It broke several streams records upon release, and reached massive commercial success overseas; topping charts in 23 countries including Australia, Finland, Hungary, New Zealand, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States; as well as reaching the top ten in 10 countries. "7 Rings" was the fifth best-selling song for 2019 worldwide, with over 13.3 million units, and is one of the best-selling songs in digital history.

"7 Rings" was met with mixed to positive reviews from music critics. It received nominations for Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, and was included in Billboard's year-end best-songs list of 2019. Its accompanying music video, directed by Hannah Lux Davis, received critical acclaim and won Best Art Direction at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards. A remix of the song, featuring American rapper 2 Chainz, was released on February 1, 2019.

Background and release

A few weeks prior to the track's release, Republic Records contacted Imagem/Concord Music, who owns the Rodgers & Hammerstein publishing rights, and agreed to give them 90 percent of the song's songwriting royalties, in order to acquire the rights to release the song.[3][4] Grande first teased the track in the music video for "Thank U, Next", in which the first few seconds of the instrumental are used in the opening sequence, and the license plate of the car she drives reads "7 RINGS".[5] The day after the video was released, Grande confirmed the existence of "7 Rings" and revealed the moment that inspired it on Twitter.[6]

The singer described the song as "a friendship anthem", later posting the single's artwork on Instagram along with its release date, January 18.[7]

Composition and lyrics

"7 Rings" is a trap, R&B and rap song that runs for 3 mins.[8][9][10][11] It features a heavy bass[12] and sees Grande discuss "how global success has allowed her to enjoy the finer things".[13] Billboard magazine noted it's "the most hip-hop-leaning song Grande has released in the post-Sweetener era yet, with Grande almost rapping the song's verses".[12]

The song channels the melody of The Sound of Music's "My Favorite Things" in the verses: "Breakfast at Tiffany's/And bottles of bubbles/Girls with tattoos who like getting in trouble/Lashes and diamonds, ATM machines/Buy myself all of my favorite things".[14] The song also interpolates The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Gimme the Loot" in the bridge.[15] Grande and her team agreed to sign away 90% of the track's songwriting royalties at the request of the Concord music company.[16]

Grande described the song as a "friendship anthem" that "evolves" from previous single "Thank U, Next", while embracing a new chapter.[7] She opens up about how her break-up with Pete Davidson led her to "treating her friends instead".[13]

"7 Rings" is written in the key of C# minor in common time with a tempo of 140 beats per minute. The song contains rapping segments however in the singing parts, Grande's vocals spans from G♯3 to E5.[17]

Critical reception

The song received mixed to positive reviews. Rolling Stone's Brittany Spanos review of "7 Rings" was positive, calling it "dangerously fun, and as deliriously intoxicating as the champagne at Tiffany’s with all your best bitches."[18] Markos Papadatos from Digital Journal praised Grande's vocals as "smooth and crystalline with a retro vibe to it" and said Grande has shown "consistency with the radio singles that she has put out, and each song stands out from a sonic and lyrical standpoint. "7 rings" is no different."[19] Jamieson Cox from Pitchfork was mixed in her review and said the song "[is] a letdown given all of the hype. This is The Sound of Music's 'My Favorite Things' as flipped by Regina George, and its sneering tone is a far cry from Sweetener's benevolence..."[20] The Atlantic's editor, Spencer Kornhaber, criticized the song, writing:

[the single] is raising hackles because it regresses to a more cartoonish, and imitative, use of black music than she's done before (not to mention the video's evocation of Japanese kawaii). She's wearing the culture as a costume—or even as a joke—not unlike white frat guys putting on fake grills for a "ratchet" party.[11]

Year-end list

Accolades

Commercial performance

With "7 Rings", Grande joined Mariah Carey (3) and Britney Spears (2) as the only female artists to have two or more number-one debuts on the Billboard Hot 100. She passed Spears with the release of her 2020 single "Stuck with U", and subsequently passed Carey with the release of "Rain on Me" and "Positions".

"7 Rings" earned over 12.2 million plays in its first 24 hours on Spotify, breaking the platform's all-time counter record.[31] However, only 8.5 million of these counted towards Spotify's Top 200 chart dated January 18, 2019.[32] The song also broke the Spotify weekly record with over 70 million streams in its first week on the platform.

In the United States, "7 Rings" debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 issue dated February 2, 2019, becoming Grande's second number-one single, following "Thank U, Next", and the 33rd song to do so.[33] With this, Grande joined Carey (3) and Britney Spears (2) as the only female artists with multiple number-one debuts; and at the time she was overall the fifth artist after Justin Bieber and Drake. She later broke the overall record with the number one debuts of "Stuck with U" and "Rain on Me".[34] Grande also became the first artist to have their first two number-ones debut at the top spot. Among component charts, "7 Rings" debuted at the top of the Streaming Songs chart with 85.3 million US streams in the week ending January 24, 2019, according to Nielsen Music; the sum marked the second-biggest streaming week ever for a song by a female artist (after the aforementioned "Thank U, Next"). It also debuted at number one on the Digital Songs chart with 96,000 downloads.[35] As the second single to her fifth album Thank U, Next, Grande had two singles that debuted at number one on the chart, making Grande the third artist in history to have an album with two songs that debuted at number one on the Hot 100, after Drake's Scorpion in 2018 and Mariah Carey's Daydream in 1995.[36] "7 Rings" held the top spot for a fourth week following the release of her album Thank U, Next, blocking her singles "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" (which debuted at number two), and "Thank U, Next" (which rose up to number three). With three songs in the top 3, Grande became the first artist in history since The Beatles in 1964 to occupy the top 3 spots on the chart and the first and only solo artist to ever achieve this record.[37] "7 Rings" remained atop the Hot 100 for eight non-consecutive weeks until it was unseated by "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X and descended to number three on April 13, 2019. It remained in the top ten for its first 16 weeks until it fell to number 11 on May 25, 2019.

In the UK, "7 Rings" became Grande's fourth number one in the country. The single sold 126,000 units, becoming Grande's biggest opening week. It also set the record for the most streams of a song in a week with 16.9 million streams.[38] On the issue dated 21 February 2019, "7 Rings" was replaced by "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored", making Grande the second female artist to occupy the top two positions on the UK Singles Chart and the first female artist to self-replace on the top of the chart. The song reclaimed the summit position the following week, pushing "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" down to number two, and thus making Grande the first artist in the chart's history to self-replace for two consecutive weeks.[39] As of March 2021, "7 Rings" is Grande's third most-streamed song in the United Kingdom and overall 18th most-streamed song by a female artist in the country.[40]

In Australia, the song debuted at number one, becoming Grande's 3rd number one single.[41]

Music video

Background and reception

Grande shared a preview of the music video on January 14, 2019.[42] The video itself premiered on January 18, 2019, on Grande's YouTube channel. The video features many of Grande's close friends, with whom a shopping trip inspired the song.[43]

The music video was directed by Hannah Lux Davis, who also directed the music videos for Grande's previous singles, "Breathin" and "Thank U, Next".[44]

Billboard magazine called the pink-colored video "sassy", as Grande and her friends flash their diamond rings at a luxurious party in a "mansion that's decked with diamonds, graffiti, and a champagne tower".[12] Digital Journal gave it an A rating, calling it "distinct and remarkable. It is creative and artistic and it will resonate with her fans."[19] The "7 Rings" music video earned 23.6 million views in its first 24 hours.[45] On June 1, 2021, it surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube. It has also exceeded 1.7 billion streams on Spotify.

The video begins outside a house with many women posing on cars and caressing each other. Next, the title appears, reading out "7 Rings" (and written in Japanese as "七つの指輪").[46][47][48] The song then begins with Grande outside showing a far shot showing Grande and many other women, which then transitions to Grande in the kitchen with added pink LED lights around her. She is shown wearing jewellery around her neck, ears and some on her hair. She also sports pink hair extensions. The scene then moves to a party that shows Grande and backup dancers dancing, and drinking wine.[49] Afterwards, the next scene depicts Grande in front of a tower of plastic-glass cups that are all filled with water. The scene after shows Grande pouring a wine bottle over them and also showing Grande's real life friends including Alexa Luria and singer/songwriter Victoria Monét (who also contributed songwriting to the track).[50] The next scene then shows Grande laying down on the staircase with Rapunzel-inspired ponytail, also signifying her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson's apartment.[51] While also still showing scenes earlier in the video, a scene also shows Grande pouring a wine bottle over the tower of cups which end up falling down. The next scene involves a Barbie-inspired house showing Grande in a pink latex outfit (similar to Dangerous Woman). It then shows Grande ripping the wallpaper giving availability for her to peek inside. The final change is of Grande in a room with green lights giving resemblance to Wicked. The final scenes are of Grande outside with all her friends and backup dancers including her dog Toulouse. In conclusion it shows Grande saying "My bitches right here" which leads to the ending of the music video.[52]

Controversies

Grande was accused by American rapper Princess Nokia for plagiarism of her song "Mine".[53][54][55] American rappers Soulja Boy and 2 Chainz also accused Grande of plagiarizing their respective songs "Pretty Boy Swag" and "Spend It".[56] However, after severe backlash from fans, Princess Nokia deleted the video accusing Grande around the same time the remix with 2 Chainz was released.[54][55] Grande would later appear on the track "Rule the World" from 2 Chainz's fifth studio album Rap or Go to the League (2019).[57]

Grande was subject to criticism and some ridicule after getting a tattoo commemorative of the song which read 「七輪」(Shichirin) in Japanese. While the kanji that comprise the word literally translate to "seven" and "ring" respectively, shichirin commonly refers to a specific type of small barbecue grill or brazier. A later attempt to fix the tattoo by the addition of the character yubi (指, lit. "Finger") beneath 「七」, to give 「七指輪」Shichi yubiwa (yubiwa meaning "ring", as in the piece of jewelry) only drew further criticism.[58]
