Ariana Grande has created a history that no artist or band in the last 55 years could even be bothered with! The artist has managed to become the first artist in the last 55 years to hold the Nos. 1, 2 and 3 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 songs list with the launch of her recent album, 'Thank u, next'. This has been the first time in 55 years since the Beatles in 1964, that any artist or band has been able to achieve such a feat.
Grande's '7 Rings' is dominating the first spot for the fourth consecutive week while 'Break Up With our Girlfriend' and 'I'm Bored' have taken over the second and third spot respectively. All the songs are from the 'Thank u, next' album. Ariana is only the second artist to have received this honour. Previously, The Beatles enjoyed this record for five weeks in March and April 1964 as they claimed the entire top five spot. The songs of the Beatles that got them this achievement were 'Can't Buy Me Love,' 'Twist and Shout' and 'Do You Want to Know a Secret,' respectively.
Before Grande's shot to fame with this record, the second artist who came close to making a record was Drake. Drake came close to the feat as his songs 'Nice for What,' 'Nonstop' and 'God's Plan,' placed at Nos. 1, 2 and 4 respectively.
