Not Ariana getting two consecutive #1 debut singles

Ari, now go away for a solid year before you become too overexposed....and before you become the face of payola getting two #1’s within a week of each other. Thanks. ❤️ Gaga, please go away for at least 10 years after this

This is awesome. It’s great to see classic pop girls like Gaga still earning #1s.

Is Ariana more influential than Britney, Madonna, Beyonce, Rihanna and Mariah? 

 

Is Ariana Grande the new Femme Fatale? 

[KillersWhoArePartying]

Do we know what song it's gonna be in closest competition with?

[Alex_1991]

I can't believe a song like this will debut at number one. What happened to our dear pop? 

[redacted statement]

Damn, Africana Grande is on a roll.  Goes to show that consistency is key. I mean, we already knew that because of Rihanna and her back-to-back albums, but still... 

[LeglessJamie]

yes please. ROM is her best song she has ever teleased in a while!

[Blackout2006]

Yas!!!

[Barajas]

they deserve this!! 
I am hoping for they to get the #1, Im so tired of only random rap and hiphop songs being on top.

[5HINee]

talent lost I guess 

[IUSM]

Good for both of them, but they have much better tracks in their catalogues that would deserve this #1 spot.

Props to Ariana doing charity work to help struggling artist to achieve a hit, god bless that little girl

Thank you.

Yas! They both deserve it. Ariana is definitely the supreme at the moment. She’s been killing it for the past couple years. She’s not my fave per say, but I do really like her. Gaga knew what she was doing adding her to track. This is one of my favorite songs from each of them! Congrats Queens. I do think Ariana should took a break after this though, she’s released so many collabs and things recently she’s getting dangerously close to overexposure. She should take a little break at least until early 2021.
