Ariana Grande continues to make waves in the music industry with her latest single, 'We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love),' which has secured the top spot on the Hot 100 chart. This achievement marks Grande's ninth No. 1 hit on the Hot 100, placing her in the ranks of some of the most successful women in pop music history.
Grande's impressive feat ties her with Katy Perry and Beyoncé, both of whom have also achieved nine No. 1 hits on the Hot 100. Notably, Beyoncé recently reached this milestone with her country hit 'Texas Hold ‘Em' from her upcoming album 'Cowboy Carter.'
When it comes to the most Hot 100 No. 1 hits by women, Mariah Carey holds the record with 19 chart-toppers, followed by Rihanna with 14, Madonna with 12, and Whitney Houston and Taylor Swift tied at 11. Taylor Swift, with a new album on the horizon, may soon add to her tally.
Grande's success with 'We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)' is the second No. 1 hit from her album 'Eternal Sunshine,' following the debut of 'Yes, And?' earlier this year. Not only is this Grande's ninth No. 1 hit, but it is also her seventh track to debut in the top spot, surpassing Taylor Swift for the most immediate chart-toppers among women.
With her impressive track record on the Hot 100, Ariana Grande solidifies her status as one of the leading female artists in the music industry, joining the ranks of iconic performers like Mariah Carey, Rihanna, and Madonna.
