With *petal* generating a top-ranking single, Grande becomes the first artist in Pop Airplay history to secure at least one No. 1 song from seven consecutive studio albums. Her historic run began back in 2014 with *My Everything* and has continued uninterrupted through her latest project. That exclusive run stands completely unmatched across the chart's 35-year lifespan. The Pop Airplay rankings measure weekly spins across nearly 150 top 40 radio stations tracked by Mediabase, with data compiled by Luminate.

Currently, only two music superstars hold more Pop Airplay chart-toppers than Grande.
