Ariana Grande

 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", while Dangerous Woman became her first of four consecutive top-five albums in the UK. Her personal struggles influenced the trap-infused fourth (2018) and fifth (2019) studio albums, Sweetener (2018), which were both commercial and critical success. Sweetener won the Grammy Award as Best Pop Vocal Album. Thank U, Next set the record for largest streaming week for an album of pop music. It also was nominated to be the Album of the Year. The songs "Thank U, Next", "7 Rings", and "Break up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" made Grande the first solo artist to be in the top three positions on the Hot 100 simultaneously and the first female artist to make it at the top of the UK Singles Chart. Grande broke the Hot 100 record for the highest number-one debuts by debuting Justin Bieber's 2020 collaboration "Stuck with U" with Lady Gaga, while "Rain on Me" featuring Lady Gaga won the Grammy Award for the best Pop duo or group performance. Grande's sixth studio album, Positions 2020 (R&B-focused) was released at the top of the charts both in the UK and the US. The album's title track also became a huge hit. In 2021, she scored her sixth US top-seller after appearing in the remix to The Weeknd's "Save Your Tears".
