Ariana now joins the list of artists with the most UK Number 1 albums to her name, joining the likes of Celine Dion, Prince and Green Day all with five apiece.
Eternal Sunshine has also topped this week’s Official Vinyl Albums Chart, shifting the most wax copies.
Of the album, Republic Records co-president Wendy Goldstein said in a behind-the-scenes video shared by Ariana on Instagram: ‘Between you [Ariana] and Max [Martin] it’ll just be perfect. The vocals are great.
‘The changes, the tempos, the house music of it, then there’s a little R’n’B. It’s you. It’s like an elevated version of all the albums that came before like ‘Sweetener’ meets kind of a Thank U, Next.’
Ariana thanked fans for trusting her ‘vision and plan’ for hotly anticipated album.
She continued: ‘You have waited so long for new music from me and I am so grateful for your patience!
‘I look forward to savoring every second of this new era with you all and I sincerely cannot wait for it to be yours!
‘It’s going to be (and already is) so special. I am so excited for all that is to come. More than ever. Love you so so so!!! (sic)’
Ariana herself described the record as ‘a concept album’, noting that a lot of the songs are ‘really vulnerable’.
In a previous post on Instagram, she explained how she invited family, friends and members of her team at Republic Records to listen to an advanced preview of the collection.
She said: ‘I’m nervous, but I wanted to share this with you because it’s kind of a concept album.
‘It’s all different, heightened pieces of the same story [and] of the same experience. I’m weirdly emotional but… this is what’s going on.
‘Some of them are really vulnerable, some of them are [me] playing the part that people expect me to be sometimes and having fun with that.’
