It’s third time lucky for Ariana Grande, who finally achieves her first Official Albums Chart Number 1 with Dangerous Woman.
The album, which features collaborations with Lil Wayne, Macy Gray and Nicki Minaj, reached the top spot just 600 combined chart sales ahead of her nearest rival, Drake's Views.

to everyone unhappy at a deserving artist like ariana getting to the top spot tough. very good lps have been released and not got to the top spot yet dross like drake and beshityonce get there. jean michel jarres electronica scrapped the top 10 and is amazing. the pet shop boys get to 3 and then are gone. dont think quality matters. well done ariana you deserve the top spot.

Formation
Hate much?! Drink Lemonade! :)

Alexander
yeah i only care when i need to sell concert tickets and a cd. she did not care much about people being shot until it helped her marketing of a tour and cd.
F
Formation
If she helped the victim, then you'll say, she did it only for the publicity. You sick stupid haters will find any reason to dislike her!
A
Alexander
and you think a dance number helped. wow you must have weird ways to protest. a dignified protest would have done so much more. but hey im beyonce people got shot great ill do a number to honour them.
F
Formation
What has a dance performance to do with the protest?! If you watch the Formation video, you'll see the message. Not many artist do any political songs. Your fave won't do that!
A
Alexander
your obviously not well so i feel sorry for you. political are you joking. crass conflict jello biafra now they were political. beyonce really. thats funny. take your meds with that lemonade. you need them.
F
Formation
Thanks for the advice! I'll drink the med with lemonade, at least it help. But compared to you, they are still finding a medicine to cure you!
A
Alexander
who says i want a cure. anyway you seem like the after taught of a after taught. so pointless i forgot the point. anyway enjoy your lemonade ill enjoy amazing music instead.

How many copies did Ariana sell?
I Am A Stegosaurus
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.......... The singer who makes me wish I had more middle fingers is at number 1! Sure, I don't care about the album charts as much as the singles charts but I'm still .
MusicStan_1997
Well done Ariana, the entire album is fantastic. Very deserving of the No.1 spot and I'm so glad the UK is finally acknowledging her.
BABY DOLLARD
CYNDI LAUPER : DETOUR should have been in the TOP 10...Hopefully glastonberry ...will make her back into the top 10 like it did for DOLLY PARTON!!
God....knowing grande is number 1...a talentless brat when an icon and a great singer like CYNDI LAUPER didn't even make the top 10!! shame!!

Cyndi Lauper sings on one track on Jean Michel Jarre's Electronica 2 album which made the top 10 two weeks ago if that's any consolation for you.

Ariana Grande is more than likely one of the best female vocalists in this generation. Never mind about anything that she's done or what you say, the girl has pipes compared to most singers today.
Mrs. Brooks
If 'Views' earned more sales-equivalent streams, it means 'Dangerous Woman' sold more traditional copies, so congrats to Ariana for her first number-one album.
