She wanted it, she got it! Ariana Grande lands straight in at Number 1 on this week’s Official Singles Chart with 7 Rings.
Grande’s latest release from her forthcoming album thank u, next (released Feb. 8) posts an opening week combined sales figure of 126,000, split between 15,000 downloads and 16.9 million streams, setting a new UK chart record for the most streams of a song in a week.
7 Rings is also Ariana’s biggest opening week for a single in the UK, surpassing 2014’s Problem, which tallied 113,000 combined sales in its first week.
It’s also the first single to achieve over 100,000 combined sales in a week since June 2017, when Artists For Grenfell’s Bridge Over Troubled Water landed at Number 1 with a week 1 figure of 170,000.
7 Rings is Grande’s fourth single to reach Number 1 in the UK, following Problem ft. Iggy Azalea (2014), Bang Bang with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj (2014) and thank u, next (2018). Look at Ariana's complete UK chart history here.

The star outperforms her closest competitor this week by almost double, with Ava Max’s Sweet But Psycho dropping a place to 2, while Sam Smith & Normani’s Dancing With A Stranger hops up one place to 3.
Calvin Harris nets his 22nd Top 5 single as Giants ft. Rag’n’Bone Man lifts two places to Number 5, and a new remix of Gun Lean from Russ featuring Taze, LD, Digga D, Ms Banks & Lethal Bizzle sees the track rocket 25 places to Number 9.
London singer Mabel narrowly misses out on the Top 10 but makes a strong debut nonetheless at 11 with Don’t Call Me Up, Hackney collective NSG hit a new peak with Options, up two to 12, and Someone You Loved by rising star Lewis Capaldi is shaping up to be his big breakthrough hit, zooming 16 places to 13.
Rounding off this week’s new entries is London rapper AJ Tracey, who takes out his third Top 40 appearance with Psych Out at 27.

Record with 15.000 downloads !

As far as I 'm concerned that's a pathetic amount for a record and I've heard it on Graham Norton today and I found it rather boring as it doesn't really get going.. How many weeks at the top? Will this dare to break Bryan Adams 27 year old record? The only artists that could stop it are not around chartwise...namely Adele,Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber.

really awful song... by the way justin & rihanna are on the way but i think rihanna's chart power will decrease because she passed 30 years old

Streaming should be banned. Gives younger artists a false impression of their importance both in chart success and sales.

Congrats to Ariana. So does this streaming include both the audio and music video streams? Not all songs debut with an official music video released in the same week.
Was it in 2017 0r 2018 when the UK official charts started to include youtube video views for the chart, or is that just for songs silver/platinum certifications?
Piran
Biggest overall debut in 18 months & the highest streaming week of all-time... woah, congratulations Ariana! :)
I wouldn't put '7 Rings' in my Top 10 favourite songs of hers, but even then, it's still fairly good.
Rob Parkinson
I'm really in 2 minds on Ariana with 7 rings. Currently she is pretty much one of if not the biggest star worldwide and then releases a track which has been done so many times before by previous artists and just throw some vocals and a rap over it. There is already artists claiming the track was theirs but it goes further back than those with big brovaz and even further back. Is it pure laziness, I hope not and hope that the reason the new album wasnt dropped so quick after the last if it has loads of other songs melodies that just has new vocals over. Or is it pure genius releasing a song that will cause so much controversy but is ultimately already ingrained in minds ? Tough call. Other than that adore Mabels new track, fresh artist with a great new track which surprised me as so different from her previous releases, hope it will climb next week.
Piran
My worry is that she's going to rush this next album given that 'Sweetener' hasn't even been out for six months & there are 12 tracks on it either, so it's of considerable length.
I'd rather see Ariana stick to the pop that we're used to or even continue to collaborate with rappers like Nicki Minaj, but at least she can do a better job at rapping than most big female artists that have tried to hop on this trend recently.
Rob Parkinson
Have to agree that Ariana can certainly do a great job rapping
