ARTIST BACKGROUND

About Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande is a singer and performer from Boca Raton, Florida. Her debut album, Yours Truly, introduced The Way with Mac Miller, followed by the second album My Everything. Later solo projects include Sweetener, Positions and eternal sunshine, while collaborations place her voice alongside other pop and R&B performers. Her screen work also includes Glinda in the film adaptation of Wicked. Album recordings, featured appearances and film-cast performances remain distinct parts of that career.

First released means the earliest documented official public release of the selected recording. A year-only date does not assert a month or day. Later singles, chart years, compilations, remasters and reissues do not replace that date.
