AceShowbiz - Ariana Grande has become the first artist to land the top three tracks on America's Billboard Hot 100 since The Beatles in 1964.
The singer's "7 Rings" lands a fourth on top, while her new track, "Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored", debuts at two, and her former chart-topper "Thank U, Next" rebounds to three.
It was almost 55 years ago since the Fab Four managed the chart triple. Before Ariana, they were the only act to claim the top three in the same week. The Beatles actually claimed the entire top five on April 25, 1964.
All three of Ariana's tracks come from her new album, also called "Thank U, Next", which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart on Sunday, February 17 with the biggest streaming week for a pop album ever.
Meanwhile, "Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" is Grande's 13th top 10 hit.
Responding to her latest chart feat, the singer took to Twitter on Tuesday, February 19 and wrote, "wait what", followed by, "what the f**k is going on."
