\n\tAriana Grande<\/a>\u2019s Petal<\/a> has given the superstar her sixth consecutive U.K. No. 1 album on the chart published Friday (Aug. 7).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe streak began in 2016 with Dangerous Woman and continued with Sweetener (2018), Thank U, Next (2019), Positions (2020) and Eternal Sunshine (2024). Her first two albums \u2014 Yours Truly (2013) and My Everything (2014) \u2014 peaked at No. 7 and No. 3, respectively, in the U.K.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe final leg of Grande\u2019s Eternal Sunshine Tour will commence next Saturday (Aug. 15) with a 10-night stand at London\u2019s The O2; the career-spanning tour kicked off in San Francisco in June.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this week, a rep confirmed<\/a> to People that Grande \u201cwould be taking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe statement continued, \u201cShe looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny. This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe was previously slated to feature in a production of Sunday in the Park With George alongside Wicked costar Jonathan Bailey at London\u2019s Barbican Centre.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere on the charts, Michael Jackson\u2019s The Essential collection retains its position at No. 2, while Olivia Rodrigo\u2019s you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love also holds its spot at No. 3.<\/p>\n

\n\tOlivia Dean\u2019s The Art of Loving rises one spot to No. 4 after her headline set at Chicago\u2019s Lollapalooza festival <\/a>Aug. 1. Sienna Spiro, who also performed at the festival, climbs to No. 5 with her debut album, The Visitor. Following a run of U.K. shows, Katy Perry\u2019s hits compilation, The Ones That Got the Plays, reaches a new peak at No. 8.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing news that he had set a new Guinness World Record as the first solo country act<\/a> to headline Wembley Stadium, Luke Combs\u2019 The Way I Am rises to No. 15. The album initially peaked at No. 4 in March this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ariana Grande\u2019s Petal has given the superstar her sixth consecutive U.K. No. 1 album on the chart published…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":626087,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[264],"tags":[4810,4811,4812,18,117,1883,19,17,337,2624],"class_list":["post-626086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-billboard-uk","tag-billboard-uk-charts","tag-chart-beat","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-genre-pop","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-music","tag-music-news"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/117056514833790858","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=626086"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626086\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/626087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=626086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=626086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=626086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
