Los Angeles, April 7 (NationPress) - The multi-talented singer and actress Ariana Grande has reclaimed the top position on the Billboard 200 albums chart with her EP ‘Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead’ deluxe reissue.
This new version of the album, featuring six additional bonus tracks, surged to Number 1 from its earlier rank of Number 71, achieving a total of 137,000 units, as reported by Variety.
According to Luminate, the original 13-track LP, ‘Eternal Sunshine’, debuted at No. 1 in March 2024, with over 200,000 first-week equivalent album units.
This success was driven by two hits that claimed Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100: the advance single ‘Yes, And?’ and the lead track ‘We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)’.
As detailed by Variety, this achievement marks its 55th week on the chart. ‘Eternal Sunshine’ has now held the top spot for the third consecutive week, boosted by an extended version of the album-opening track “Intro (End of the World)” and five new songs.
The latest songs chart will be published on Monday, but it is anticipated that the bonus tracks ‘Twilight Zone’ and ‘Dandelion’ will have a significant presence based on their performance on digital streaming platforms, including Spotify’s daily Top Songs charts.
Additionally, Grande has made various versions of the deluxe album available for purchase, including exclusive digital downloads of the 19-track ‘Brighter Days Ahead’ reissue, one with the complete tracklist, one with instrumentals, and another with acapellas (all featuring alternate covers). Physical copies of the EP’s new edition on vinyl and CD are also up for grabs.
In other news on the Billboard 200, Lil Durk, a rapper from Chicago, secured a Number 3 spot with his album ‘Deep Thoughts’, earning 64,000 units in its debut week.
