It’s a big week of comebacks for Ariana Grande in the United Kingdom. The pop superstar sees her most recent album return, and several singles find their way back to one list. Her reappearing favorites seem to have nothing to do with one another, other than the fact that they are connected by Grande’s talent and the support of her massive fanbase.
“Santa Tell Me” and “Defying Gravity” Return Together
A pair of Grande classics find their way to the Official Physical Singles chart, which tallies the bestselling tunes available on CD, cassette, or vinyl in the U.K. Her holiday smash “Santa Tell Me” is the higher-rising of the two, as it breaks back in at No. 71. “Defying Gravity,” the biggest hit from the musical Wicked, which also credits her co-star Cynthia Erivo, reenters at No. 87.
Both Hits Peaked at No. 3
Coincidentally, both “Santa Tell Me” and “Defying Gravity” peaked at No. 3 on the Official Physical Singles chart. The Wicked tune passes two months on the roster as of this frame, while “Santa Tell Me,” an annual smash, is now up to 14 stays on the ranking.
“Twilight Zone” Also Appears as it Falls
Grande fills a trio of spaces on the Official Physical Singles chart, as “Twilight Zone,” her most recent focus track, dips from No. 13 to No. 27. The same cut also holds on inside the top 40 on the Official Vinyl Singles roster, falling from No. 12 to No. 34.
Eternal Sunshine Becomes a Bestseller Again
The superstar also returns to a pair of albums lists with the same title. Eternal Sunshine, her 2024 full-length, is the bestseller once more as it resettles at No. 90 on the Official Physical Albums chart and No. 96 on the Official Album Sales tally, after not appearing on either roster last period.
The Grammy-nominated Eternal Sunshine can also be found on the Official Albums Streaming and Official Albums charts. But just like “Twilight Zone,” which helped resuscitate Eternal Sunshine as part of a deluxe reissue titled Brighter Days Ahead, the full-length doesn’t need to reappear on either of those latter lists. Instead, it dips a few spaces to Nos. 75 and 76, respectively.
