This Christmas, a lot of Ariana Grande fans will be receiving copies of her albums, as sales of the pop superstar’s collections have exploded recently. The singer’s entire discography is present on the United Kingdom’s music charts, with most of her projects returning thanks to an uptick in purchases.
Grande even manages to see one effort debut on multiple charts, as British fans — among the most ardent supporters of her music in the world — snap up copies of her work. One holiday project aside, eight releases by Grande reappear on at least one chart in the U.K.
At the moment, only Eternal Sunshine, her most recent effort, fails to return or debut, as it holds on and even falls across four rankings. Christmas & Chill, Grande’s Yuletide EP, seems to be the focus for many listeners, as it both returns to one ranking and debuts on several others.

Grande’s EP lands on the Official Vinyl Albums chart for only the second time. Grande debuted Christmas & Chill back in December 2019, and it hasn’t been seen since. This frame, the short set climbs to a new high of No. 16 as vinyl purchases grow dramatically and it surges back onto the list.
Ariana Grande’s EP Debuts on Multiple Charts
As the Christmas & Chill EP reaches a new best showing on the Official Vinyl Albums chart, the set debuts on two other tallies. Christmas & Chill opens inside the top 40 on both the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales lists, starting off at No. 35 and No. 36, respectively. Grande collects her ninth career win as the EP arrives.
Thank U, Next Leads Ariana Grande’s Album Returns
Three Grande projects return to a trio of tallies apiece in the U.K. this week. Positions, Sweetener, and Thank U, Next find their way back to the Official Albums Sales, Official Physical Albums, and the Official Vinyl Albums charts.

Dangerous Woman almost joins Positions, Sweetener, and Thank U, Next, but it misses out on breaking back onto the Official Vinyl Albums chart. Dangerous Woman does come in beneath those three bestsellers on the Official Albums Sales ranking and the Official Physical Albums roster, where it has previously cracked the top 10.
Thank U, Next is Ariana Grande’s Most Successful Album Right Now
Thank U, Next is the most successful of Grande’s comebacks. In addition to the three sales-only lists where the Grammy-nominated, hits-packed effort returns, it also manages to land on the Official Albums chart, the 100-space ranking of the most consumed releases in the nation. Thank U, Next joins Eternal Sunshine on that competitive roster as it sneaks back in at No. 91.
Yours Truly Joins Ariana Grande’s Resurgence
Grande’s debut full-length, Yours Truly, doesn’t miss out on this surge, though it didn’t sell well enough to appear on any of the busiest lists like some of her later studio LPs. Yours Truly only lives on the Official Hip Hop and R&B Albums chart, reappearing at No. 24 to the genre-specific ranking.
Several Ariana Grande Songs Become Bestsellers Again
In addition to her many albums returning, several songs by Grande become bestsellers again. “Santa, Can’t You Hear Me,” a duet with Kelly Clarkson, reenters the lower reaches of both the Official Singles Sales and the Official Singles Downloads charts, while “Supernatural” and “Dandelion” become top performers on the Official Vinyl Singles roster once more, landing just a few spaces from one another.
Ariana Grande’s Current Hit Songs Span Her Many Eras
This week is one of Grande’s finest on the U.K. charts, as eight different albums land on one list or another – and in most cases, several. That’s an incredibly impressive showing, but she’s even more successful when it comes to individual tunes.
10 tracks by Grande chart in the U.K. this frame. They come from different eras, including her holiday projects, the two Wicked films, and her many popular studio LPs. Some of the Grammy winner’s top performers this time around include “Santa Tell Me,” “For Good” with Cynthia Erivo and “Twilight Zone.”
