Ariana Grande: The Next Beyoncé or The Next Ashlee Simpson

Ariana Grande despite of speculations about her alleged leaked nude photo, she is currently one of the hottest names in pop music after her summer hit “Problem” rode high on the charts for months. Joining a very select group of female superstars, her album My Everything landed at no. 1 on the Billboard chart by selling 169,000 copies.

This is Grande’s second no. 1 debut after her freshman album Yours Truly accomplished the same feat. The two no. 1 albums kept Grande in the ranks of several pop sensations. All five of Beyoncé’s albums have debuted at no. 1. Six of Britney Spears’s eight studio albums debuted at no. 1. Norah Jones managed the trick three times, and Alicia Keys did too.

That sets Grande up for a lengthy singing career. But it doesn’t guarantee one either. Grande could easily be the next Ashanti according to source whose first two albums debuted at no. 1 as well.
