Ariana Grande has released six albums within a decade. From Yours Truly to Positions, all her albums have topped the music charts and have won Grammys and Brits.While the majority of the artists were releasing albums during the Coronavirus pandemic, Ariana Grande did not release anything apart from her collaboration with Justin Bieber with their song, "Stuck With U."Although she did want Positions to be released earlier, Grande revealed that the beginning of 2020 was not the best time to drop an album. Instead, decided to take a break from releasing music and spend time with her family and now-husband Dalton.Since her beginnings at Nickelodeon, the actress has become one of the most popular and most loved singers of today. As her last album was released in October 2020, there is a lot of anticipation for the singer's comeback.
AG7 For 2021 Was 'Off The Table'
Weeks after Positions was released, fans wondered what the next album would sound like. A Twitter account from a supposed 'Arianator' started the rumor that the singer was in the works to drop a new album in early 2021.
The now-deleted tweet went viral and fans seemed to believe that the news was true. Ariana has released her albums within months of each other, so it would not be a surprise if she did. However, Ariana addressed the rumor and denied it.
Nonetheless, the artist had released a deluxe version of Positions with five additional tracks: "test drive", "worst behavior", "main thing" as well as a remix of "34+35" and an interlude titled "someone like u" where fans thought of the song being dedicated to her husband, Dalton Gomez.
Her sixth studio album 'Positions' became Grande's fifth album to hit number one in the Billboard charts. Even though she did not release any more of her music throughout the year of 2021, she collaborated with different artists such as Kid Cudi with their song 'Just Look Up' for the movie Don't Look Up, in which she was also cast, and Kelly Clarkson for her ninth-studio album with a song titled 'Santa, Can’t You Hear Me.'
"Don't Look Up" And Other Projects
One of the reasons why Ariana might have not released an album is because the entire filming process for the Don't Look Up film took almost a year, and also she participated as a coach for the 21st season of The Voice.
Ariana made her return to the acting industry by participating in the movie Don't Look Up, which had one of the most expensive casts in it. Big names like Leonardo DiCaprio, Meryl Streep, Timothée Chalamet, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jonah Hill. She did not have much screen time, but she did demonstrate that she is more than a funny character from Nickelodeon.
Although she has not acted for a long time, the fact that the character of Riley Bina was an international music star, was the perfect opportunity for the singer. As she had dropped Positions in October 2020, it was the perfect timing for Ariana to be completely focused on the role.
The Dangerous Woman has also been busy focusing on her new business. That was the launch of her own makeup brand inspired by her song titled R.E.M, which stands for "dream beauty."
She is not the first singer to come up with a cosmetic line. Popstar Selena Gomez also has her cosmetics and skincare line, "Rare Beauty," and the name comes from her album, also titled Rare.
Not to forget, she became Mrs. Gomez after she had married Dalton Gomez, a real estate agent from Los Angeles in May 2021. As it was a busy year for the artist, it would have been hard for her to focus on many things at the same time.
Ariana Has Been Releasing Content On YouTube
Ariana has not released a new album, but she has made sure that her fans were well spoiled. The pop star began the new year of 2021 by releasing a remix of one of her most popular songs for the album, '34+35' on which she sang with Megan Thee Stallion and Doja Cat.
Things did not end there, she also become more active on her YouTube channel by releasing behind-the-scenes content and live performances of her most popular songs. Ty Dolla $ign and The Weeknd, who took part in collaborating with the artist, appeared on those videos.
Her videos have gathered almost 150 million views, which proves her massive popularity for not having had a comeback for more than a year. Out of those views, 16.4 million are from her song with Kid Cudi, "Just Look Up".
Now that we are in a new year, Ariana is one of the most anticipated comebacks and fans cannot wait to hear what the artist has been working on during her time on hiatus.
She had confirmed to be taking a break from music to explore other paths. Now that her beauty company and other projects have finally been released to the public, fans are demanding for the artist to drop new music.
However, Ariana is set to be filming this upcoming summer for a forthcoming film adaptation of Wicked, which is a popular Broadway musical. Even if AG7 does not plan to be released this 2022, at least Arianators know that they will be hearing new music, sooner or later.
