"Thank U, Next" officially ends the 7-week run that Maroon 5 & Cardi B had with "Girls Like You" at number one.
It took the multiple VMA winner 35 entries to reach the pole position. The song, where she references several past relationships including Pete Davidson and Big Sean, dominated in streams and sales after only 5 days of being released, making it an easy victory on the charts.
Ariana tweeted her excitement about it on Monday by saying "yeeeeeee baby’s first number one."
