Popular Hollywood Actress with musical talent - Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande-Butera (born June 26, 1993) is an American singer and actress. Born in Boca Raton, Florida, Grande began her career at age 15 in the 2008 Broadway musical. She rose to fame for her role as Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon television series Victorious (2010–2013) and Sam & Cat (2013–2014). She subsequently signed with Republic Records in 2011 after the label's executives discovered YouTube videos of her covering songs. Her 1950s doo-wop-influenced pop and R&B debut album,^[1] Yours Truly (2013), topped the US Billboard 200 chart, while its lead single, "The Way", charted in the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100.

Grande maintained her pop and R&B sound on her second and third studio albums, My Everything (2014), and Dangerous Woman (2016), with the former exploring EDM and producing the UK number-one singles "Problem" and "Bang Bang" and the latter becoming her first of four consecutive number-one albums in the UK. Her trap-infused fourth and fifth studio albums, Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019), were both critical and commercial successes. The former won Grande a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album, while the latter was nominated for the Album of the Year.^[2] The singles "Thank U, Next", "7 Rings", and "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" made Grande the first solo artist to hold the top three spots on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously, and the first woman to succeed herself at the top of the UK Singles Chart. Her 2020 collaborations "Stuck with U" and "Rain on Me", helped her break the record for the most number-one debuts on the Hot 100. Grande's R&B-influenced sixth studio album, Positions (2020), and its title track, debuted at number-one in the UK and US.

She possesses a four-octave vocal range and whistle register. She is the first act to have all lead singles from each of her first six studio albums debut in the top ten of the Hot 100, the first act to have her first five number one singles debut at the top spot on that chart, and the first to have three number one-debuts in one calendar year. She has received various accolades throughout her career, including one Grammy Award, one Brit Award, two Billboard Music Awards, three American Music Awards, nine MTV Video Music Awards, and eight Guinness World Records. All five of Grande's full-length albums have been certified platinum by the RIAA. Having amassed billions of streams thus far, Grande is the most streamed female artist on Spotify and Apple Music and is currently the most followed solo female artist on Spotify, and YouTube.^[3]^[4]^[5] She has been included on Time's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world (2016 and 2019) and Forbes' list of the highest-paid women in music multiple times, while Billboard has honoured her as Woman of the Year (2018) and the most accomplished female artist to debut in the 2010s.^[6] Outside of music, Grande is the most followed woman on Instagram.
