Ariana Grande's Five Top Hits Make a spectacular Return to the Same Chart
Ariana Grande's tunes are making a splash on the UK music scene! Twelve of her singles are on the rise, thanks to the decreased popularity of holiday tunes in the country. The songstress is killing it on various charts, and her comeback on one particular tally is truly impressive.
Let's talk about the Official Physical Singles chart, which ranks the bestsellers on any physical format (CD, cassette, vinyl, and the like). Ariana scores seven hits this week. Five of these tracks make a triumphant return to the chart after being ousted by popular holiday jingles.
"One Last Time" has had an impressive comeback, climbing to No. 49 on this week's chart. The song gained new significance in the UK following a terrorist attack at one of Ariana's concerts in Manchester.
Two more smash-hits aren't far behind. "The Boy Is Mine," from her 2024 album Eternal Sunshine, re-enters the rankings at No. 56. Not far behind, "Love Me Harder" (with The Weeknd) takes the No. 57 spot.
Two hits share the same strange coincidence on this week's chart. "Problem," involving Iggy Azalea, lands at No. 98, while "Break Free," featuring Zedd, manages to hang on with a No. 99 spot.
It's worth noting that all five of these hits have previously cracked the top 10 on the Official Physical Singles chart, but none have ever ruled the tally.
Ariana isn't stopping with five comebacks. Two more of her cuts surface on the chart, with one skyrocketing and the other seeing a decline.
"Yes, And?" soars from No. 68 to No. 34, reclaiming a place in the top 40. At the same time, Ariana's current Christmas hit, "Santa Tell Me," begins its annual descent. This festive track falls from No. 10 to No. 21 and will likely dip further – or even disappear – from the chart soon.

Insights from the enrichment data show that while Ariana Grande's music is doing well on the UK charts, there is no direct mention of a significant resurgence after the removal of Christmas cuts. Her song "Dark All Day" by Gunship ft. Tim Cappello & Indiana has moved up two spots, but further analysis would be required to confirm any post-holiday resurgence of her own music. Additionally, Ariana Grande was surprisingly left out of the 2025 BRITs nominations despite her commercial success in the previous year.
Ariana Grande's song "One Last Time" has seen a significant boost on the charts, reaching No. 49 post-Manchester terrorist attack. This resurgence is also seen in her comeback on the Official Physical Singles chart.
In addition to "One Last Time", Ariana Grande's duet with The Weeknd, "Love Me Harder", is also making a comeback, securing the No. 57 spot on the chart.
The popularity of Ariana Grande's tracks is not limited to her recent singles. Her 2024 album track, "The Boy Is Mine", also re-enters the charts at No. 56.
Just like "The Boy Is Mine", Ariana Grande's collaboration with Iggy Azalea, "Problem", is also making a return, landing on the chart at No. 98.
Moreover, Ariana Grande's collaboration with Zedd, "Break Free", also re-enters the charts, securing the No. 99 spot. It's worth noting that all five of these hits have previously made it to the top 10 on the Official Physical Singles chart, but none have ever taken the top spot.
