Ariana Grande's 'Positions' Receives First Week Projections
Grande has become the first artist to have three No. 1 debuts in a single year.

The first week projections for Ariana Grande‘s Positions and Trippie Redd‘s Pegasus are in.
According to Hits Daily Double, Grande’s Positions is on track to reach the top of the Billboard charts. Projections suggest the new album will reach between 240K to 260K album-equivalent units, and approximately 60K of those will be sales. Grande’s single “Positions” marks the artist’s third No. 1 debut this year, the first for any artist in Billboard history to achieve such a feat in a single year. So far, the song has garnered 35 million U.S. streams and 34K sold units. Trippie Redd’s first week for Pegasus is expected to lead with strong numbers, too. Around 60K to 70K album-equivalent units have been projected for the album’s debut — a significant boost when compared to his previous LP !, which saw a week of 51K units.
