Congratulations to Ariana Grande, who lands straight in at Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart with her new album Sweetener.

It's Ariana's second Number 1 album after 2016's Dangerous Woman, and is her strongest opening sales week yet: Sweetener shifted 45,000 and is the week's biggest record across physical sales, downloads and streaming. It was also the week's best-selling cassette, with 1,250 sales.

Ariana told OfficialCharts.com: "Thank you so much! I'm so grateful! I can't tell you how appreciative I am. I can't wait to see you in September ;)”.

Three songs from Sweetener also feature in this week's Official Singles Chart, including Breathin' and the title track. Check out Ariana Grande's Top 10 biggest hits on the Official Chart

Congrats Ari! :)
It's good to see a break in the reign of soundtracks, especially when it's by an amazing vocalist like her.
