Ariana Grande, Iggy Azalea storm iTunes chart with ‘Problem’
By Josh Haggis
Ariana Grande has stormed to Number One on the UK iTunes chart with her new single Problem.
The single, already a smash in the US, was released onto British iTunes earlier this morning (June 29) and shot to the top spot after less than an hour on sale.
Problem, which features Aussie rapper Iggy Azalea, sold 438,000 copies in its first week of release in the US last month (May), giving 21-year-old Grande, a former Nickelodeon star, the fourth highest first-week sales ever for a track by a female recording artist.
Problem is taken from Grande’s upcoming second album My Everything, which is set for release in August.
Her debut album, 2013′s Yours Truly, featured the US top ten hit The Way, and debuted at number one in the US and number seven in the UK.
Meanwhile, MTV announced this week that they are resurrecting iconic music show Total Request Live (TRL) for a one-off Ariana Grande special next month (July). Click here to find out more.
