Ariana Grande’s ‘Eternal Sunshine’ Reaches A Special Milestone

Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine is still basking in a very special glow, even as it celebrates its first birthday. More than a year after its release, the album shows no sign of fading – in fact, it’s still one of the most popular sets in the United Kingdom. The pop singer recently gave the project a second life with a deluxe edition, titled Brighter Days Ahead, which added several new tracks to the set, making it a smash all over again. Now, that boost has helped the title hit an important milestone.

Eternal Sunshine Hits a Full Year on the Albums Chart

As of this frame, Eternal Sunshine has officially spent a full year on the Official Albums chart in the U.K. The list ranks the most consumed full-lengths and EPs in the country, blending pure sales and streaming activity to determine which titles are connecting with British audiences. The project reaches 52 total weeks on the tally this period, becoming the latest in Grande’s growing list of smash successes to achieve that honor.

Only Two Ariana Grande Albums Have Missed That Mark

Out of Grande’s seven full-lengths, only two have failed to make it to the 52-week milestone on the U.K. chart. One of those near misses was Positions, which still enjoyed a run of 43 weeks on the tally. Her debut album Yours Truly remains her weakest performer on the ranking. That release peaked at No. 7 – her lowest high point – and managed just five weeks on the chart.

Dangerous Woman and My Everything Lead the Way

While Eternal Sunshine celebrates its fifty-second frame, two of Grande’s past efforts have gone much further. Dangerous Woman currently stands as her longest-charting release in the U.K., with an impressive 114 weeks on the Official Albums chart to its credit. My Everything isn’t far behind, climbing to 105 total weeks — just over two full years.

Eternal Sunshine is Still a Huge Win

Even as it reaches the one-year mark, Eternal Sunshine is performing better than the vast majority of albums at this stage in their lifecycle. This week, the collection appears on six U.K.-based charts, and while it slips slightly on each ranking, it doesn’t do so dramatically.

On the Official Albums chart, the set dips from No. 3 to No. 4. When it comes to the Official Albums Streaming list, the project is also holding steady inside the top 10.

Grande released Eternal Sunshine in March 2024, and in a little over a year, the set has become one of her most successful releases in the U.K. With Brighter Days Ahead giving the project new momentum, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the album push well past this one-year marker, and perhaps even join her two longest-running efforts down the line.
