People really take her for granted like the fact positions was seen as an underperformance in comparison to thank u next and it’s still multi platinum.. Some would kill to “flop” like that

If you think about the success : promo ratio of Positions, its a smash era tbh! Positions the albums is Plat, the lead is 3X Plat with 69 being 4X (due to Remix), POV is Plat as well. That's 10M units (assuming the album tracks all round up to 1M, but we all know its bigger than that esp Motive) from basically a dropped-and-dipped era with barely any effort at all

I think the album will end up double platinum (if it isn't already), with the two singles at 5/6 x platinum and motive and pov at 2x platinum.

That’s actually insane 

 

her power 

[State of Grace.]

Absolute classic

[gatito]

her best lead single did that  a classic already 

[Norte]

One of the best songs of 2020 and Ariana's best lead single 

[simmnfierzig]

7 is quite a lot 

 

Positions is pretty good. Prefer 34 + 35 from that albums singles

34+35 is at almost 900M (712M from solo + 174M from remix) when combining both versions

7 songs above 1 Billion

Lol. Don't come for Ariana when some of your faves can't even have a single song with 1B streams or an album with a song w/ 1B streams.

[KKCuteCat]

the streaming industry did that 

[worldwide angel]

This is one of her best songs ever

Question : with all these streams why does it seemingly look like she's quit music? Or is the money from streaming just that small?

 

 

money from streaming was always wack. Mariah Carey said they pay u like one tenth of a penny.

[dangerousbutera]

one of her best singles

[thatsmydemi]

Amazing  

 

For some reason this song feels HUGE and underwhelming (in terms of success, even though it clearly isn't!) at the same time. Idk how to explain it.

Because it has no promo so we don't feel like it was plastered everywhere

[PopFan1996]

The real queen of streaming.

[DoubleRainbow!]

Dua is coming to tie again with Cold Heart tho
