In the 10 years since then, Grande has moved 19.4 million album units in the U.S. and garnered over 23.6 billion streams across lead artist credits, according to Luminate. Yours Truly has sold 650,000 pure copies and earned 2 million equivalent album units. The album’s songs collectively have earned over 1.65 billion on-demand streams in the U.S. This Friday (Aug. 25), Grande released a deluxe digital version of the debut set, featuring additional live versions of six of its tracks, with more commemorative festivities planned for the album’s anniversary throughout the week to come.

Not too shabby.

The princess of pop of this generation. Deserves 

[Jjang]

that’s an average of 3.2m per album 

[LustSpell]

That's honestly a lot more than I thought. Her streaming is still strong af. I thought she was like around 10m units

[Blue Monday]

The way ATRL underrates her success simply because they can't stand her 

[Reverse Warholian]

Not a big fan but those are great numbers. Can we get a per album breakdown?

I think it's ~2M for Yours Truly, +2.5M for Sweetener and Positions, My Everything and Dangerous Woman in the 3-4M area with TUN slightly bigger.

No I think it's My Everything in pure sales, updated ages ago but:

 

The album has sold 759,000 copies in the United States as of April 2018.

I know pure sales are not relevant anymore and she's a streaming artisté

but i would love to see how all her albums have done in that department

Taking in mind the 2020 update from billboard, ME sold 800k, YT 700k, DW 600k, SWT and TUN around 450k, and Positions at 350k

No, it's My Everything with 759,000 in 2020

Hmm would expect more with My Everything and TUN. Still obviously much bigger than any of her ex-act competition

They're two opposites: My Everything had many singles which brought the total up (5 singles is the most Ariana's ever done and they were all well promoted) but the album itself wasn't that big, on the other hand, TUN only had 3 singles, one of which wasn't pushed much, but the album was overall her biggest body of work, basically one had what the other lacked and vice versa.

Do we have the exact units numbers for each album?

All albums being multi platinum  Positions and Sweetener deserve more 

[zzmyth]

She is at around 3.5M pure right? So sales are around 20% of total

so she sold ~ 700k album units in the past 6 months. That’s cute considering how inactive she’s been for years now.

Does anyone know why she didn't end up being a huge pure selling artist?

 

Problem and Baby I's debuts were absolutely fantastic

Her singles sales weren't bad, but back in 2014-2016 I don't think she had much interest for her albums, the singles were huge but not many people checked her albums, plus her fanbase was extremely young back then. 

 

Nowadays, especially since 2018/2019, the artists with good album pure album sales are the ones who make cool physical albums, and sadly her products are just not worth the money. Why would anybody buy different versions of Positions when they all have the same cover? Why would anyone buy more than one TUN copy? She hasn't even done a photoshoot for TUN, which is her biggest album, she puts 0 effort and sadly I don't think she cares enough to improve.
