Grande began her music career at the age of 15 during the 2008 Broadway musical 13. She became famous for playing Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon TV series Victorious (2010-2013) and Sam & Cat (2013-2014). Grande signed with Republic Records in 2011 after label executives viewed YouTube videos of her performing songs. The US Billboard 200 topped Grande's 1950s R&B-influenced pop and R&B debut album, [2] Yours Truly (2013). The single "The Way" has risen to the top ten on the US Billboard Hot 100. Grande's voice and her whistle in the album instantly drew comparisons to Mariah Carey.
She continued to experiment with pop and R&B in her third and second studio albums, My Everything (2014) and Dangerous Woman (2016). My Everything experimented with EDM and became a huge hit due to its singles "Problem", "Break Free" and "Bang Bang" and Dangerous Woman became her first album to have four consecutive albums at number one in the UK. Her personal struggles have influenced her trap-infused fourth and fifth studio albums, Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019) Both of them were commercial and critical successes. Sweetener earned her the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album. Thank U Next set the record for the largest streaming week for pop albums . It also was nominated for Album of the Year. Grande was the first solo artist to to hold the Top Three spots on the Hot 100, and also the first female artist to climb to the top of the UK Singles Chart. Her 2020 collaborations "Stuck with U" with Justin Bieber and "Rain on Me" together with Lady Gaga helped her break the record for most number-one debuts on the Hot 100, the latter winning the Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Grande's sixth studio album Positions (2020), increased her focus on trap music. Both the album and its lead single hit the top spot in the UK. Grande collaborated with The Weeknd on the remix of "Save Your Tears" and made it her sixth US number one single.
