Just because Ariana Grande matched the Beatles Billboard record doesn't mean one is better than ...
A pop singer and British rock group, five decades apart in influence, now hold the same Billboard record as of earlier last week.
On April 25, 1964, The Beatles topped the Billboard Hot 100 with “Can’t Buy Me Love,” at No. 1, “Twist and Shout” at No. 2, and “Do You Want to Know a Secret” at No. 3. The famous rock band was the only group to hold a No.1, No. 2, and No. 3 spot simultaneously --- that is, until Feb. 19.
Ariana Grande, one of the biggest pop stars in the game right now, just matched this record with “7 Rings” at No. 1, “Break up with Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored” at No. 2, and “Thank U, Next” at No. 3.
Grande broke a record that hasn’t been broken in 55 years, and for that she should be extremely proud of herself. Along with that, The Beatles should feel the same for also holding this record and for all they have accomplished.
