Ariana Grande’s sixth album, Positions, was released on October 30. It was and still is trending in the Top 10 Billboard music charts from November all the way until December. It’s woven into Grande’s attempt to process love, an upbeat affair. In its third week of being on the top, Grande’s “Positions” single landed 12.8 million streams worldwide. The album also seems to be celebrating her new relationship with Dalton Gomez, an estate agent. 

Grande’s manager had said, “Positions is a loved-up wallow in every aspect of a newish serious relationship, from relaxed domesticity to worries about whether this one can really last. There are no tentpole hits, no obvious hooks and far too many words crammed into 14 relatively short and sometimes the same type and range of songs, but it does explore new territories for the singer: new relationships, a new sound, a new sense of self.”

Grande’s previous two albums were both released after she had experienced severe high-profile and personal tragedies. The album Sweetener was released in 2018 and was her first album since the terrorist attack at one of her concerts in Manchester. Thank U, Next followed the suicide of her former boyfriend, Mac Miller. It kind of sounds like she has more important things to do. With Positions being her new album, fans can see her in a more upbeat and hype manner, finally being able to be well in her comfort zone and her confidence.
