Eternal Sunshine is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Ariana Grande. It was released on March 8, 2024, by Republic Records. Grande, a big fan of Canadian actor Jim Carrey, referenced his movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) with the album's title.[3]

It is her first album to be released since Positions (2020). The album features more of a pop, house and R&B sound compared to her other albums, which are more urban sounding.

Singles

The lead single, "Yes, And?", was released on January 12, 2024. It entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number one, becoming Grande's eighth US number-one hit. It is a house and dance-pop song, and the video references Paula Abdul's music video for "Cold Hearted" (1989).

The second single, "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" was released with the album on March 8, 2024. It is a synth-pop and electropop song, and the video references Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.[4][5] Like "Yes, And?", "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" also entered at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and became Grande's ninth US number-one song. It also marks a chart double, with Grande having the number-one album and song in the same week, her first since Thank U, Next and "7 Rings" in 2019.[6]

Commercial performance

On March 17, 2024, Billboard announced that Eternal Sunshine debuted atop the Billboard 200 with 227,000 units streamed/sold, the highest first-week sales of 2024 so far. It became Grande's sixth US number-one album.[7]
