So if it's not Ariana Grande living her best life on the set of Wicked, then she's still out here dominating, dominating the music charts. As when it comes to the Wicked soundtrack, let's just talk about the movie because when it comes to the movie industry and them talking about how all the movies in the world are just straight up flopping, except for a couple, except for a few, this is one of the rare exceptions and honestly one of the biggest dubs i've seen from a musician being being able to pivot into acting right back into singing because of course she started off

as an actor if you know the iconic show victorious and funny enough Leon Thomas was also on that album who currently is getting a lot of high critical acclaim for his album them mud, right? And apparently him and Ariana still work on, like, music together and things of that nature. But anyway, that's besides a point. Basically, what I'm saying is sometimes acting, I mean, just think of my favorite rapper, right? Sometimes acting into a musician is not so far-fetched, especially in today's age, where all of our superstars seemingly had an acting background before they ever started.

I don't know what type of 360 deal. There's TV shows or movies put these actors under. but the ratio of famous actor to famous musician is very, very peculiar. So I would like to know what is the direct connection to that. But anyways, getting back into the greatest singer of all time. And that's probably the highest compliment I could give somebody. So as far as being able to just go into her overall four octave vocal range and obviously have a better voice

than every other singer, it's pivotal that I point that out because sometimes it gets lost in translation that Ariana Grande probably has the greatest singing voice of all time. Now, obviously, a lot of people have something to say about that. But from a talent perspective, I think is just playing this day.

It's almost like when you talk about who's the most overall talented musician And then you start to bring up people who play the instrument, people who compose bees, people who rap, sing. Like if they can do an all in one, sort of like a, like a Pharrell Williams or a talented creator, like somebody who has like a lot of the assets you need to be a great creator, like a childish Gambino, different ventures,

and still be obviously more talented than the rest. I think Arian is in that same boat when it comes. comes to specifically singing. So with her album, I know, with her song, that's currently the 14th most played track in the world, that's basically, well, not basically, it is a Christmas track that was released back in 2014 for the holiday season. This track was initially tied to the 2013 EP Christmas Kisses later reissued in Japan. I don't know why I said that.

Bay, they, fun fact for you, right? So with that and her having just a Christmas trackout in 2013, it being 2024, and now Santa tell me specifically is the 14th most played track in the world, some would say that maybe if you have the greatest singer of all time, you should probably convince her to make Christmas music. So it's no surprise that Santa Tell Me by Ariana Grande, day is one of the greatest performing tracks currently with it being you know of course the 14th most played track now when it comes to um when it comes to overall i'm trying to think of the track

i was looking at okay so basically when it comes to the wicked movie soundtrack and the overall anticipation of the movie you kind of start to realize that not only did We could receive a lot of positive reception as far as from both critics and audiences, but it also holds a 90% score of Rotten Tomatoes and an impressive audience score of 97%. That's not where it stops, though. The film grossed over $164 million worldwide during this opening weekend, marking the highest grossing global debut for a Broadway adaption, surpassing less. Miserables that had 103 million.

So anyways, basically I say all that to say this. Movies are flopping left and right and wicked is out here breaking records. And not only is it breaking records, Ariana herself still has tracks that was released in 2014, still bubbling up in today's age with Santa Tell Me, currently being the 14th most played track in the world. So that is why I'm saying. as far as the immense success that she's had on the wicked movie set and then to just transition

and to having one of the most popular tracks of all time, not all time, one of the most popular tracks currently with Santa Tell Me, of course, having defying gravity with her track with Cynthia Arrivo, with that being the 55th most play track in the world. Then you have Ariana Grande's solo track, popular, the 69th most play track in the world. Then you have, what is this feeling? the 75th most popular track in the world also along with Cynthia sydia and then of course well okay so she has four tracks on the charts in the top of hundred that is a significant accomplishment when you've been spending majority of your time for the past month basically going on a marketing campaign for a whole movie that had nothing to do

with these tracks that are now popular on the charts it's almost like it's like a full scale attack as far as a marketing strategy strategy and just having content out there that ultimately just plays off of one another. People watch the movie Wicked. People go back to Ariana Grande's music. People who's listening to Ariana Grande's music are going to the Wicked movie, especially when the soundtrack is out now and she's featured on it. So with that being said, that's really all I had to say about Ariana.

I mean, she's just super immensely talented, probably, probably the greatest singer of all time. So that is the highest compliment I could probably give a singer if I do say so myself. I don't know any other compliment that you could give a singer that would be higher than that. So I would probably say because, you know, people are just going to be like, oh, you're just saying that because she's a female. I think for the male side of things, I think, I mean, I guess that excludes a female home. Well, as far as the top two singers in the world, I think Ariana Grande and then the weekend are probably up there as far as like, the greatest singers ever. So with that being said, she also joined the Billion Streams Club not too long ago.

And she had a 2023 naughty version. What? What is that for? What she got a naughty version for her? She's trying to make a 50 shades of gray remix? Like she's trying to audition for that next? Anyways, I know Big Shy have something to say about that one. Anyways, with that being said, Santa tell me is definitely a pivotal truce.

track in today's age as is the 14th most played track in the world. And shout out to Ariana Grande for also starring in a movie that's immensely successful in the industry that is time and time again finding itself with movies that set up to be a monumental hip and hit and they end up flopping.
