Simultaneously, all 12 tracks debut on the Hot 100.

The Bottom Line

  • The Chart Crown: petal opens at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 295,000 equivalent album units, marking Grande’s seventh career leader.
  • Hot 100 Monopoly: All 12 tracks land on the Hot 100 simultaneously, led by “Hate That I Made You Love Me” rebounding to No. 2 and the title track debuting at No. 4.
  • Elite Company: Grande increases her career Hot 100 entries to 110, joining Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, and Beyoncé as the only women with at least 100 hits.

Breaking Down the Numbers Behind petal

According to Billboard reporting, lead single “Hate That I Made You Love Me”—which spent a week at No. 1 upon its initial June debut—surged back to No. 2 from No. 8. Meanwhile, the title track “Petal” opens at No. 4, giving Grande her 24th career top 10 hit.

Here is the kicker: every single song from the 12-track project locked into the top 40 of the Hot 100. That marks a personal best for Grande, securing her an entire tracklist within the upper echelon of the chart during a single tracking week. Beyond the individual songs, the metrics propelled her 11 spots to No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100, marking her 18th total week at the summit and her first since April 2025.
