Eternal Sunshine (album)

***Eternal Sunshine*** is the nineteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter and producer 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.

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_. Like "Yes, And?", "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" also entered at the top of the _Billboard_ Hot 100. It became Grande's ninth US number-one song. The song also marks a chart double, with Grande having the number-one album and song in the same week. It was her first since _Thank U, Next_ and "7 Rings" in 2019.

## Commercial performance

On March 17, 2024, _Billboard_ announced that _Eternal Sunshine_ debuted atop the _Billboard_ 200 with 227,000 units streamed/sold. At that point in time, it was the highest first-week sales of 2024. It became Grande's sixth US number-one album.
