The year 2024 will undeniably have been that of Ariana Grande. In March, the singer made her big comeback with the album “Eternal Sunshine”. Carried by the hits “Yes and?” and “We Can't Be Friends (Wait For Your Love)”, the record has sold 2.3 million copies worldwide including 70,000 copies in France, and allowed him to glean three nominations for the next Grammy Awards. Despite this great success, the American star put this project on hold to concentrate on her absolute dream: playing Glinda in the film adaptation of the musical “Wicked”. The first part, released in cinemas a month ago, exploded all the counters with 527 million dollars collected at the worldwide box office, including 361 million in the United States alone. The second part is planned for November 2025.
