Has your fave scored a SOLO top 5 hit ever? In order for it to be solo, there must be no other people credited as a main/lead by BB, iTunes, their label, etc.
Yes, Ariana has both a solo Top 5 hit and a global smash song.
Which Ariana's solo single went top 5? IIRC, out of Ariana's 11 singles, only 4 of them were solo, PYHU which bombed hard and didn't chart, Baby I another flop, & One Last time/Focus which most definitely didn't go top 5
because it shows that the artist needs help to get their top 5 hit seeing as they have zero power to do it with their name alone. There are examples of artists who managed to get a top 5 with successful names attached to the song but then when they release a solo song, they tank
