It's been a long time since Nickelodeon produced a star. Ariana Grande just released her new single, The Way, which is already Top 15 on iTunes with no promo and increasing FAST and #BuyTheWayOniTunes was the #1 trending topic WW on twitter for hours. Other Nick stars such as Victoria Justice & Miranda Cosgrove have all failed to achieve success outside Nick but can Ariana finally break that barrier?

She has a better chance

Edit: I'll vote 1st option

nope

She's a little Mariah. Happy she's getting success.

Yes. YES. YEEESSS!!! I'm so happy with how she's doing! She deserves every bit of success.

I don't know really

I hope so. She's really cute and I actually really like the song.

I hope so. She's f**king sexy as hell and hotter than all the others

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking when I heard the song! Like this had to be Mariah's first and they handed to her. Love the song, BTW! I'm glad it's hers now! Just bought it!

Tamar Braxton got to number 1 on iTunes yet the song (or her for that matter) didn't really go anywhere so who can be sure?

Other than Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus, Miss Ariana is on the way to becoming a next generation Pop Gurl and that's the true tea.

Man i hope so, that girl is sexy as hell, and her voice is amazing, and her new single *****. She is gonna be the it girl of 2013, i'm calling it now.

This!

She sounds exactly like Mariah on The Way. The song is pretty good

her voice is incredible. i hope she gets the success she deserves.

The song is actually doing quite well...it's just an R&B record so of course it wasn't gonna "slay." Tamar's future as an artist will be determined in the coming months as she releases more material.
