Yes, her last era already solidified that

She's above all of her Disney/teen peers (Miley included), but not yet at the next level. She most likely will be after this era though.

Because she released a high budget video doesn't make her a main pop girl. Let's wait until she can achieve a #1 solo single at least.

[The Best One Yet]

No. She doesn't have any hit album like 21, The Fame, Teenage Dream, 1989 or Good Girl Gone Bad yet.

[jordanjm]

Absolutely not, what has she done that has even been memorable or even close to it? The only thing I've heard people ever talk about her are her brother and the donut thing. She has a long way to go.

[Oxygen]

Yes I would hope so
The Focus video slayed

But how does this requirement make any sense at all? Problem was massive; it simply happened to be blocked by one of the biggest hits of the entire year. Focus will likely end up exactly the same, blocked by the gargantuan comeback single of the biggest artist in the whole world, who had the biggest era literally since Thriller.

Yes.

if you are saying yes please elaborate

[hector.adriel]

Well, right now, she IS one of the main girls and this era will only solidify that.

I'm talking the criteria of solo singles. Problem was a collab so i'm not counting that. The other "main pop girls" managed to not get blocked and achieve #1 hits by themselves. Focus has potential to become her first top ten solo. I'm just saying let's wait the moonlight era is over before we place her in the same category as Rih/Katy/Bey/Gaga etc.

[hector.adriel]

Ariana is above ALL Disney girls: Selena, Demi, even above Miley. Her fanbase is MASSIVE.

[shelven]

As much as I don't care for her, absolutely yes. Assuming Focus goes Top 10 (which is almost guaranteed to happen), then this will be her third era where she's gotten at least one Top 10 hit. And if this era is handled as well as the My Everything era was, then this will be her second era getting multiple Top 10s. There's no denying her ability to consistently make hits.

[legendarylovers]

OT: obviously, the answer is no

[KasioKas]

Yes.

Who cares? I don't mean to be blunt or forward, but Problem was Ariana as the lead artist and the only lead artist, and the other girls weren't up against someone who happened to be significant enough to block them.

Bad Romance, for example, was blocked despite its massive popularity.

I just don't see how arbitrary distinctions affect her status; it should be about overall statistics and general performance, not absolute ideas like "#1 on Billboard for a week" or "solo singles only."

[Tristan]

She has been since ME era. Ya'll blind or sumthin'?

Ariana Grande said she hates America. Comments under every new Ariana Grande VEVO video, comments under every new Yahoo! story about Ariana Grande, it will be: "She hates America. Get out of our country." I'm not even exaggerating. It ruins careers. Ask The Dixie Chicks. Ariana Grande will never be a main pop girl (not in the US, where it matters anyway). Her fanbase (tweens/gays) aren't enough to support her to become a main pop girl, she needed the general public -- that's over.

...Vin

the fact that only this much of your response was on topic has my mouse hovered over report.

Well agree to disagree. She's not one to me yet. Your criteria or definition of a "main pop star" is different from mine I guess. I'm just giving an example of what other "mains" have that Ari doesn't. She'll likely will eventually.

[IBeMe]

at the end of this era she will officially be a main pop girl.
She just needs another album to sell 700k+ in the US and like 3 more top 10's I think.
She is literally scratching at the gates of "main pop girl land" that's how close she is.
