"Thank U, Next" is the fifth studio album by American singer Ariana Grande, released on February 8, 2019, by Republic Records, just six months after her fourth album, "Sweetener" (2018). The album was created during a period of personal turmoil for Grande, including the death of her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller and the end of her engagement to Pete Davidson.
 
The album was led by two singles, the title track and "7 Rings," both of which debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Grande's first number-one songs in the United States. "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" was released as the third single on the album's release day and peaked at number two on the Hot 100. Impressively, all 12 tracks from the album entered the Hot 100, with the singles occupying the top three spots, making Grande the first solo artist to achieve this feat. The album topped the charts in 17 countries and shattered numerous streaming records, including those for the largest weekly streams for a pop album and a female album in the United States. It was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America and ranked number two on the US Billboard 200 Year-End chart of 2019. Globally, it was the eighth best-selling album of 2019 and the fourth best-selling album by a female artist.
 
"Thank U, Next" received widespread critical acclaim, with reviewers praising its cohesiveness, production, and Grande's vulnerability. In support of both "Sweetener" and "Thank U, Next," Grande embarked on the Sweetener World Tour, starting on March 18, 2019. The tour was a commercial success, grossing over $146 million from 97 shows.
The album was named the best album of 2019 by several publications and appeared on numerous year-end and decade-end lists. "Thank U, Next" and its songs received nominations for four Grammy Awards, an American Music Award, a Billboard Music Award, and a Juno Award.
