Nickelodeon star Ariana Grande, best known for her roles in Victorious and Sam & Cat, released her much anticipated debut album today.
Yours Truly has already climbed its way up to #1 in countries on iTunes music chart and should be making a big debut when Billboard numbers are released next week.
The 20-year-old singer tweeted her excitement to all of her fans this morning:
Grande worked on the album with writer and producer Harmony Samuels (Beyonce/Fantasia/Kelly Rowland) and ten-time Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter Babyface. The R&B-style record is being compared to that of Mariah Carey.
The album’s sales are largely due to the success of the multi-platinum lead single “The Way ft. Mac Miller,” which has over 86 million views on Youtube, and its follow-up single “Baby I,” which topped out at #2 on iTunes. Ariana collaborated with Big Sean, The Wanted’s Nathan Sykes and MIKA on the album.
