Ariana Grande has reclaimed the top spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart with the deluxe reissue of her EP, Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead.
The expanded edition, featuring six bonus tracks, soared from No. 71 to No. 1, moving 137,000 equivalent album units, according to Variety and data from Luminate.
Originally released as a 13-track LP, Eternal Sunshine debuted at No. 1 in March 2024, powered by over 200,000 first-week units and two Billboard Hot 100 chart-toppers: the lead single Yes, And? and the emotional We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love).
Now in its 55th week on the chart, the album has returned to the summit for a third consecutive week following the release of the deluxe version.
This new edition includes an extended cut of the opener “Intro (End of the World)” along with five new songs.
Among the standout additions are Twilight Zone and Dandelion, both of which are gaining traction on digital streaming platforms like Spotify and are expected to make waves on the Hot 100 when the chart updates on Monday.
Grande has also embraced a multi-format release strategy for the reissue.

Physical editions on vinyl and CD are also available.
Meanwhile, on the Billboard 200, Chicago rapper Lil Durk secured a strong debut at No. 3 with his latest release, Deep Thoughts, which opened with 64,000 equivalent album units.
