Petal delivers Ariana Grande’s first German No. 1
GfK Entertainment reports that Petal entered the Official German Album Charts at No. 1 in week 32 of 2026, with the chart dated August 7, 2026. The album is released via Babydoll Music and Republic Records and is Grande’s first album to reach the top of Germany’s album ranking.Official German Charts listing
The German chart result marks a step up from her previous studio albums. Eternal Sunshine, released in 2024 and reissued in 2025, peaked at No. 3 in Germany, while earlier sets such as Positions and Thank U, Next never reached the German top position. The move from a No. 3 peak for Eternal Sunshine to a No. 1 for Petal underlines growing album demand in the German market.
German singles and global streaming numbers
Alongside the album, Ariana Grande is present in Germany’s singles charts with both the lead single and the title track from Petal. In the German singles ranking for early August 2026, Hate That I Made You Love Me sits just outside the top 10, while Petal appears further down the list, showing that the album campaign is translating into individual song performance.German chart coverage
The new album also adds to Ariana Grande’s streaming presence. A dedicated streaming tracker notes that by August 17, 2026, she had surpassed 70 billion career streams on Spotify, with Petal contributing around 14 billion streams across all tracks. That figure places the album ahead of Eternal Sunshine, which is credited with roughly 5.5 billion streams, showing how quickly the new material is being consumed.Spotify streaming data summary
