8. K Bye For Now (SWT Live), 2019
“It’s an amazing experience it’s like you’re taking back to the show which I’ve been to twice this year it was a out of this world experience literally!!!! So thank You Ariana…. It’s the greatest gift!!!!”
7. Christmas & Chill, 2015
“Literally a masterpiece, combining contemporary and 90s inspired R&B and hip hop sounds with those of the holiday season to bring together a sexy and catchy body of work.”
6. Positions, 2020
“The lyrics are atrocious and painfully obviously crafted to provoke a widespread commercial demographic. “Hey let’s capitalize on the Onlyfans and Twitch streamer trend by having an attractive girl sing about having sex and staying up to play video games and eat junk food. She’s so relatable!”
5. Yours Truly, 2013
“There’s something I miss about this early Ariana release… before she was obviously gunning for World’s Biggest Pop Star she had a surprisingly gentle, comforting sound mixed with her world-class pipes and an ostentatious but nonetheless fruitful mix of 90s r&B and 50s doo-wop/early 60’s soul. A little gem full of subtler pleasures than her obviously far louder and more chart-friendly albums would contain.”

4. My Everything, 2014
“A decent pop album makes for a diverting 40 minutes. She has a nice voice and the production is fresh enough for her to have some decent hits come out of this record, I’d call that a success.”
3. Dangerous Woman, 2016
“Interesting voice she has. One of the few white people that can really sing R&B – *cough Britney. Some really solid pop songs on here and a couple of great verses from rappers that actually don’t sound completely out of place as I’m used to from pop music.”
2. Sweetener, 2018
“I always wanted to check out her music so I’m glad someone gave me a chance to with their recommendation. Some of these songs will be stuck in my head for a long time which is probably the point given how much the hooks are repeated (they still sound good and never got annoying to me. She has a really great voice and it shows on a lot of the songs. Especially the intro track and “God is a Woman”
1. Thank U, Next, 2019
“What’s most striking about this album is how effectively it portrays Ariana as a likably flawed and messy protagonist. There’s a clear trajectory of growth leading up to the title track, and the contradictions (like the clinginess of “needy” juxtaposed with the plea for distance in “NASA”) and scattershot emotionality only make it feel more genuine. thank u, next also succeeds in keeping the extremely saturated trap-pop sound of the late 2010s fresh, whether it’s with the infectious guitar riff on “bad idea” or the horns on “bloodline.” Overall, it’s just as listenable as it is a well-written exploration of Ariana’s personal life and loss, only weighed down by a few forgettable tracks that don’t bring much to the narrative and could’ve been axed.”
