Ariana Grande's song, entitled "Focus," joined "Hello" by Adele at the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Billboard reported that Adele's "Hello" soared to the top of their Hot 100 chart for a second week. According to Nielsen Music, it has been downloaded 635,000 times in the U.S. after its record-breaking first frame.
Ariana Grande's song "Focus" jumps to No. 7. This is her first single from her upcoming album entitled "Moonlight." The track vaulted onto Digital Songs at No. 5, Streaming Songs at No. 8 and Radio Songs at No. 38.
The publication noted that Ariana Grande's song did not credit Jamie Foxx for his participation in the chorus. "Focus" is the pop star's sixth Hot 100 top 10 track.
Previously, "The Way" featuring Mac Miller got to No. 9, "Problem" with Iggy Azalea grabbed the No. 2 spot, "Break Free" featuring Zedd got to top 4, "Bang Bang" with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj arrived at No. 3 and "Love Me Harder" with The Weeknd got to No. 7. "Focus" is Grande's first foray to the Hot 100 top 10 without another artist accompanying her.
In another report by Billboard, Andrea Bocelli described how it was working with the 22-year-old pop star. He revealed that it was his children who inspired him to call her for "E Piu Ti Penso."
"I heard her voice and I liked it very much, and so I called her," he said. "And I was very happy to work with her."
Grande was over-the-moon when she found out that she will be working with the legendary tenor. "She said that it was an honor to sing with me, but I, too, had the privilege to sing with her," Bocelli added.
"It was a privilege for me because she allowed me to have my voice heard by her young fans."
He has also worked with "X Factor" judge Nicole Scherzinger for "No Llores Por Mi Argentina" ("Don't Cry for Me Argentina"). Bocelli's wife, Veronica Berti, also did a duet with him on his album.
