In honor of Ariana GrandesEternal Sunshine,weve updated our Ari collaborations ranking from 2021.
But even before she ascended to the top, Grande was a generous, prolific, and in-demand collaborator.
Here, all 57 of Ariana Grandes collaborations, ranked.
(She didnt want to be there anyway.)
Problem with Iggy Azalea
Like most of the low-ranking songs here, this isnt a bad Ariana Grande performance.
ButIggy Azaleais deadweight on the song, with her blaccent and school-assignment-level rhymes.
After collabs with T.I.
Hands on Me with A$AP FergAnother why?
Put your hands on me isnt an invitation to smudge a near-polished bop.
Research with Big Sean52.
And thats that on that.
The remix did work, with Good As Hell peaking atNo.
Thats not the case on thisThe Hunger Games: Mockingjay Pt.
1cut, where Grande has to fight against the chaos of an obnoxious dancehall drop.
Got Her Own with Victoria Monet47.
They come off as empty and forced, so why not just listen to the real things instead?
(We deserve an honest AriNormani collab.)
The track was another move toward hip-hop from Grande, thanks in part to Pharrells heavy producers touch.
Grande couldve taken the team-up an extra step and traded bars with Minaj, but instead she oversold it.
It probably should rank lower, but I dont have the heart to knock something so joyful.
Ordinary Thing with NonnaIts hard to knock Nonna I mean, look at her cutenew Spotify page!
and Im always a sucker for a mom/grandma moment on an album.
Unfortunately, she just feels tacked onto Ordinary Thing.
Nonna doesnt hurt, but she doesnt help, either.
But the feature, recorded under wraps and formally uncredited, shows her loyalty to past collaborators.
It cant touchGrandes best Christmas songs, but both she and Idina Menzel sure do commit to the bit.
Its not gonna change the world, okay?
shetoldVarietyon a red carpet.
Still, its a pleasantly surprising soulful pick-me-up.
In that regard, she succeeds, helping Grande loosen up on one ofPositions more laid-back tracks.
Past that, her verse is clumsy, especially against such a controlled singer as Grande.
Grande laps both singers in her verse, but its all in good fun.
How generous of Grande to grace Who Is Fancy with her presence on his second of two singles.
29.Safety Netwith Ty Dolla $ignIts surprising this meeting ofthe collaborative mindsdidnt happen sooner.
Still, its a capable showing that hits some good harmonies between two singers who know what theyre doing.
Monopoly with Victoria Monet
Victoria Monet was the secret ingredient Grande needed to finally hit No.
1, with her first two No.
1s coming thanks to their songwriting partnership on thank u, next and 7 rings.
They deserved a break.
Arturo Sandoval with Arturo Sandoval and Pharrell22.
Leave Me Lonely with Macy Gray21.
Faith with Stevie Wonder
Throughout her catalogue, Grande has proved she knows how to work with an icon.
Adore with Cashmere CatCashmere Cats second song with Grande showed just how well he understands the singer.
His production on Adore is on a near-constant upward build, challenging Grandes voice to go further and further.
It does, of course.
- blazed with PharrellThe two opening tracks to Grandessweetenertransition you away from the larger-than-life club bangers ofDangerous Woman.
He produced better songs onsweetener, like successful, but blazed should get credit for being the building block.
Let Me Love You with Lil Wayne14.
And they dont get in her way here, unlike on Everyday.
Instead, Grande sounds like a natural.
The Art of Starting Over.
Its a meeting that easily earns a second date.
I cant imagine, though, that they askedwhythe Norwegian producer was on the song.
could be a pop star.
The song wouldnt have been the same bold, sexy hit without him.
Grande sang with conviction, but she let Minaj steal the show and she doesnt do that often.
Grandes Bieber collab Stuck With U landed like a dud, andGagasChromaticarollout had been capital-MMessy.
Then the song came out and washed away our worries.
You cant not smile while listening to them sing to each other.
It was working with Zedd on Break Free, one of Grandes first true attempts at booming club music.
Theyre bringing what the other cant, taking that, then bringing even more.
