Chart History: How Eternal Sunshine Hit No. 1 Three Times
Eternal Sunshine debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 dated March 23, 2024, launching with 227,000 equivalent album units, the largest opening week of 2024 at that point. Grande had previously led the chart with every studio album since Yours Truly in 2013, making Eternal Sunshine her sixth consecutive No. 1 album.
The set contains a pair of chart-toppers on the Billboard Hot 100 in “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love).” Both singles debuted at No. 1, extending Grande’s record as the first artist to debut at No. 1 with her first three Billboard Hot 100 entries.
The Brighter Days Ahead deluxe reissue, released March 28, 2025, returned Eternal Sunshine to No. 1 on the Billboard 200—jumping from No. 87 to the top spot, the largest positional jump since Travis Scott’s Days Before Rodeo vaulted 106 to 1 the previous September. The album claimed its third non-consecutive week at No. 1, becoming Grande’s longest-running No. 1 album on the chart.
Brighter Days Ahead: The Six New Tracks
Released on March 28, 2025, by Republic Records, Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead adds six bonus tracks to the original 13-song album. The new songs cover a range of emotional terrain, from the synth-pop of “Twilight Zone” to the piano-driven closing ballad “Hampstead.”
The six bonus tracks are:
- intro (end of the World) Extended Version
- Twilight Zone
- Warm
- Dandelion
- Past Life
- Hampstead
“Hampstead” is titled after the London area where Grande lived while filming Wicked (2024) and Wicked: For Good (2025). The ballad addresses the media scrutiny she received following her divorce from Dalton Gomez and her relationship with Ethan Slater.
All six tracks from the deluxe edition simultaneously appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 dated April 12, 2025, led by “Twilight Zone” at No. 18.
The Story Behind Eternal Sunshine
Grande described Eternal Sunshine as a concept album rooted in personal experience. The project draws its title from the 2004 Michel Gondry film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which explores erasing painful memories, a theme that runs through the album’s lyrics on heartbreak, vulnerability, and moving forward.
The album arrived after Grande spent nearly two years filming Wicked in London. She co-writes the majority of her material, and her key collaborators on Eternal Sunshine include Max Martin, Tommy Brown, and Victoria Monét. The personal stakes of the writing, touching on divorce, new love, and public scrutiny, gave the record a directness that critics noted across several reviews.

“We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” became the album’s second Hot 100 No. 1. The music video, co-starring actor Penn Badgley and featuring cameos from Brandy and Monica, was released on June 7, 2024. “The Boy Is Mine” followed as the album’s third single, inspired by the 1998 Brandy and Monica duet.
