Ariana Grande
commands listeners to
“focus on me,” and fans
heard her loud and clear. “Focus,”
the lead single from third album
Moonlight, due in 2016, roars onto the
Billboard Hot 100 at No. 7; launches
at No. 5 on the Digital Songs chart
with 113,000 downloads sold in the
week ending Nov. 5, according to
Nielsen Music; and enters at No. 8
on Streaming Songs with 13.3 million
irst-week U.S. streams.
With “Focus,” her sixth Hot
100 top 10, Grande scores an
unprecedented feat: She is the irst
artist to debut in the top 10 with the
lead single from each of her irst three

albums. Her debut hit, “The Way”
(featuring Mac Miller), began at
No. 10 on April 13, 2013, introducing
her debut LP (and irst Billboard 200
No. 1), Yours Truly. On May 17, 2014,
“Problem” (featuring Iggy Azalea)
soared in at No. 3, setting the stage
for the No. 1 Billboard 200 arrival of
My Everything.
Meanwhile, atop the Hot 100,
Adele reigns for a second week
with “Hello.” Despite its 43 percent
slide from a record-setting 1.11
million irst-week downloads sold,
the ballad moved 635,000 in its
second frame, the third-best digital
sum ever, falling short of Flo Rida’s
“Right Round” (636,000; Feb. 28,
2009) for second place. —GARY TRUST

Before “White Iverson,” you didn’t have
cornrows. What has been the reaction to
the look?
It’s not normal for a white guy to get cornrows; a lot of people judged me. I like the way
it looks, so you have to be confident. If you
like something, rock it. If you want to rock a
—ADELLE PLATON
cape every day, go for it.

The single attracted the attention of
Kanye West, with whom you recently
collaborated. How did that come about?
He sent me a session, so I worked on a song,
and when I went back to Los Angeles we

got into the studio together at Rick Rubin’s
It was the scariest experience ever. Letting
him listen to you record, when he’s sitting
over there and can hear you making weird
noises — it’s intimidating, but he is such a
cool guy.

What was it about NBA star Allen Iverson
that inspired you to name your breakout
hit “White Iverson”?
He was always just the coolest, swaggiest
dude. He had the coolest braids, and all
the cool gear, and he would just cross up
Michael Jordan and step over people. He
didn’t care about anything. He had all the
sauce, and he just snapped on everybody.

Meghan Trainor scores her third
Billboard Hot 100 top 10 (and
featured artist John Legend,
his second) as “Like I’m Gonna
Lose You” rises 13-10. All three
of Trainor’s top 10s are from
her debut album, Title: Her
breakthrough “All About That
Bass” spent eight weeks at No. 1,
while follow-up “Lips Are Movin”
rose to No. 4. Trainor is the first
female artist to generate at least
three Hot 100 top 10s from a
debut set since 2010, when Kesha
collected four, including the nineweek No. 1 “Tik Tok,” from her
—G.T.
debut LP Animal.
