Ariana Grande's latest achievement is that her new album, My Everything, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. According to Billboard, this makes her "the first woman to debut at No. 1 with her first two albums since 2010." (The honor was previously held by Britian's Got Talent's Susan Boyle.) Grande's previous album, Yours Truly, was released Aug. 30, 2013 while My Everything was released Aug. 22, 2014.
Grande's achievement will surely elicit some predictable wordplay, about how she "broke free" and is now breaking records. But, hey, the songstress deserves it. Now that the 21-year-old's star power is backed by the numbers, it's time to highlight her less official — but still important — achievements. Ahead, see all the awards Grande has earned (or should at least be recognized for) this past year.

Most Meta Pop Culture Videos
Given her current star power, it’s safe to say that Grande is an active participant in the making of pop culture right now. But, Grande also reminds us that she’s a consumer. As such, her pop videos are meta tributes to pop culture, and pay homage to the pop symbols that preceded her. One obvious example from her “Break Free” video… Katy Perry, anyone?
