Oct 30, 2020I’m so impressed, this album got me since the first time I heard it, it brings a wonderful feeling, thanks Ariana for this masterpiece, this is different from everything she has ever done, it's perfect
-
Oct 30, 2020Ariana has matured a lot with her musical work! We can consider it an R&B masterpiece ... With a few hints of explicit lyrics and harmonies with his angel voice! Far from being a POP album, however, an album with a sincere vibe.
-
Oct 30, 2020It's a strong album overall, but it lacks innovation. The lyricism can be kind of redundant sometimes. Compared to her past three albums, 'positions' is definitely the weakest.
-
Oct 30, 2020it's a good album, but the songs look the same. There is nothing very innovative or different on the album, it’s just that album with good songs to listen to while driving.
-
Jun 1, 2021I love how ariana's albums present a certain time in her life, because here in "Positions" we see ariana madly in love not just with someone but herself as she sings about self-love, manifestation, and recurring themes of love. Favorite top 3 tracks on here are "safety net" "obvious" and "pov".
-
Oct 30, 2020this album is very good, the sound, the vocals, ariana showed once again that she is one of the greatest artists today.
-
Oct 30, 2020Aridiosa sepultaste a tus sirvientas sin duda de los mejor aunque los críticos pendejos digan lo contrario
-
Jun 1, 2021Independente do hate que o álbum leva por fanbases vizinhas lol, A Ariana conseguiu trazer um álbum r&b perfeito que envelheceu igual vinho. Letras impecáveis e uma enorme coesão.
-
Jun 1, 2021so good!!! my favs are main thing, love language and safety net but there's honestly no skips for me besides 34 35
-
Jun 1, 2021people hated on this album a lot tbh but I found the harmonies and beats pretty good, it was a typical ari album that I enjoy I feel like she has distinct sound nowadays anyway so people should stop expecting DW 2.0

Oct 31, 2020Her voice is heavenly and the level of comfort she exudes with each song is impressive. This is one that will be remembered as her at her best.
-
Jun 9, 2021"Positions".... what can we say, this album could have been better if Ariana had kept the magic that she used in her previous work. Most of the songs do not make sense and get confused, they sound similar, or like a single and long song
-
Jul 15, 2021Simply the best album of the decade.
It is not overly vibrant as most of the pop albums these days are, and yet doesnt make you wanna sleep. It is simply perfect and makes me daydream each time i listen to it.
Ariana does it again! -

Oct 31, 2020i love r&b and soul ariana is definitely my favourite version of her music her voice really fits the genre
-
Dec 11, 2020Ariana entregou um trabalho muito bom, o seus trabalhos vem transpassando cada vez mais a sua maturidade e você consegue perceber que ela se diverte com eles, eu amo isso.
-
Oct 30, 2020So good! The album of the year, great songs and deserve so much better! GO ARI
-
Oct 30, 2020Amazing! Safety Net and POV are total favourites, it’s such a masterpiece - people only dislike because it’s different, change is good - she’s growing up and her sound is amazing! Those vocals never get old!

Oct 30, 2020Álbum muito bom, com conceito, perfeito, vai ser smash.
Ariana run pop!
Eu amo tanto! -
Oct 30, 2020Eu amei, o meu estilo favorito é R&B eu gosto de escutar músicas calmas e pensar na vida, agradeço a Ariana por não fazer música pop só pra agradar a indústria e sim fazer algo que ela ame e se identifique

Oct 31, 2020It’s amazing to see her growing with every project. This is an amazing continuation to all her previous albums, and ahe has known how to refresh her sound. It sound rich and mature, with a perfect combination of fun songs and deeper ones. It’s like listening to a pop diva from the 80’s-90’s and I love it. I’m so proud of her!!
-
Oct 31, 2020Adorei os refrescos Ariana. O álbum tá maravilhoso e muito gostosinho de ouvir, pode virar as costas pra farofa pq hoje a surra é só na voz.

Nov 1, 2020Such a good album . A masterpiece! I love how she opened the album with shut up . Its so cohesive i love it its just like magic this damn album.
-
Nov 2, 2020One of her best albums! In that one she take us to another level vocally, making us fell like on heaven while we are livin’ this wildest moment in the whole world! She makes everyone smile and feel better.

Nov 5, 2020I love her career as a whole but i dont enjoy this piece of work !! To me this is her worst album alongside sweetner

-
Dec 11, 2020It is an incredible album with soft sounds but that transmit many sensations and no, it is not the same as his past albums.
-
Jun 6, 2021This album is great. The exploration into a more R&B sound fits Ariana, and it shows her maturity and growth as an artist. The tracks all sound different, and they really fit Ariana. Recommendations: "pov", "safety net", "off the table", and "just like magic".
-
Mar 25, 2021Did not like the beats or the music as the lyrics weren't well written, but as always she sounds amazing
-
Mar 21, 2021
-
Mar 26, 2021Not as catchy and immediate as her previews works. But perhaps her most mature album. The vocal production, lead by Ariana herself, shows her talent and how much she does enjoy her work. But the music... it almost seems like a one 40 minutes straight song (not to mention that each song lasts less than 3 minutes... too short). I don't know, I'm not fully convinced.
-
Jun 1, 2021Such a fun, r&b infused album with songs like "safety net" "west side" and "my hair" being my favorite
-
Jul 30, 2021her best album its true. the sound is so perfect for the vibe she was going for and this album is truly so underrated.

Nov 27, 2020No development at all, Ariana is in her comfortable zone, where she knows she’s a great vocalist so she doesn’t put any effort in her music anymore. Disappointed

Nov 29, 2020"Positions" is her worst album, she is staying in a comfort zone, it sounds like a discard from her previous albums...
-
Nov 28, 2020
-
Oct 31, 2020I really love Ari, but this album is not it... I miss her Dangerous Woman era.
-
Oct 30, 2020This album is so amazing omg , i love it so much, Ariana is perfect, she is amazing
-
Oct 30, 2020
-
Oct 30, 2020Lyrics are kind of like the same thing. I still prefer Dangerous Woman and thank u, next over this though.
pov is such a good song too. Definitely my favorite off the album. -
Oct 30, 2020I get the intention of going a more flowy and chill way with her music, I just don’t think she’s there yet. This is not r&b, it’s pop. It sometimes got too simple and repetitive. I think she’s going the right way. The lyrics are REALLY bad
-
Oct 30, 2020Completely mediocre album. The song are nothing but generic and basic, along with easy and unimpressive lyrics. The worst one in her discography
-
Oct 30, 2020I thought this album was actual quite enjoyable for the most part. I did think it needed an extra kick though, it’s an overall mediocre body of work with very few songs i’d go back to. This record didn’t really give me anything I didn’t already get from her previous album & therefore shows no real artistic growth.

Oct 30, 2020I mean we suffer to much because of this pandemic , i don't want to be **** by an album that isnt suited for healing 2020
-
Oct 30, 2020THIS IS HER WORST ALBUM
TOO, TOOOOO BORING !!!!!!!!!!! I´M FALLING ASLEEP, THE SOUNDS ARE THE SAME BEAT. THIS IS A REJECT -
Oct 30, 2020a beautiful album unlike anything she’s ever released before. truly her best album.
-
Oct 30, 2020Very high highs but very low lows. Love Language and pov are excellent and unique songs, while a good portion of the others sound fairly similar with generic beats. Had a lot of potential, but feels rushed.
-
Oct 30, 2020Definetely her worst album so far, the entire album sounds the same and it's really boring. Lyrics are mediocre (of course we can't expect that much from her, she is not a googd lyricist), and her album is the worst disappointment of 2020. Sweetener and Dangerous Woman are her best albums.
-
Oct 30, 2020Oct 30, 2020
Ok, but so boring. It's the same, we need something new, good voice, bad lyrics, boring music -
Oct 30, 2020Horrible album. Such a downgrade from all her previous work. It’s a snooze fest and feels rushed. Save 42 minutes of your life and don’t listen to this trash
-
Oct 30, 2020Could have made a great EP with half of these songs, like real high points 34+35, Just Like Magic, the title track, Love Language and POV, which could all fit in well on her best album, Sweetener. But most of this is low-impact and feels unfinished.

Oct 30, 2020Flop, i didn't like it, so flat, nothing new, awful,........................
-
Oct 30, 2020A skipless album with songs like safety net and my hair is like perfect R&B album in my books love u Ariana thank u for this
-
Oct 30, 2020There are some standout tracks, like safety net, my hair, love language, & pov, but overall the album feel uninspired & bland. A lot of the tracks blend together and don't have memorable aspects. It feels half-baked and rushed out, like Ariana was focusing more on quantity than quality. Not bad, but certainly not as good as thank u, next & sweetener.
-
Oct 30, 2020
-
Oct 30, 2020Has the same mid tempo trap-pop sounds just like her previous two records (More so Thank U Next). It’s getting boring now. Tries to be edgy and new wave with sex.
-
Oct 30, 2020Sounds the same boring monotone. not r&b at all sounds boring and not what a disney star would do
-
Oct 30, 2020She took a step back with this album... I thought she can’t make worse album than Sweetener but here we are.
-
Oct 30, 2020Not that it's bad, but the album sounds more like a big 42-minute song is 14 seconds. Positions the only one we can venture to say is different.
-
Oct 30, 2020En si el álbum no es malo, pero cuando sale un álbum tan rapido esperas algo diferente y no algo que parezca lo mismo que antes has lanzado, deberia esforzarse un poco mas en hacer cosas nuevas aunque se tarde mas.
-
Oct 30, 2020É um álbum ruim. Não entendo como sendo umas das cantoras mais influentes e com um grande time consegue ter letras tão ruins. Saudades da época do DW e ME.
-
Oct 30, 2020Ariana continues to create amazing bodies of work. Never the same, always creative with lyrics, truly a one of a kind artist.
-
Oct 30, 2020R&B perfection, i love it, this is so glamorous and fancy. Thank u angel voice
-
Oct 30, 2020With fluidity and consistency, Ariana Grande presents her 6th studio album, Positions. Rooting from a fun, carefree place she dives deep into her more personal desires. I find this album sonically pleasing with hints of jazz, electropop, disco, and mainly rnb. A great album for the free minded :)

Oct 30, 2020It doesn't feel like a great album for me. The lead single was fine but I don't see any song as a possible hit. The lyrics are quite basic and all the songs sound similar, which is not necessarily bad but in this case it makes the album boring.
-
Nov 3, 2020Um fracasso, um horror anunciado, sinceramente quem colocou na cabeça dessa Mc Mirella estadunidense lançar uma bomba atômica dessas? quando eu penso que ela pode fracassar mais ela fracassa, sinceramente. sem palavras pro baixo escalão de artista que essa fungo varginal tem!
-
Oct 31, 2020positions is the only bop song on the album, motive is kinda bop because doja's verse. the rest of the album is boring and sounds like ariana's old discography
-
Oct 30, 2020r&b perfection
if anyone says it's a "bad pop album" is absolutely idiotic since they completely missed the genre of this masterpiece!
west side, safety net, pov and many more are personal favorites. -
Oct 30, 2020
-
Oct 30, 2020This is an incredible album, sensual and great vibes, i believe it's one of the best of this year
-
Oct 30, 2020Only wish she had a bop like 7 rings on the tracklist. Otherwise Positions is AMAZING.
-
Oct 30, 2020Some tracks of this album, for example “pov” and “nasty” are for the books, but alot of the songs on this album are mainly fillers/skips. I do think that the album doesn’t deserve the hate that it’s receiving though.
-
Oct 30, 2020So generic and nothing new. Boring and is pure pop with r&b elements yet her fans wanna call it "r&b" sis..
-
Oct 30, 2020breathtaking album. absolutely beautiful. she really topped herself with this one. this for sure her most mature album.
-
Oct 30, 2020This piece of work really shows what Ariana tried to do from the beginning of her career. This is meant for R&B and this album is the living proof. She finally found her style.
-
Jun 1, 2021A great body of work that I constantly catch myself going back to and listening to
-
Oct 30, 2020Ok, but so boring. It's the same, we need something new, good voice, bad lyrics, boring music
-
Oct 30, 2020This album looks like it was made in less than 24 hours with all the unreleaseads and demos Ariana have been keeping in the drawer for the past 4 years. Completely forgettable, mediocre and identical to her last albums. Silly lyrics, generical instrumentals and no identity at all.
Awards & Rankings
-
Dec 2, 2020Grande is making no effort to be discreet, instead explicitly owning her sexuality—the album is called Positions, after all. The juxtaposition of beautiful violin sounds and risqué lyrics has become one of Grande’s signature sounds, and it suits her well.
-
Nov 9, 2020Grande laid bare may well be seen as a stopgap in her canon, using taboo to checkmate her past trauma, but it does pull off the rare feat of at least sounding effortless.
-
Nov 5, 2020With little conflict and few psychological insights, Positions zeroes in on the enviable confidence that only pop stars on top of the world and with nothing to lose can afford. It's easy to write it off as empty calories, but pop has always been described in such terms: cake, candy, chocolate, confection. Positions isn't a "sweetener" but pure sugar.
