Nov 27, 2020an album that didn't receive the recognition it should have by the critics. Ariana, i'm super proud and i loved this one. although it isn't as cohesive as your last two albums, it has zero skips. loved it.
-
Oct 30, 2020Creo que es el álbum más maduro que ha hecho Ariana, tiene desde letras explícitas deliciosas y otras que te llegan a tocar el corazón. No esperaba mucho de este álbum, me dió mucho más de lo que pensé.
-
Nov 5, 2020I love love love Positions! It’s an amazing record, reminds me of sweetener (another amazing record). The only problem I have with it is that there are some skips. “shut up” and “six thirty” are very forgettable. OTHER THAN THAT, I love it!

Oct 30, 2020The vocals are the best . There’s a magical mix between thank you next and sweetener vibes in terms of production .
-
Oct 30, 2020Not her usually pop! It’s a new era for her and many weren’t ready. There were very little mediocre songs but there was a few. Overall an amazing album

Oct 30, 2020good album, i think to this day one of her best album for me personally. :)
-
Oct 30, 202010 out of ten, personally i'm a big fan of rnb and jazzy music. And this album radiates the perfect vibes. The lyrics also more maturw than previous project, production especially vocal layerring pop off
-
Oct 30, 2020There is the important thing, it is not how long you have been in the fandom, if not knowing that his greatest inspiration was Mariah Carey and Aretha Franklin, one of his favorite genres is R&B and with this album he wanted to do things well, that's why it's a mix from the minimal r & b and pop of those golden ages.
-
Oct 30, 2020This album is great it is very cohesive, I don't particularly like the HUGE number of composers in the songs, however it is very well produced Ariana's vocals are great and the lyrics are very mature (better than thank u, next), best song is my hair (it reminded me a lot of Mariah Carey in the 2000s) and the worst is love language is not a memorable track.
-
Oct 30, 2020This album is unlike any music Ariana has produced and released before. Her vocals throughout the album do not disappoint and her lyrics contain so much emotion and experience. For some, if may be repetitive and it may need to grow on some, but its not like her general pop records and it introduces lots of R&B elements. This album is impeccable. A cultural reset.

Oct 30, 2020I personally think it is a solid album. I don't understand the amount of hate this album gets. It may not be her traditional sound but I love it. Coming from someone who isn't an Ariana fan.

Oct 30, 2020I love this album, one of the best of 2020, the diversity, everything. This album is what i really wanted from Ariana, my favorites are west side, 34+35, motive, my hair.

Oct 30, 2020Es un álbum muy bueno, explora más el género R&B, se despega levemente del pop. De repente podría parecer plano, pero realmente entre más lo escuchas, lo terminas amando. Le doy 9 ya que hay una canción que aún no termino de entender.
-
Nov 27, 2020her mind... UGH it amazes me sometimes. the lyrical content, the harmonies, definitetly her most mature album to date.
-
Oct 31, 2020We can see how much she’s matured in all the senses. The vocals are amazing as always and the lyrics are incredible
-
Oct 31, 2020Amazing job!!!!!! Grande is an incredible songwriter and singer, congratulations for her.

Oct 31, 2020This album is a big change of big Ariana, although it is not the genre that many believed, the songs have good melodies, could mix in a certain way every melody without losing the rhythm, it is a great album
-

Nov 2, 2020obably none of us were expectin this kind of style, cause she's more of a pop-ish singer, but this caught my 5 senses. the vocals are amazing and im pretty sure we havent seen ariana like this in a looong time. probably if you are gradin this from a pop-ish pov is not the best thing ariana has made, but as a R&B album this is beautiful.
-
Nov 2, 2020a beautiful new sound and fresh kind of rnb, the emotion thru this album is so undefeatable.., the lyrical content just so catchy and also the tracklist that kinda tell a story., makes this album so amazing and yep that's what i think
-
Nov 3, 2020It’s one of Ariana’s excellent work. That r&b vibe suits her well & her vocals are magnificent.
-

-
Nov 4, 2020Incredible work, tied for my favorite Grande album with The Dangerous Woman album
-
Nov 6, 2020Los volcals de este álbum y las armonías simplemente te llevan a otro mundo.
-
Dec 14, 2020She’s made better albums but it is very fitting for this year. Quite down tempo tracks. Very mellow but it works. The collaborations on the album are quite bad and thats simply why it doesn’t get the 10. My Hair, POV & Obvious are amazing and sound so well crafted and written.
-
Nov 12, 2020as for me the strongest track- positions, the album is not so bad, but ”thank u next” love forever
-
Nov 25, 2020This is one of the best albums Ariana had, her vocals here are amazing as always and has a very nice production too, and a lot of catchy lyrics, it’s perfect
-
Nov 27, 2020Positions is a really good album. The album is supposed to be a chill quarantine album and Ariana nailed that aspect of it.

Dec 11, 2020Para ser un album no tan bailable,me gusto mucho, hay canciones donde Ariana se abre sobre sus sentimientos como en Pov o en Off the table,al igual que canciones muy explicitas como 34+35 o Nasty,definitivamente va a mi top 3 de albumes de Ariana
-
Dec 11, 2020really appreciate that she tried something new. the album has actually some really good songs like the singles, pov and a few more songs the rest of the album tho is kinda simple and nothing memorable.
-
Dec 24, 2020I feel like Ariana on this album experiences sounds that are not so new but she brings them back from herself and that's what makes Positions so attractive and doesn't decay
-
Mar 19, 2021es maravilloso, cada cancion se conecta entre si y cada una tiene algo que la distingue, es un album casi perfecto.
-
Mar 19, 2021Positions is clearly an album about growth and finding happiness after so much problems that Ariana Grande been trough. This may be a pop album, but we can see the R&B inspired on the instrumentals and on the vocals. All together it sounds like heaven.
My congratulations to this amazing album. -
Mar 20, 2021I wrote a long one but it didn’t save and I am not typing it all again. 8.5 rounded up to 9 shut and just like magic suck and is the worse one safety net it the best. vocals are good as always motive and my hair grew on me and overall is a good album oh yeah and sex who ever did it with her that made her write a whole album on how good you are at sex must be god that’s all
-
Mar 21, 2021i really liked it ,her second best album in my opinion. Defenetly will be in my playlist.

May 25, 2021Este álbum es un nuevo capítulo de Ariana Grande cuyos sonidos R&B contemporáneo calmado que refleja el estado de su vida actual. Después de Thank U, Next donde se ve una Ariana dolida por todo lo sufrido en un cierto periodo de su carrera, Positions da un aire fresco a su música y también a su vida amorosa.
-
Aug 2, 2021Such a mature album, we absolutely love when Ariana explores rnb ans shows her vocal range ! I'd say this is my favorite project from hers... such good vibes
-
Nov 4, 2021This album is a piece of Art, Ariana is one of the iconic artists of our generation, this work is one of the most private and is very special for the fans.
-
Nov 10, 2021She recorded a r'n'b album, probably for attract future listeners. These risks are a yes for me, the production is perfect for her angel voice, congrats Ariana!

Oct 23, 2022her most maturing album sonically, but some of the tracks are way to short. Vocally may be her best work yet, but not enough to get a 10 review.

Oct 24, 2022Um album muito bem produzido, porem creio que nem todo mundo irá gostar, mas sim e muito bom
-
Feb 21, 2023One of her best albums to date! she delved into genres that she really wanted to previously, and as a whole sounds perfect. some of my favourites came from the deluxe of the album. worst behaviour is EXACTLY what i've ever wanted from her in one song
-
Aug 20, 2021Amazing productions with stunning vocals are a sum up of this R&B album. Ariana comes to show the peace she was looking for on thank u, next. She is there! Finally getting over traumas, and falling in love.
-
Dec 11, 2020Ariana made another piece of work that is different from what she did before and, with some R&B vibes, Positions serves some vocals that, for example, Thank U Next didn't! Ariana proves, once again, the great singer / artist she is!
-
Oct 30, 2020
-
Oct 30, 2020It's not bad, a lot of the tracks are very much like her old work and the lyrics aren't very good. But there are some great highlights, Love Language, My Hair, West Side
-
Oct 30, 2020Safety net implora para ser single. Nem todas as músicas solos me cativaram mas destaco Just like magic que tem uma boa batida
-

Oct 30, 2020Stunning, her growth over the years make me absolutely emotional, my number #1 inspiration of all time!!
-

Sep 1, 2021Different sound from Ariana, it's nice to see her exploring different genres. Very enjoyable overall.
-
Oct 30, 2020Not his best album, but still really good.
The best song it's definitely Off The Table -
Oct 30, 2020A strong album with a few skips for me personally like "shut up" and "34+35" but also contains some of her best songs to date like "love language" "safety net" and "pov"
-
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 31, 2020I think it's really good. It's better than Thank U Next for me. It's Ariana's best album (together with Sweetener), I think it's a really good album.
-
Oct 30, 2020it’s such an sensual and honest experience! this album makes you move! it’s a true bop, i love it!
-
Oct 30, 2020Great Album. Love Arianas voices. Some songs have repetive hooks. That’s my only complaint. Great overall, top 3 overall are off the table, shut up, and this is magic
-
Nov 2, 2020Ariana está redescobrindo o amor. Depois de tanta dor, o processo de cura de Grande resulta em um álbum gostoso e relaxante de se ouvir. Com altos e baixos (bem menos baixos), Ariana entrega a qualidade vocal de sempre, com bons arranjos, ainda que não se arrisque tanto quanto fez em Sweetener, mas particularmente prefiro os pés no chão que Positions oferece.
-
Oct 31, 2020Algunas canciones son aburridas y un poco decepcionantes pero la mayoría son arte ♡
-
Dec 11, 2020Ariana surely belted out notes that the angels can hear in the heavens, except the angels have heard that same style in her last 2 albums. This style suits her well, but it's one of her weakest bodies of work.
-
Dec 13, 2022
-
Oct 30, 2020Here Ariana’s dreamy vocals intertwine perfectly with the string-influenced instrumentals. The songs perpetuate the feeling of being in love and I get emotional just listening to them. Though a few of these songs are not her greatest feats of lyricism, the good greatly outweighs the bad, and the lyrics that aren’t as complex are often wonderfully playful and affectionate.
-
Oct 30, 2020Sin duda alguna es un álbum con un tono y desenvolvimiento vocal exquisito pero en algunas canciones perdido en instrumentales o beats que no van de la mano con la letra o frase a expresar. Un álbum experimental que da lugar a su crecimiento como artista (sea o no tan bueno) abriendo paso a una nueva faceta en su carrera.
-
Oct 30, 2020Critics are on crack i swear Albeit this album isn't as good as Tun but it's 10 times better than the incorrigible **** mess that is sweetener.
-
Oct 30, 2020Only wish she had a bop like 7 rings on the tracklist. Otherwise Positions is AMAZING.

Oct 30, 2020The tracks mix into a repackage version of "thank u, next". Although, the lyrics represent different POVs

Oct 30, 2020The album sounds rush and has a touch of normalcy. Nonetheless she doesn't failed to serve solid tracks and we'll produced material. Hands down.
-
Oct 30, 2020not her best work but still not bad tbh expected a little more for ag6 it's really cohesive tho
best songs on the album for me are 34+35,pov, obvious and motive
it's kinda this pop/rnb thing and I wish she just went the full rnb way I think she would do it really well still a good solid album -
Oct 31, 2020While the album delivers an array of feelings complemented by a mellow and sexy tone in Ariana's voice, it considerably lacks cohesion and structure. It is structurally and productively comparable to Dangerous Woman, though it is definitely not Ariana's most vocally exploitative work.
-
Oct 31, 2020well, something different - strings! in think she evolves in a good way. you can hear, she is healing, and loving.
-
Oct 31, 2020Personally, this is a grower and gets better after each listen. It’s something different, however, a lot of the songs sound very similar. Saying that, a majority of the lyrics are great and her vocals are insane. The meaning behind the album is amazing but at the moment, Dangerous Woman, Sweetener and Thank U, Next still remain my top 3 albums.
-
Oct 31, 2020
-
Nov 1, 2020Its a good album at all, but it could be more. Some songs dont have any sauce, like, it's her 6 album, why she still posting songs without sauce??
-
Nov 19, 2020Es un álbum variado, con el mismo toque distintivo de ariana, sigue el estilo de TUN con un poco de cambio, tiene buenas canciones como pov al igual que tiene canciones un poco simples como motive, pero en general es un buen álbum sin mucho cambio.
-
Nov 21, 2020Son muy buenas las notas que nos da en este album, pero es un poco aburrido.
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.
