Verdict: False

Singer Harry Styles was the first person to achieve this goal. Singer Taylor Swift was the first female to achieve this goal.

Fact Check:

Social media users are claiming Grande is the first person to debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Billboard 200, and the U.S. Box Office in the same calendar year. One user wrote, “ariana grande is set to become the first person in history to debut at #1 on the billboard hot 100, billboard 200, and the US box office in the same calendar year following the success of ‘eternal sunshine’ & ‘wicked.'”

The claim is false as Grande is not the first person to achieve this goal. If she was, media outlets would have covered it, yet none have.

In 2022,Styles became the first person to debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Billboard 200, and the U.S. Box Office in the same calendar year. In 2023, Swift became the first female to debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Billboard 200, and the U.S. Box Office in the same calendar year.
