"positions" was released on October 23, 2020, as the lead single from her 6th studio album of the same name.
The song topped over 10 charts WW (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland...) and it was the 2nd biggest Mainstream Top 40 hit in the US last year.
It moved 14M units WW, has more than 1B streams on Spotify and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance.

the way she had everyone gagged... can't believe it's been 2 years already. time flies. I still like this a lot, but I return to "motive," "my hair" and "safety net" more, as well as the two other singles "34+35 (remix)" and "pov."  |

^ Agreed. At first it was a bit of a grower, but it didn't take long for me to go from liking it to loving it. Still sounds great and has aged well.

Funny enough I don't think it has really set in how big of a hit this was for Ariana, it's tied with TUN for most weeks in the Hot 100 Top 10 for her (17 weeks). It was in pop's Top 10 from November 2020 to almost June 2021, it was the 2nd biggest pop hit of 2021 and ended at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 Year-End for 2021. Absolutely monster hit.
Personally I still really like this track, I don't revisit much from the album but this track is still on repeat.

It's done really well in the long run as well with over 1 billion streams on spotify and the music video is sitting at ~461 million views on youtube - which is really good considering the massive decline in youtube views for western artists over the last few years or so. Really like this still. Certainly wasn't what I expected when it was released. |

Just about the only decent song on its parent album, which is her laziest effort by far.

This one took a little while to grow on me, but I like this! It's better than "34+35" IMO.

I like it a lot, it's a very good, catchy song, but I rarely listen to it anymore.

I can't be the only one who realized years after it was a hit that the production sounds like the Mii Channel music at a slightly faster tempo, right?

took a bit to grow on me, but I ended up loving it and still do! Going with the new trendy string-based trap made for an excellent song

Won't skip it when it comes on in shuffle! Loved the production.

This grew on me a lot over time. It may be my favorite lead single from her.
