ARIANA GRANDE is back with her hottest single yet…

The award-winning and chart-topping multi-platinum singer unleashes "Problem" featuring Iggy Azalea today on iTunes (iTunes.com/ArianaGrande) and all digital retailers. It has vaulted to #1 on iTunes Overall Top Songs Chart in 47 markets including the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Mexico as well as across Scandinavia, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. This makes for one of the fastest #1 single debuts in history, claiming the top spot in less than forty minutes.

Meanwhile, it landed in the Top 5 in 62 markets including Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Hong Kong, Thailand, and more. It's Top 10 in 70 markets.  Preceding the track's debut, it trended on Twitter globally as well.

Produced by and co-written with hit-makers Max Martin and Savan Kotecha  [Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson], the track sees the diva let out a little attitude alongside an unshakable and bouncy hook. In between her powerhouse verses, hip-hop sensation Azalea fires off a snappy and snazzy verse punctuated by slick whispers from none other than Big Sean. This is a good kind of problem to have. Get it here!

GRANDE is everywhere right now. RollingStone.com will premiere the lyric video for "Problem" on April 30. You can also hear her recent interview with Ryan Seacrest about the song right here.

She's also making the rounds at a few awards shows this spring. GRANDE debuted “Problem” live at the Radio Disney Music Awards which aired on the Disney Channel, and she’s also set to perform the song at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on May 1.

However, everything is simply leading up to the release of her highly anticipated second full-length album due out later this summer.

Get ready for things to heat up even more GRANDE in 2014.

ARIANA GRANDE first landed at the top with her first full-length album for Republic Records, Yours Truly. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200, Billboard Digital Albums Chart, and iTunes Overall Albums Chart. Moreover, it yielded the game-changing pop smash "The Way" featuring Mac Miller. One of 2013's defining songs, the single went double-platinum, hit the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and reached #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Songs Chart. In the aftermath, she also received "Favorite Breakout Artist" at the People's Choice Awards 2014 and “Best New Artist” at the American Music Awards in 2013. GRANDE's magnetic charm, impressive voice, and astounding presence have enchanted millions of fans worldwide. Yours Truly merely started her journey to legendary.
