Billboard have just announced their 2018 Woman of the Year: Ariana Grande!

Billboard's VP of content, Ross Scarano said, "Ariana Grande is a star on her own terms, never bending to any particular musical trend or path in the industry. Certain in her convictions, she consistently stands up for herself and her decisions in a world that often isn't hospitable to that sort of strength in young women. She's got guts, she's making some of the best music of her career, and she's absolutely deserving of Woman of the Year."

Ariana has claimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart, three times so far. Sweetener scored the largest streaming week ever for a pop album by a female artist upon its release.
The singer tweeted, "thank u for this honor @billboard."
The singer joins a history of icons who have previously taken on the honour as Woman of the Year, including Selena Gomez, Madonna, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift.
Congratulations Ariana Grande!
