In the decade-plus since Ariana Grande released her debut album, she has emerged as one of music's most powerful voices.
The 30-year-old singer-songwriter has broken chart records and racked up streaming numbers with her potent blend of pop, R&B, soul, and '90s diva-worthy vocals.
Business Insider's senior music reporter ranked all seven of her studio albums from worst to best. The unique scoring method assigns a point total to each song — weighing factors like listenability, ingenuity, and lyrical quality — divided by the total number of songs on each tracklist.
(Note: Grande's 2015 EP, "Christmas + Chill," and 2019 live album, "K Bye for Now," were not factored into these rankings.)
