Ariana Grande is showing no signs of slowing down with the songstress teasing fans with her impending second album although she may have some competition on her hands as ex-boyfriend Nathan Sykes has hinted at his plans to go solo following The Wanted's split and just weeks after it was confirmed the pop stars had ended their romance.
Scooter Braun, who manages Ariana, Nathan and also Justin Bieber, shared the exciting news last night that Ariana, 20, is currently at number one in Japan with her debut album 'Yours Truly,' writing on Twitter: “Wow!! @ArianaGrande album is #1 in Japan and ties the record for highest charting debut album by an international female artist ever!”
The 'Tattooed Heart' singer replied by dropping a massive hint that she's in the process of recording the album's follow-up, tweeting: “Now let's let them hear this second album.” She later added: “Music is therapeutic. I think [guitar] strings are the prettiest sound in the world.”
Ariana wasn't the only one with music on her mind though, as 'Glad You Came' singer Nathan also tweeted earlier today: “Today is a day for making music.”
Perhaps Nathan wanted to prove to his ex that he's also moving forward with their split, which is reported to have happened before Christmas. Ariana is said to have confirmed the end of their romance last month in an interview with US DJ Showbiz Shelly, saying: “We broke up a little while ago, but he’s a really good friend.
“He’s so talented. I am so glad to met him and have a friend like him in my life. He’s an amazing person. It was very civil. It was mutual.”
She added: “He’s such a great person. I adore him and he’s so talented.”
That's not all Nathan has been forced to contend with in recent weeks after his boy band The Wanted announced that they would be temporarily going their separate ways after their next tour, to pursue other projects.
Following the official announcement, Nathan posted a message on Instagram which read: “Thank you to everyone for all of your lovely messages.
“We have had the most fun and every moment is down to you guys! However, I must take this moment to say that nobody is to blame for any decision we have come to and we are so grateful to everyone who has helped us along the way. I can't wait for the tour to celebrate everything The Wanted has achieved and to see you all in the future!! Much love.”
