　　(2016·山东日照市高三模拟)So far，this year’s global music market has definitely been dominated (支配) by women：Beyonce Knowles，Taylor Swirl，and Iggy Azalea are all making waves.And one hot name that adds more conviction to the list is US singer Ariana Grande.

　　$来&源：gkxx.comAlmost exactly a year ago，Grande released her first album，Yours Truly.And over the past 12 months，the 21­year­old former Nickelodeon (an American TV channel for kids and adolescents) star has transformed from a pop artist you might recognize to an outstanding superstar.She now possesses three top 10 singles in the current Billboard Hot 100 chart，an impressive opening performance at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards，and millions of followers on social networking sites.

　　Her second album，My Everything，which was released on Aug 25，is the latest sign of her

　　coming dominance.It hit No.1 on the Billboard 200 album chart this week，making her the only other female singer after Scotland’s Susan Boyle to have two continuous No.1 albums in a single year.

　　Grande’s strength lies in her powerful voice and wide voiced range.Unlike her companions Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato，Grande’s star power is rooted in the fact that she can really sing.More importantly，Grande knows how to control her voice，which is at once strong and sensitive，and use it to expand her musical territory.
