Last month, the song, \"ordinary things (feat. Nonna),\" from Grande's seventh studio album, \"eternal sunshine,\" debuted at No. 55 on the Hot 100 chart.

In the song, Nonna shares some words of wisdom on love and reflecting on her relationship with Grande's grandfather.

She says: \"And when he'd come home, and I'd see him / When he first gets off that train (is it difficult?) / It was like God almighty arrived, it was like seeing daylight / I mean, I could've packed up and left a million times, you know?\"

\"It's not that we never fought, you can overcome that, you know? / It-it's very easy, and as I told her / Never go to bed without kissin' goodnight / That's the worst thing to do, don't ever, ever do that / and if you can't, and if you don't feel comfortable doing it / You're in the wrong place, get out,\" she continues in her message.

The previous record holder for the senior most artist with a song on the chart was the late Fred Stobaugh, who was 96 when he was featured on the song, \"Oh Sweet Lorraine.\" The song charted at No. 42 on the Hot 100.

Since Grande released \"eternal sunshine\" in March, the album has been on the Billboard 200 chart for five weeks.
