Marjorie Grande: The Oldest Person in the Billboard Hot 100

Ariana Grande and her grandmother, often called "Nonna" due to her Italian roots, had a very close relationship. The pop star frequently shared pictures and videos featuring Marjorie.

Her grandmother also occasionally appeared in Grande's music, most recently in 2024 in her song "Ordinary Things." In the outro of the song, she gives advice about love and married life, saying one should never go to sleep without giving a goodnight kiss, as that is "the worst thing you can do. And if you can't, and if you don't feel comfortable doing it, then you're in the wrong place."

With her guest appearance, she achieved legendary status as the oldest person to appear in the Billboard Hot 100. Marjorie's voice also appears on various other albums, once together with that of her husband Frank, who passed away in 2014.
