The Ordinary Things track is the final one on her 13-song album, with Nonna closing out the entire album with her thoughts on Ariana’s late grandfather.

‘And when he’d come home, and I’d see him / When he first gets off that train / It was like God almighty arrived / It was like seeing daylight,’ Nonna said in the song.

‘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?’ she added.

Nonna concluded with some sage advice, adding, ‘It 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.’

Ordinary Things debuted at #55 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, solidifying her place in history, dating back to August 4, 1958, when the charts started.

Marjorie broke the record previously held by Fred Stobaugh, who was 96 when “Oh Sweet Lorraine,” hit the Hot 100 for a week in September 2013.

Stobaugh was credited as the writer of the track from Green Shoe Studio and vocalist Jacob Colgan.

While this is the first time Nonna made Billboard history on her granddaughter’s album, it’s not the first time she’s been featured in Ariana’s work.
