Ariana Grande’s brother, Frankie has dropped his Spotify wrapped results, and fans are loving this ‘supportive brother’.
Wicked has only just come out and already, fans have flocked to add the entirety of its soundtrack to their playlists.
You’ve got 'Popular', you’ve got 'Defying Gravity'- it’s practically a musical dream.
While us lot have been strutting around listening to the songs in a detached way, it turns out that Frankie has been fully living in his best brother era.

Grande, whose lifelong dream of playing Glinda in Wicked has come true, has been on a press tour like no other, which has had its fair share of viral moments, including THAT interview where she and co-star Cynthia Erivo 'hold space' for the lyrics of one song.
If my brother was in Wicked, I’d probably shrug and see it just to say that I’ve seen him on film, but Frankie is the sibling we all wished we were.
Not only was he at the family party to watch the screening with his sister, but he also has filled all of his Spotify rankings with her musical hits.
Frankie captured the family get-together, which shows the pair surrounded by their family members in a new selfie.
He probably knew that this was a moment that she had been waiting for since 2011 when she posted the now-iconic tweet: "Loved seeing Wicked again... amazing production! Made me realise again how badly I want 2 play Glinda at some point in my life! #DreamRole."
Let’s be honest, her portrayal of Glinda was fantastic, and nobody can say otherwise.
For Frankie, her songs were also fantastic, as his video showing his ranked music for the year placed Popular at number one, before being followed by Defying Gravity.
Fans loved the knowledge that he was supporting his sister above and beyond, and they took to Instagram to share their glee.
One person said: “We loveeee a supportive brother.”
Another wrote: “her biggest supporter. so sweet.”
Someone else commented: “The support you give to your sister is amazing, it reminds me of my brother and how he’d go to the end of the world for me if he had to.
Just know, us baby sisters appreciate this more than you know”.
Not only has her brother been supporting her, but so has her boyfriend and Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater, who portrays munchkin Boq.
Grande began dating him after they bonded on set.
A source told People: "It was obvious on the set from early on ... they were very sweet to each other and often seen laughing together."
They added: "Everyone just thought they were both happily married though and didn’t expect them to end up dating."
Despite all of the rumours surrounding their relationship, sources claimed that the two didn't embark on a romantic relationship until their marriages had ended.
In an interview with TooFab, Frankie shared: "I love [Slater], he's a very sweet guy. I've been a fan of him ever since seeing him in SpongeBob [the musical].
"And I got to interview him when I was doing the SpongeBob SquarePants podcast. And the Broadway community is a tight-knit family."
He continued: "He's a great guy. Ethan's a wonderful guy."
