260 weeks on the Billboard 200 pushed Olivia Rodrigo's debut album Sour to a half-decade milestone, her longest chart run yet.
Sour slipped from No. 38 to No. 41 this week, while Guts fell from No. 39 to No. 49, keeping both albums in the chart's top quarter despite their age.
On streaming, Sour dropped from No. 39 to No. 46 on Top Streaming Albums, and Guts slid to No. 50; Guts still held top-10 spots on Top Alternative Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums.
The milestone arrives less than a month before Rodrigo's third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, is due June 12 after Hot 100 No. 1 single Drop Dead and new follow-up The Cure.
