Summary
485,000 equivalent album units sent Olivia Rodrigo’s “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love” to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, giving her a third chart-topping album.
15 physical variants helped drive the opening, including 164,000 vinyl units — Rodrigo’s biggest vinyl week and the largest 2026 week by a woman.
The debut is Rodrigo’s biggest album launch yet, topping the 295,000-unit start for “Sour” and 302,000 for “Guts,” and marking the biggest week this year for any solo artist.
Drake’s “Iceman” fell to No. 2 after four weeks atop the chart, while Ella Langley’s “Dandelion” slipped to No. 3; Rodrigo’s release was the week’s only new top-10 entry.
The album follows the No. 1 single “Drop Dead” and No. 5 hit “The Cure” as Rodrigo prepares to launch her “Unraveled” tour in Hartford on Sept. 25.
