Chart Milestone: Second Week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200
Olivia Rodrigo’s third studio album, *You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love*, stayed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a second week (July 4, 2026). It earned 180,000 equivalent album units, a 63 % drop from the debut week’s 485,000 units, the largest weekly total for any soloist in 2026.
First-Time No. 1 on the Top Streaming Albums Chart
In the same week the album topped Billboard’s Top Streaming Albums chart for the first time, recording 132,500 streaming-equivalent album (SEA) units, equal to 137.14 million official streams.
Background and Historical Context
Rodrigo’s earlier albums, *Sour* (2021) and *Guts* (2023), each debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 but did not stay there for multiple weeks. Both also charted on Top Streaming Albums—*Sour* peaked at No. 26, *Guts* at No. 3 in April 2024. Each remained on that streaming chart for more than a year (57 weeks for *Sour*, 64 weeks for *Guts*). Rodrigo’s current two-week streak makes her the first solo female artist since the late 1980s to achieve consecutive weeks at the summit; the last similar run spanned September 1988 to February 1989, when albums by Def Leppard, Guns N’ Roses, Bon Jovi, U2, Anita Baker and Bobby Brown each held the summit for multiple weeks.
Core Statistics
The album’s second-week performance comprised 180,000 total units, including 132,500 SEA units (137.14 million streams), 47,500 pure sales (down 83 %), and the remaining TEA units. In the top-10, Drake’s *ICEMAN* held No. 2 with 90,000 units, Ella Langley’s *Dandelion* was No. 3 with 84,000, and Michael Jackson’s *Thriller* sat at No. 6 with 53,000 units.
Official Data Verification: Luminate’s Role
Luminate, Billboard’s data partner, reviews all sales, streaming and track-equivalent submissions. The firm authenticates the data and, with Billboard, removes any entries deemed suspicious or unverifiable before final calculations. Luminate counts a paid or subscription stream as 1,000 plays and an ad-supported stream as 2,500, each equating to one SEA unit.
Impact on Rodrigo’s Career and Billboard History
The dual achievement adds to Rodrigo’s tally of chart-topping releases. She now leads both the Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts with the same album, doubling her genre-specific No. 1s and underscoring sustained commercial strength across sales and streaming.
