Bad Bunny officially has the No. 1 album in the country.

The Puerto Rican rapper’s sixth studio album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos (I Should Have Taken More Photos), climbed to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 album chart for the week ending Jan. 16, making it his fourth chart-topping album, Billboard reports.

Albums are usually released on Fridays as Billboard tracks sales from Fridays to Thursdays. However, Bad Bunny opted to release his new LP on Sunday Jan. 5. With two less days worth of streaming and digital sales, Lil Baby bested Benito’s new album with the deluxe edition of his WHAM album for the top spot on last week's chart.

For Debí Tirar Más Fotos’ first full tracking week, the album earned 203,500 equivalent album units from 264.03 million on-demand streams. The album’s SEA (streaming equivalent album) units accounted for 195,000 of its total, traditional album sales contributed 7,500 units, while TEA (track equivalent album) units comprised 1,000 units.

The Spanish-language album is now the first mostly non-English-language album to reach No. 1 in 2025 and the sixth Spanish-language album ever to top the chart.

It also recorded the largest streaming week for any album since Kendrick Lamar’s GNX (379.72 million on the Dec. 7, 2024 chart) and the largest streaming week for a Latin music album since Benito’s career-defining album, Un Verano Sin Ti, in 2022.

Trailing behind is Taylor Swift with her Lover: Live from Paris album, which reentered the chart at the No. 2 spot with 202,500 equivalent album units thanks to a vinyl reissue and digital downloads on her webstore. The album was not made available on streaming services nor any digital retailer outside of Swift’s webstore.

Rounding out the top 5 on the Billboard 200 includes SZA’s SOS at No. 3 with 102,000 equivalent album units, Kendrick Lamar’s GNX at No.4 with 64,000 units, Lil Baby’s WHAM at No. 5 with 55,000 units.

The remainder of the top 10 includes Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet, Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft, the Wicked film soundtrack, Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time, and Gracie AbramsThe Secret of Us, respectively.
