Olivia Rodrigo’s new album has pushed Drake off the top spot on the Billboard 200, ending his four-week run.

The singer’s third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, opened at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 485,000 equivalent album units in the United States for the week ending June 18. The figure stands as the largest debut week of 2026 by any soloist.

Released June 12 via Geffen Records, the album unseated Drake's Iceman after four consecutive weeks at the summit. Drake's project fell to No. 2 with 105,000 units, a 21 percent drop from the prior week.

The 485,000-unit haul surpasses Rodrigo's own career high and eclipses Iceman's first-week total of 463,000 units, which had previously been the biggest solo debut of the year. Pre-release tracking services had projected around 470,000 units; the final confirmed count cleared that mark.

Physical sales drove much of the performance. The album shifted 273,000 copies in traditional sales — her best-ever sales week and the largest for a woman in 2026 — boosted by more than 15 physical versions, including two signed editions. Vinyl alone accounted for 164,000 of those purchases, her biggest vinyl week on record.

Streaming added another 211,000 SEA units, representing approximately 218.41 million on-demand official streams, the largest streaming week by a woman in 2026. The album debuted at No. 1 on both the Top Album Sales and Top Streaming Albums charts.

The international picture was equally dominant. The record landed atop the U.K. Official Albums Chart dated June 19 with 103,000 chart units, the biggest opening week for an international album in Britain this year, according to Billboard. That figure more than doubled the U.K. debuts of both Sour (51,000) and Guts (60,000). The album also opened at No. 1 on the ARIA Chart in Australia, where all 13 tracks placed inside the country's top 30.

"Thank you so much for this Number 1 album award," Rodrigo said of the U.K. honor. "I wrote so many of these songs in the U.K., so it makes it extra special. Thank you all for listening. I appreciate it so much. I can't wait to put this on my mantle!"

Each of Rodrigo's three debut weeks has outpaced the last: Sour opened at 295,000 units in 2021, Guts at 302,000 in 2023, and the new album at 485,000.

Rodrigo is gearing up for The Unraveled Tour that kicks off on Sept. 25 in Hartford. The trek is and is currently scheduled to run through at least May 10, 2027, in London.
