Chart Topper
The singer bested Drake for the highest album sales week of 2026 for a solo artist
Olivia Rodrigo‘s new album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking her third No. 1 LP and her biggest sales week ever. It was also largest week of 2026 for any album by a soloist, meaning You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love outperformed Drake’s Iceman.
Rodrigo’s album sold 485,000 units in the United States in the week ending June 18, according to Billboard. By comparison, Drake sold 463,000 for Iceman in May. Drake has held the No. 1 spot since then for four weeks, only to be knocked down by Rodrigo.
In 2021, Rodrigo earned the No. 1 album spot with her debut, Sour, and she followed the success in 2023 with Guts. You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love is her third full-length LP. It features 13 tracks, including a stunning duet with the Cure’s Robert Smith. The album’s flagship single, “Drop Dead,” went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, as did its follow-up, “The Cure.”
