The latest result adds another milestone to an album campaign that began with one of the biggest opening weeks of 2026. You seem pretty sad for a girl so in love launched with 485,000 equivalent album units, the biggest debut of Rodrigo’s career and the largest opening week by a female act this year. It followed with 180,000 units in its second week, giving Olivia Rodrigo her first album to spend its first two weeks at No. 1. Neither Sour nor Guts managed that consecutive-week achievement after debuting atop the chart.
Streaming helped establish the album’s early dominance. Its first seven days generated 401.7 million Spotify streams, the fifth-biggest opening streaming week ever for a female artist on the platform. Olivia Rodrigo has continued to support the era with new material and live appearances, including the August release of “Serena Joy,” the launch of her Daisy Chain Fields Festival and the September start of her Unraveled Tour. Last month, she also released an “Expectations” remix featuring Chappell Roan.
ILLIT, meanwhile, reaches a new career high as BREAK EVEN debuts at No. 6 with 37,000 equivalent album units. The arrival marks the group’s first Billboard 200 top 10 and its fifth chart entry overall. Its previous best was No. 26, achieved by Mamihlapinatapai in May, making the new album a substantial leap for the K-pop act.
The rest of the top 10 also saw several notable moves. Michael Jackson’s Thriller climbs from No. 13 to No. 2 with 55,000 units, an 89% increase fueled by Halloween listening and new physical editions. The album reaches its highest position since April 1984, when it completed its 37th and final week at No. 1. BigXthaPlug’s Better Over Time debuts at No. 7 with 35,000 units, tying his career-best chart position, while Queens of the Stone Age’s Perfecth opens at No. 10 for the band’s fifth top 10.
