Olivia Rodrigo 'Guts' Billboard 200
According to Luminate, Olivia Rodrigo's "Guts" scored 302,000 album-equivalent units in its opening week. Among those 151,000 units are attributed to streaming, 150,000 from, album sales, composed of 94,000 vinyl, and 1,000 track units.
She currently holds the seventh-largest opening week for a Vinyl album since 1991 and the sixth-largest debut streaming week of 2023.
Per the publication, the Vinyl sales that Rodrigo has amassed were attributed to her 13 different Vinyl variants, two box sets, branded merch, four CDs, and even a cassette tape, to name a few.
Rodrigo's incredible feat also comes with a career milestone as she was the second female artist to have debuted her first two albums at the top of the albums chart since Ariana Grande nine years ago.
Grande's "Yours Truly" and "My Everything" landed at No. 1 in 2013 and 2014, respectively. With "Guts" and "Sour" both launching at No. 1, Rodrigo follows suit, cementing her reign as this new era's pop princess.
Rodrigo's music was bolstered by her performance at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards which included her hits "Vampire" and "Get Him Back." She also won Best Editing for "Vampire's" music video.
