Rodrigo’s Sour also had a huge streaming week with it being the second-largest in numbers ever for a non-R&B/hip-hop album, and second-biggest for an album of any genre by a female artist.
Plus, the album scored the largest week, by units, for an artist’s debut charting effort since the Billboard 200 transitioned from an album-sales only ranking to an equivalent album units-based chart on the December 13, 2014 survey, according to Billboard.
Sour was released on May 21 and quickly shot to No. 1 in several countries.
