Olivia Rodrigo's debut album has proven to be just as record-breaking as her debut single.
SOUR debuts at number-one on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 295,000 units: the biggest sales week so far for 2021. SOUR outsold the previous record-holder for the biggest first week of the year: Olivia's idol, Taylor Swift. In April, her album Fearless (Taylor's Version) sold 291,000 units in its first week.

In addition, Olivia is the first female artist to score a number-one debut with a first album since Cardi B did it with 2018's Invasion of Privacy. SOUR also scored the most U.S. audio streams for a female debut album in history and broke Spotify's record for the most-streamed album in a week by a female artist.
Overall, SOUR is now the second-biggest streaming album by a woman ever, second only to Ariana Grande's Thank U, Next.
