Olivia Rodrigo's Reign Continues: 'You Seem Pretty Sad' Dominates Billboard 200 for Second Week

Olivia Rodrigo’s album, "you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love," has maintained its No. 1 position on the Billboard 200 chart for a second consecutive week, specifically the chart dated July 4, 2026. In its second week, the album garnered 180,000 equivalent album units in the United States, as reported by Luminate, marking a 63% decrease from its debut week. The album initially premiered at No. 1 with an impressive 485,000 units, which stood as the largest week of 2026 for any album released by a soloist.

Beyond its Billboard 200 success, Rodrigo's latest album also holds strong at No. 1 on both the Top Streaming Albums and Top Album Sales charts for a second stanza. This achievement marks the second time one of Rodrigo’s three Billboard No. 1 albums, all of which debuted at the top, has ruled for multiple weeks. Her debut album, SOUR, dominated the chart for five weeks in 2021, while GUTS led for a single frame in 2023.

The Billboard 200 chart serves to rank the most popular albums of the week in the U.S., utilizing a multi-metric consumption methodology measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. These units are a composite of album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA), and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Specifically, one equivalent album unit equates to either one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The upcoming June 27, 2026-dated chart will be fully published on Billboard’s website on June 23.

Breaking down the 180,000 equivalent album units earned by "you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love" in the most recent tracking week, SEA units contributed 132,500, reflecting a 37% decrease but still totaling 137.14 million on-demand official streams of the album's tracks, securing its second week at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums. Album sales accounted for 47,500 units, an 83% decline, with TEA units comprising the remaining portion of the total, experiencing a 44% decrease.

Notably, "you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love" is the sixth album in a row to achieve consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. This remarkable streak follows several other prominent albums: Drake’s ICEMAN (four weeks), Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide (three weeks), Ella Langley’s Dandelion (two weeks), BTS’ ARIRANG (three weeks), and Harry Styles’ Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. (two weeks). Prior to Styles' initial ascent to the top, Bruno Mars’ The Romantic held the No. 1 spot for one week.

This current run represents the longest streak of multiple-week visits to No. 1 since the late 1980s. A similar phenomenon occurred over a 23-week period from September 1988 through February 1989, during which six albums consecutively notched multiple weeks at No. 1 without any single-week interruptions. These albums included Def Leppard’s Hysteria, Guns N’ Roses Appetite for Destruction, Bon Jovi’s New Jersey, U2’s Rattle and Hum soundtrack, Anita Baker’s Giving You the Best That I Got, and Bobby Brown’s Don’t Be Cruel. It is worth noting that the chart's adoption of electronically-measured Luminate data in May 1991 subsequently led to increased turnover and debuts at the top position.

The remainder of the top 10 on the latest Billboard 200 chart displays exceptional stability, with no new albums debuting within the top 10 and no changes in rank compared to the previous week. Following Rodrigo’s album are five former No. 1s: Drake’s ICEMAN at No. 2 with 90,000 equivalent album units (down 15%), Ella Langley’s Dandelion at No. 3 with 84,000 units (up less than 1%), Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem at No. 4 with 79,000 units (up 2%), Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide at No. 5 with 67,000 units (down 6%), and Michael Jackson’s Thriller at No. 6 with 53,000 units (down less than 1%).
