The previous biggest week of the year was held by Taylor Swift’s Fearless (Taylor’s Version). Swift has helped mentor the “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” star and has a writing credit on Sour as “1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Forward” samples her song “New Year’s Day”.

It is also the second largest streaming week for a non-R&B/hip-hop album ever and second largest for an album by a female artist in any genre.

The release came on the heels of three Top 10 songs off the album including “Driver’s License” and “Good 4 U” which were at No. 1.

On top of all the other records, Rodrigo is also the first woman to have her debut album open at No. 1 since Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy in 2018.
