Olivia Rodrigo Scores Third No. 1 Album With ‘You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love’

Olivia Rodrigo‘s new album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking her third No. 1 LP and her biggest sales week ever. It was also largest week of 2026 for any album by a soloist, meaning You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love outperformed Drake’s Iceman.

Rodrigo’s album sold 485,000 units in the United States in the week ending June 18, according to Billboard. By comparison, Drake sold 463,000 for Iceman in May. Drake has held the No. 1 spot since then for four weeks, only to be knocked down by Rodrigo.

In 2021, Rodrigo earned the No. 1 album spot with her debut, Sour, and she followed the success in 2023 with Guts. You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love is her third full-length LP. It features 13 tracks, including a stunning duet with the Cure’s Robert Smith. The album’s flagship single, “Drop Dead,” went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, as did its follow-up, “The Cure.”

“No matter how hard I try to write love songs they always come out laced with a little melancholy,” Rodrigo said upon announcing the new album. “I am so proud of this record, and I can’t wait for you to hear it.”

In September, Rodrigo will head out on The Unraveled Tour, which will make 86 stops across multiple cities and continents, hitting major arenas in New York, Los Angeles, London, and everywhere in between. The North American leg will kick off Sept. 25 at the PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, Connecticut.

The trek will continue through the fall and into early 2027, wrapping with a four-night stand at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, February 11, 12, 15, and 16. After that, Rodrigo will head over to the U.K. and Europe for a run of dates that starts March 19 at the Avicii Arena in Stockholm, Sweden and wraps May 2 at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, Spain. 

In May, Drake unveiled three albums, IcemanHabibti, and Maid of Honour, which debuted in the top three spots on the Billboard 200 in their opening week, making Drake the first artist to occupy the chart’s entire top three simultaneously.
