Pop Sizzle: Olivia Rodrigo Pulls in Impressive 300K First Week for Sophomore Album, “Guts”

Share

Olivia Rodrigo is back with a second album. It’s called “Guts.” First week sales show she has plenty.

Rodrigo’s sophomore effort debuted at number 1 today with 302,000 copies. Sales were evenly divided between streaming and paid downloads/CDs.

“Guts” sold three times the number of the second place finisher, called “Layover” by a group called V. Luckily both releases are on Geffen Records from Universal Music Group.

“Guts” revived sales of Rodrigo’s previous hit album, “Sour,” which sold 27,888 copies – most of which came from streaming.

Rodrigo is just 20 years old. She’s in hot demand for the Super Bowl show next February– when she will be two weeks shy of her 21st birthday. Rodrigo and NSync together? Hmmmm…

She performed Sunday on the MTV Video Music Awards.
