Olivia Rodrigo adds another accolade to her still-young career, as her Sour album becomes the longest-running debut album in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart this century. On the July 2-dated chart, the set spends a 52nd nonconsecutive week in the top 10 (it’s No. 10). It surpasses the 51 nonconsecutive weeks in the top 10 for Lady Gaga’s debut effort The Fame (2009-17).

In total, Sour has earned 3.7 million equivalent album units in the United States (through June 23), according to Luminate. Of that sum, traditional album sales comprise 767,000. (Her debut release finished 2021 as the No. 2 most popular album in the U.S., according to Luminate, with 2.86 million units earned.)
