....by current MPG not named Taylor, Beyoncé, Adele. 

 

Did you know that Sabrina has the highest debut since 2017 by a female artist other than these three ladies? P!nk's Beautiful Trauma was the last by a female artist not named Taylor, Beyoncé, or Adele to cross 400k in its debut week.

 

I only included ladies who debuted after 2005, but please let me know if I have missed anyone.

Billie is so consistent. 

Her next era will be her biggest peak methinks. 

how about world wide debut sales?

these numbers are in another universe.  We are comparing a fraction of these figures

That would be cool to compile! I just don't have a quick access guide to them, but would love to see.

Honestly minus Taylor, Beyoncé and Adele since 2015, Ariana and Billie have the most impressive stats. They are easily the top 2 most successful female artists that debuted in the 2010s.
 

Sabrina (if her next album ends up debuting over 300k like it's predicted) and Olivia are easily the most successful female artists that debuted in the 2020s.

oh gagbrina  Notably, z!on!st's BT first week was inflated by tour bundles. In 2020 Billboard ruled tour tickets cannot include bundled albums that will count towards the charts.

@l3disko why downvote this? Red tv debuted with 605k, it's a fact.

Yeah, I accidentally put the global debut week from Wiki.

Beyonce (x3), Adele, Ariana, Billie, and Sabrina the only ones to outdo evermore's digital-and-streaming only first week numbers. To think what it may have done with physicals included.

Excuse you, some of us were twiddling our thumbs (da dee da dumb) watching her break chains all by herself not letting her freedom rot in hell, whilst Obama was in the White House

Asdfghjkl I forget about her music in the 2010s like lots of people do. She flopped hard in the 2010s and was known by the GP as just a Disney Channel girl and not for her music. Let's just give her credit for being iconic and smashing hard musically in the 2020s.

That's not how that works.

Sabrina debuted a long time ago.  Oliivia could be her daughter ... 

 

Seems like the girlies are mad about Sabrina.
