Guts topped the U.K. charts Friday (Sept. 15) as the best-selling and most-streamed album of the week in that region. According to Official Charts Company, Guts‘ 60,300 units total outsold the rest of the top 10 combined. Rodrigo also claimed the fourth-biggest opening week for an album in 2023 on the U.K. charts.
Guts topped the Billboard 200 on the chart dated Sept. 23, becoming Rodrigo’s second consecutive record to launch atop the ranking following her 2021 debut Sour. In the United States, Guts shifted 302,000 album units in its first week, slightly outpacing the first-week performance of Sour.
It’s been a whirlwind few weeks for the pop star. On Sept. 12, she rocked the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards with a medley of her Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single “Vampire” and Guts standout “Get Him Back!” On Sept. 15, the “Drivers License” singer also added 18 new dates to her recently announced Guts World Tour. The new tour, her first headlining arena trek, will visit major cities across the U.S. and Europe and feature supporting acts such as The Breeders, PinkPantheress, Chappell Roan and Remi Wolf.
