CHART FINAL:
SOUR BOMB

With an unprecedented streaming performance, Geffen/Interscope phenom Olivia Rodrigo opens at #1 on the HITS Top 50 with SOUR. Her debut album enters with 286k units, trailing only Taylor Swift for the biggest bow of 2021. J. Cole's The Off-Season (Dreamville/Roc Nation/Interscope) moves to #2; IGA has four of the Top 10 titles.

Among the milestones SOUR hit in its first week: the most first-week streams ever for a debut album by a female (+275m), surpassing Cardi B's Invasion of Privacy; and SOUR is now the biggest female album of the year in activity to date with nearly 700k.

The other top debuts this week include 42 Dugg's Free Dem Boyz (CMG/4PF) at #7; a live album from RCA's P!nk at #14; and Blake Shelton's Body Language (Warner Music Nashville) at #17.

Go to the HITS Top 50.
