Olivia Rodrigo - you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love + “drop dead”

maggots for brains has possibly my favourite chorus right now. and that fuzzy instrumental break in the middle 8. tremendous.
 
US sales projection increased again

There seems to be a lot more momentum behind this one than guts. I am still digging in to the album but maggots for brains and what’s wrong with me are the ones that stick out most for now.

 
olivia and slayyyter head to head for AOTY 2026 so far.


this is the most I’ve played an album in its first couple of days since lux.
 
Olivia on 85,548 in the latest UK midweeks.

Also at #1 in the singles chart with Stupid Song. The Cure is at #2 and Drop Dead at #4.
 
Stupid Song only entered at #2 in the UK…behind Taylor. Despite Taylor not being top five by Wednesday and so at least 13k behind, and her streaming nothing on Olivia.

I’m assuming some sort of physical was shipped on Thursday or something? But what the actual fuck :D
 
Yeah great result for that, and still a marvellous week.

Just seen Taylor sold 42k of physicals, all counted yesterday. Otherwise she would have fallen 1-7.

Just seems very dodge.
 
Final numbers for the US from Billboard:

Olivia Rodrigo achieves her third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as her third studio release, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, launches atop the list dated June 27. The set bows with 485,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending June 18, according to Luminate — marking Rodrigo’s biggest week ever by units, and the largest week of 2026 for any album by a soloist.

Rodrigo also topped the Billboard 200 with her two previous studio albums, GUTS (in 2023) and SOUR (2021).


The new album was preceded by a pair of top five-charted singles on the Billboard Hot 100: its lead-off track “drop dead” (No. 1 in May) and “the cure” (No. 5 in June).

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new June 27, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on June 23.


Of you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love’s 485,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, album sales comprise 273,000 (Rodrigo’s best sales week and the largest sales week for a woman in 2026; it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 211,000 (equaling 218.41 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks, the largest streaming week of 2026 by a woman; it debuts at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise 1,000.

The album’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across more than 15 physical variants(including two signed editions). Of the album’s opening-week sales, vinyl purchases comprised 164,000 — Rodrigo’s biggest week on vinyl and the largest week of 2026 by a woman.

Is it just me, or does Honeybee start exactly like Good Luck Babe! (I don't know if it's been discussed already).

I hear that too but as I mentioned earlier it sounds identical to the opening lines in Somebody Else (the 1975) to me
 
the chorus, big fat post-chorus and HUGE CRUNCHY INSTRUMENTAL BREAK on maggots for brains are just... everything. what a song.

and then to take us straight into u + me. give her a damehood or whatever the YANK equivalent is for services to gays.
 
Just got round to listening to the album and I really like it. I prefer the first half - Girl So In Love.
