Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts and Sour Sell Big Again

Olivia Rodrigo albums Guts and her debut album sour are both showing up on four major U.K. charts right now. The Official Albums Sales chart and Official Physical Albums chart include both records, which appear to be surging thanks to the excitement fans feel while waiting to hear more about her next big release.

Guts Edges Out Sour

When looking at her two comebacks, Guts stands out as the better performer, though just by a small margin. It lands at No. 85 on the Official Physical Albums chart, which lists the best-selling olivia rodrigo cd releases, cassettes, and vinyl records. Meanwhile, the sour album reappears on the same chart a few spots lower taking the 88th position.

Rodrigo album releases follow a similar path on the Official Albums Sales chart. This chart, which tracks the top-selling albums across the U.K., doesn’t limit itself to any specific format like the Official Physical Albums list does. Guts grabs the No. 86 spot on the Official Albums Sales ranking, while olivia rodrigo sour makes its way back into the mix at No. 89.

Guts Rises on Streaming and Overall Consumption Charts

Guts climbs higher on two more U.K. rankings where it’s listed. Olivia Rodrigo’s album moves up two spots to land at No. 29 on the Official Albums Streaming chart, showing strong performance across streaming platforms. It also improves by one position landing at No. 28 on the olivia rodrigo chart that tracks the country’s top-performing releases.

Sour Leads the Way in Overall Popularity.

Sour olivia rodrigo lands just a few spots lower than Guts on the chart. Unlike the two sales-driven lists where both albums shine again, the debut studio album takes the lead when it comes to streams and overall audience engagement. It moves up from No. 28 to No. 25 on the list that tracks the 100 most popular albums in the U.K. However even with Rodrigo’s consistent chart performance and her albums turning into hits once more, album sour slips down one spot to No. 27 on the Official Albums Streaming chart.

Sour and Guts Both Ruled the U.K.

Both sour olivia and Guts have already hit No. 1 on all the charts they hold spots on, achieving number one album status. As expected, olivia rodrigo’s sour stands out as the longer-lasting success, with over 200 weeks on every list and impressive album certifications. Guts, the pop vocal album that followed, has racked up 131 weeks on the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums charts, and 133 total weeks across the Official Albums and Official Albums Streaming lists. Both rodrigo albums have also performed exceptionally well on the billboard 200 chart in the United States.

“Vampire” Stays as Olivia Rodrigo’s Only Ongoing Hit

Like many famous artists, Rodrigo’s albums tend to last longer in popularity compared to her hit singles. This week one of the rodrigo songs, “Vampire,” appears on a single chart. The song, which introduced Guts, climbs from No. 77 to No. 63 on the Official Physical Singles chart. Over the 123 weeks it’s stayed on that chart, “Vampire” has even managed to reach the top spot.
