Olivia Rodrigo’s latest album returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 following her Expectations remix with Chappell Roan.
Olivia Rodrigo is back at the top of the Billboard 200. You seem pretty sad for a girl so in love rises from No. 2 to No. 1 on the chart dated October 31, earning its third nonconsecutive week in the lead after renewed activity around “Expectations.”
According to Billboard’s chart report, the album earned 75,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. during the tracking week ending October 22. That was a 15 percent increase from the previous week, enough to return the project to the summit months after its initial run at No. 1.
Streaming supplied the largest share of that total. The album generated 63,000 streaming-equivalent units, representing 67.14 million on-demand streams, while traditional album sales contributed 11,000 units and track-equivalent activity added another 1,000.
The latest movement follows the October 15 arrival of Rodrigo’s “Expectations” remix with Chappell Roan. Its playful video, directed by Bardia Zeinali, brings the singers into a game-show setting with David Byrne appearing as host Johnny Johnson and producer Dan Nigro making a cameo.
Rodrigo finishes ahead of Zach Bryan’s Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs, which enters at No. 2 with 65,500 equivalent units. The two releases were separated by 9,500 units, making the returning album’s increased activity decisive in this week’s ranking.
The result adds a fresh chart milestone to a year that has also included her Daisy Chain Fields festival. For the album, the immediate story is a third week at No. 1, with a new collaboration helping keep an existing release in the center of the pop conversation.
