If youve been following my twitter (

The album has produced 5 #1 hits, the most for any album in history and is currently aiming for its 6th #1 from the song "Miss You Much". The album is the 7th best selling album in pure sales of all time and has been certified 5x Platinum in only 16 weeks.
However, "Sour" by Olivia Rodrigo has seen some success this year as well as its single "drivers license" is still in the top 3 of the best selling songs of the year and the 2nd single "deja vu" broke the record for biggest debut sales week for a single in history also making the biggest debut on the YEC in history opening at #30. The albums 3rd single "good 4 u" didnt do so well and was the albums only single to not reach the top 20. But, after the albums release "favorite crime" showed that the album still had success as the single debuted at #1 on the singles chart helping the album break the record for biggest debut sales week in history selling 242k in its first week.
This tracking week, the 2 albums "Rhythm Nation 1814" and "Sour" are still battling it out for the top spot but the charts favor "Rhythm Nation 1814" being the #1 album for an 8th week tying Ariana Grande's "Positions" for the longest running #1 album in history.
