Olivia Rodrigo Returns to No. 1 on Billboard 200 as Zach Bryan Debuts at No. 2

Olivia Rodrigo's *you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love* is back at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a third nonconsecutive week, according to Billboard's report on the chart dated October 31, 2026. The album moved up from No. 2 after earning 75,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. during the tracking week that ended October 22, a 15% increase.

Zach Bryan's *Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs* enters at No. 2 with 65,500 units, a gap of 9,500 units between the top two titles.

What lifted Rodrigo's album

Billboard attributes the gain largely to a new remix of the album's latest single, "Expectations," featuring Chappell Roan. The remix was released on October 15 alongside an official music video.

Streaming did most of the work. Of Rodrigo's 75,000 units, 63,000 came from streaming equivalent albums, up 19% and equal to 67.14 million on-demand official streams. That also returned the album to No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums, its fifth total week in the lead there. Album sales contributed 11,000 units, down 7%, and the set rose from No. 6 to No. 3 on Top Album Sales. Track equivalent albums added 1,000 units, up 121%.

The album held No. 1 in its first two weeks on the chart, dated June 27 and July 4. In 19 weeks on the list it has not dropped out of the top five.

How the Billboard 200 counts

The Billboard 200 ranks albums by consumption in the U.S. using equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. A unit equals one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, 2,500 ad-supported on-demand streams, or 1,000 paid or subscription on-demand streams of an album's songs. Billboard says Luminate reviews and authenticates the data, and that anything deemed suspicious or unverifiable is removed before final calculations.

Bryan's debut

Bryan's eight-song release features collaborations with Lana Del Rey and Turnpike Troubadours. It was announced on October 12, shortly after he finished his With Heaven on Tour run on October 10, and came out four days later. Its 65,500 units break down as 59,500 from streaming (60.46 million streams), 5,000 from sales and 1,000 from track equivalents. The sales figure reflects a digital-only release for now: Billboard notes the album was available only as a standard download, and that CD and vinyl editions are due in December. It opens at No. 15 on Top Album Sales.

The set is Bryan's second release of 2026, after *With Heaven on Top*, which debuted at No. 1 in January. It brings him to 10 charted titles on the Billboard 200, six of them top 10 entries. He returns to the road with the Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs Tour, starting April 28, 2027.

The rest of the top 10

The next four places belong to former No. 1 albums. Morgan Wallen's *I'm the Problem* holds at No. 3 with 54,000 units, and Ella Langley's *Dandelion* is steady at No. 4 with 49,000. Taylor Swift's *The Life of a Showgirl* falls from No. 1 to No. 5 with 42,000 units, down 52%, and Noah Kahan's *The Great Divide* slips to No. 6 with 40,000.

Drake's *HABIBTI* is No. 7 with 35,000 units, Kahan's *Stick Season* stays at No. 8 with 33,000, Olivia Dean's *The Art of Loving* falls to No. 9 with nearly 33,000, and SZA's *SOS* rises to No. 10 with 30,000. Billboard says the full chart is due on its website on October 27.
