‘LUX’ by ROSALÍA debuts at #4 on the Billboard 200 with 46K units

[Teletubby 153,223]

Rosalía gets her first top 10 with the No. 4 debut of LUX, as it arrives with a personal-best week of 46,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 27,000 (equaling 34.49 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks — a career-high streaming week for the artist, as it debuts at No. 9 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 19,000 (her best sales week ever; it debuts at No. 4 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

LUX’s first-week sales were aided by its availability across four different CD boxed sets (each including branded clothing and a copy of the CD) and two different vinyl LPs (one signed by Rosalía), along with a standard CD and digital download album. The physical editions of the album include three additional tracks as compared to the standard digital download and streaming edition.

So happy for her  Very satisfying when great art pieces are being appreciated and recognized right away, and not with a 10 year hindsight. I'm sure her next album will be even bigger.

And I remember someone on here saying that people stating that the album was popular were in an “echo chamber.” Huh.

Happy for her! I'm absolutely not familiar with her discography but I've seen her inspirations for this album on a TikTok and the girl is a real artist 

Sound-wise, is this new album a big departure from her previous album(s)?

It’s mostly different from her previous album MOTOMAMI. It’s more in line with her other projects, especially El Mal Querer

Yes but Motomami is still the most different and experimental of them all. Lux is a bit closer to El Mal Querer sound but still with it’s unique vibe.

One of the best albums released this decade! It's beautiful and exciting. Wonderful vocals, melodies, and production. Highly recommend giving it a few listens to take it all in
