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

[Teletubby 153,228]

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.

[Ladle Ghoulash 29,215]

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

No I think I read somewhere that it’s called Más Lux (more light)

[Morphine Prince 107,490]

Best album of 2025. 

I am manifesting it will win AOTY in 2027. 

And it’s honestly one of the best albums of the decade.

Incredible achievement for Rosalia. Not only is Lux the all-time highest charting album on the Billboard 200 by a female Spanish artist but it's even more impressive she was able to pull this off by going in the complete opposite of trendy sounds. Who else but her would be insane enough to release something like Berghain as the lead single and actually have it become a number 1 hit on the Spanish charts? 

[Juanlittlem 47,220]

I actually didnt like the album and I didnt even bother to give it a second listen, motomami clears this but good for her

[MajorMinus 361]

Deserved number one. Hands down the best album dropped this year. I was JAWDROPPED.

Genuinely insulting to compare a masterpiece to that slop
