Olivia Rodrigo Reclaims Billboard 200 Top Spot After Expectations Remix

Olivia Rodrigo's album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love climbs back to No.1 on the Billboard 200 after the October 15 release of her Expectations remix with Chappell Roan, marking her third total week atop the chart. The remix, Roan's feature debut, pushed the album to 75,000 equivalent album units and knocked Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl from the summit. Rodrigo first issued the album in June, debuting at No.1 and holding the spot for a second week. Zach Bryan entered the chart at No.2 with Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs, moving 65,500 units; the record is his sixth top‑10 entry and follows his January No.1 album With Heaven on Top. Young Manhood arrived on short notice, includes guest spots from Lana Del Rey and Turnpike Troubadours, and supports a tour starting April 2027. Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem stays at No.3, while Ella Langley's Dandelion holds No.4. The rest of the top ten features Noah Kahan's The Great Divide, Drake's Habibti at No.7, Kahan's Stick Season at No.8, Olivia Dean's The Art of Loving at No.9, and SZA's SOS returning to the top ten almost four years after its December 2022 debut.

Context

The Billboard 200 ranks U.S. albums by sales, streams and track equivalents, so a high‑profile remix can quickly boost an album’s unit count and move it up the chart.
