After years of steadily building one of pop's most devoted fanbases, Gracie Abrams has officially reached a career-defining milestone.
The singer-songwriter has earned her first-ever No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, as her highly anticipated third studio album, Daughter From Hell, debuts atop this week's chart with an impressive 124,000 equivalent album units in its opening week.
The achievement marks Abrams' biggest sales week to date and follows the success of 2024's The Secret of Us, which peaked at No. 2. This time, however, there was no stopping the pop star as fans turned out in force to give her the chart crown.
Of the album's opening total, 77,000 came from pure album sales, boosted by an array of collectible editions including 10 vinyl variants, multiple CDs, cassettes, signed copies, and retailer-exclusive bonus tracks. Streaming also played a major role, generating more than 47 million on-demand streams during its debut week.
The album's launch was fueled by the previously released singles "Hit the Wall" and "Look at My Life," both of which had already found success on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped build anticipation for the full project.
Abrams now joins an elite list of artists scoring their first Billboard 200 No. 1 in 2026, alongside Noah Kahan, Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, Don Toliver, and Megadeth.
Meanwhile, BTS gave fans another reason to celebrate.
The group's album ARIRANG rocketed back into the Billboard 200's Top 10, climbing from No. 26 to No. 9 after the release of a collectible vinyl picture disc edition featuring two bonus tracks. Additional momentum came from the promotion of the new single "Normal" and BTS' headline-grabbing performance of "Dynamite" during the FIFA World Cup final halftime show.
Elsewhere on the chart, Olivia Rodrigo's you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love remained at No. 2, while Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem held at No. 3. Ella Langley, Noah Kahan, and Drake all maintained their positions in the top six.
One of the week's biggest drops belonged to Future, whose The Real Me fell from No. 1 to No. 7 after its debut, while Michael Jackson's timeless classic Thriller climbed back to No. 8, proving once again that great music never truly leaves the charts.
For Gracie Abrams, however, this week belongs entirely to her. After years of being hailed as one of pop's brightest storytellers, she's finally added the one accolade that had eluded her-a Billboard 200 No. 1 album.
