Bad Bunny 'beats' Taylor Swift on Billboard chart

Bad Bunny's Debí Tirar Más Fotos hits No. 1, becoming the Puerto Rican star's fourth album to reach the top spot. It's a close race, with the 17-track album taking the No. 1 spot from Taylor Swift's reissue of Lover ( Live From Paris ).

In the tracking week ending January 16, Debí Tirar Más Fotos sold 203,500 copies (both physical and digital) while Lover ( Live From Paris ) followed with 202,500. Taylor Swift's album is available on vinyl (it sold 161,000 copies in the week) and is available as a digital download for the first time.

Debí Tirar Más Fotos climbed to the top spot largely thanks to its first full week of streaming, which saw 264 million views. The Spanish-language album is available as a standard LP and digital download. Traditional album sales recorded just under 8,000 copies for the week.

It’s a completely different story for Taylor Swift, whose albums are available exclusively as LPs or downloads. Swift’s Lover ( Live From Paris ) vinyl sold out almost immediately. After its initial (very limited) February 2023 drop, Lover ( Live From Paris ) was priced at over $1,000 at retail stores and online.

Taylor Swift's Lover ( Live From Paris ) album ranked number 2

It's the best-selling album of the week and the highest-charting album on the Billboard 200 in more than five years (and the biggest sales week for a vinyl album). No album has charted that high since Lionel Richie released Hello From Las Vegas in 2019.

In addition to Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny, SZA remains at No. 3 with her album SOS , followed by Kendrick Lamar's GNX at No. 4, Lil Baby's Wham drops to No. 5 after a week at No. 1, and Sabrina Carpenter's Short n' Sweet holds onto No. 6. Billie Eilish's Hit Me Hard and Soft holds onto No. 7...
