Olivia Rodrigo Completes Charts Sweep Atop Artists 500

Olivia Rodrigo scores her first Number One on the Artists 500 Chart this week to the tune of a staggering 283.7 million streams. As her debut album Sour rules the albums chart and “Good 4 U” leads the RS 100, Rodrigo becomes only the third female artist to sweep all three charts in one week.

Rodrigo’s rise pushes last week’s winner, J. Cole, to Number Two. Drake, Taylor Swift, and Morgan Wallen round out the top five.
