Rosalía’s ‘Lux’ Becomes Her First Top 10 Album, Debuting at No. 4
With the release of her expansive orchestral LP “Lux,” Rosalía has hit another landmark moment in her career. The singer celebrates her first-ever top 10 album as the 15-song (18-song on CD and vinyl) set debuts at No. 4 powered by a personal-best week of 46,000 equivalent album units, according to Luminate.
Her fourth studio record — featuring Björk, Yves Tumor, Carminho, Estrella Morente, Sílvia Pérez Cruz and Yahritza y su Esencia — collected 34 million official streams and 19,000 sales. Rosalía previously charted one album on the Billboard 200, her experimental “Motomami,” which debuted and peaked at No. 33.
“Lux” was introduced with the single “Berghain,” while its first-week sales were propelled by physical sales of four CD boxed sets and a pair of distinct vinyl LPs (one signed by Rosalía), along with a standard CD and digital download album.
“The word ‘lux’ has always been circling in my mind,” Rosalía told the Spanish newspaper El País. “Suddenly, I understood why I was thinking about it so much. And all of that was happening while the ‘Motomami’ tour was going on. It was: now I’ll let myself feel this way, compose from this place, now is the moment.”
The only other new arrival in the top tier of the Billboard 200 this week comes from Tomorrow X Together’s Yeonjun. His debut project, “No Labels: Part 01,” enters at No. 10 with 29,000 equivalent album units earned, including 27,000 in album sales — a number largely driven by its multiple CD iterations. Olivia Dean’s “The Art of Loving,” meanwhile, reaches a new height as it climbs 7-5 with 41,000 equivalent album units earned.
The remainder of the top 10 is led by Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” as the record spends a sixth consecutive week at No. 1 with 110,000 units. Swift becomes only the second artist in 2025 to see an album spend its first six weeks at No. 1, following Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem.”
