Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Guts’ outsells rest of UK album chart Top 10 combined
Olivia Rodrigo has picked up her second UK Number One album, with ‘Guts’ outselling the rest of the Top 10 combined.
The album racked up over 60,000 chart units in its first week, with debut album ‘Sour’ also re-entering the Top 10 following the second album’s release.
‘Guts’ has had the fourth biggest opening week for an album in 2023, following records by Lewis Capaldi, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift.
Number Two in this week’s chart was Travis Scott‘s ‘Utopia’ while The Coral‘s new LP ‘Sea Of Mirrors’ is at Three.

In a five-star review of ‘Guts’, NME shared: “‘Guts’ doesn’t just feel transitional in a musical sense. It marks the end of Rodrigo’s teenage years, a moment that has gravity given that she recently said in a statement that she felt like she grew “10 years” between the ages of 18 and 20.
“Here, she offers blunt self-analysis while reflecting on wider cultural ideas of performance and swallowing anger in order to comply with the wants and needs of others. It works as a display of real power, range and versatility – all of which Rodrigo possesses in abundance.”
This week, Rodrigo added 18 additional dates to her 2024 ‘Guts‘ world tour due to incredible fan demand.
Rodrigo’s world tour is set to kick off on Friday, February 23, 2024 in Palm Springs, CA at Acrisure Arena. From there the singer will make stops in major cities across the US before heading over to the UK and EU. She will make her way back to the States in August 2024 to wrap up the tour with a final show in Los Angeles.
The Breeders, Chappell Roan, Remi Wolf and Pinkpantheress will be joining the singer on the road as support for the massive tour. For US fans, visit here for ticket registration, while EU fans can visit here and UK fans can visit here for ticket registration.
