Bad Bunny’s ‘DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS’ Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Streaming Albums Chart

Bad Bunny’s new album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, opens at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Streaming Albums chart (dated Jan. 18), with the largest streaming week for a Latin title in over a year.

Also in the top 10 of the latest Top Streaming Albums chart, Lil Baby’s WHAM debuts at No. 3, while last week’s leader, SZA’s SOS, falls to No. 2.

Bad Bunny’s album was released on an off-cycle Sunday (Jan. 5), and, thus, it arrives on the chart with only five days of activity (as the chart’s tracking week runs Friday through Thursday every week). The album’s release date was announced on Dec. 25. The new Top Streaming Albums chart captures the tracking frame of Jan. 3-9.

WHAM’s Friday, Jan. 3 release was announced by Lil Baby in late December.

The 50-position Top Streaming Albums chart ranks the most-streamed albums of the week in the U.S., as compiled by Luminate. Titles are ranked by streaming equivalent album (SEA) units, where each SEA unit equals 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. If an artist has multiple albums containing the same song, SEA units for that song are generally assigned to whichever album sells the most by traditional album sales in a given week. The new Jan. 18, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Jan. 7.

DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS launches at No. 1 with 113,500 SEA units earned in the week ending Jan. 9 in the U.S., according to Luminate. That sum equates to 152.16 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 17 songs – the largest streaming week for a Latin album in over a year. The last Latin set with a bigger streaming week was Bad Bunny’s previous release, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana, when it launched at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums with 239.56 million on-demand official streams for its songs (Oct. 28, 2023-dated chart).

DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS was preceded by a pair of entries from the album on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 songs chart: “EL CLúB” and “PIToRRO DE COCO.”

SZA’s SOS falls from No. 1 to No. 2 on Top Streaming Albums with 110,000 SEA units (down 12%, equaling 146.88 million on-demand official streams of its collected songs – across its standard and its SOS Deluxe: LANA editions). Meanwhile, Lil Baby’s WHAM arrives at No. 3 with 90,000 SEA units (equaling 119.77 million on-demand official streams of the 15 songs on the streaming edition of the album available during its first week).

Rounding out the rest of the top five on Top Streaming Albums, Kendrick Lamar’s chart-topping GNX dips 2-4 (down 4%) and Sabrina Carpenter’s former No. 1 Short n’ Sweet moves 3-5 (down 6%).
