Bad Bunny’s ‘Debí Tirar Más Fotos’ Climbs to No. 1 on Billboard 200


Following its first full week of activity, Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos climbs 2-1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Jan. 25), scoring the superstar his fourth leader on the list. Bunny’s album was released on an off-cycle Sunday (Jan. 5), and, thus, it arrived on the chart a week ago with only five days of activity (as the chart’s tracking week runs Friday through Thursday).


In the tracking week ending Jan. 16, Debí Tirar Más Fotos earned 203,500 equivalent album units (up 67%) in the U.S., according to Luminate — largely driven by streaming activity. The set was only available as a standard 17-song streaming album, and as a digital download for purchase (widely through all digital retailers, as well as Bunny’s official webstore). Traditional album sales drove just under 8,000 of the album’s activity for the week.


Bunny previously led the Billboard 200 with Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana (in 2023), Un Verano Sin Ti (2022) and El Último Tour del Mundo (2020).

At No. 2 on the Billboard 200, Taylor Swift’s 2023 album Lover: Live From Paris reenters, with 202,500 equivalent album units earned, all from album sales, following its reissue on vinyl (161,000 sold for the week), as well as its first release as a digital download album. The album was exclusively available only to purchase as either a vinyl LP or download in Swift’s webstore. It marks the 18th top 10-charting effort for Swift and the highest-charting live album in over five years. It’s the top-selling album of the week, and also scores the single-largest sales week for a live album on vinyl since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991.


The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Jan. 25, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Jan. 22 (one day later than usual, owed to the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday in the U.S. on Jan. 20). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.


Of Debí Tirar Más Fotos’ 203,500 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Jan. 16, SEA units comprise 195,000 (up 72%, equaling 264.03 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it holds at No. 1 on the Top Streaming Albums chart for a second week), traditional album sales comprise 7,500 (down 3%, falling 6-8 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (up 123%).


The 264.03 million streams of the album’s songs mark the largest streaming week for any album since Kendrick Lamar’s GNX arrived with 379.72 million (Dec. 7, 2024 chart), and the largest for any Latin music album since Bunny’s own Un Verano Sin Ti debuted with 356.55 million (May 21, 2022 chart).


Like in its opening chart week, Debí Tirar Más Fotos was sale priced for $4.99 in the iTunes Store, as well as in Bunny’s webstore.


As Debí Tirar Más Fotos is mostly in the Spanish language, it is the 28th mostly non-English-language album to hit No. 1, and the first of 2025. Four mostly non-English titles topped the list in 2024, and all were Korean-language efforts. Of the 28 mostly non-English-language albums to reach No. 1, 18 are mostly Korean, six mostly (or all) Spanish, one mostly Italian, one entirely French and two mostly a blend of Spanish, Italian and French.


Taylor Swift’s Lover: Live From Paris returns to the Billboard 200, reentering at No. 2 with 202,500 equivalent album units earned (up from nothing the week previous). The eight-song set was recorded in 2019 and had a limited release on vinyl in 2023 (exclusively through Swift’s webstore), and spent one week on the Billboard 200 that March, at No. 58.


Lover: Live From Paris is the highest-charting live album on the Billboard 200 in over five years, since Lionel Richie’s Hello From Las Vegas debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the Aug. 31, 2019-dated chart. Further, as Lover: Live From Paris marks Swift’s 18th top 10-charting set, she ties with Mariah Carey for the third-most top 10s among women in the history of the Billboard 200. Only Madonna (with 23) and Barbra Streisand (34) have more among women. (Meanwhile, all 20 of Swift’s Billboard 200 chart entries, dating to her 2006 debut, have now peaked in the top 20.)


Lover: Live From Paris is Swift’s second top 10-charting live set, following Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions (No. 3 in May 2023).


Of Lover: Live From Paris’ 202,500 units earned in the tracking week ending Jan. 16, album sales comprise the entire number (it reenters at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), with vinyl sales accounting for 161,000 (the largest sales week for a live album on vinyl since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991) and digital download sales accounting for the remaining sales. The set has no SEA or TEA units powering its reentry, since the album was not available on streaming services (thus, customers could not stream songs from the album directly), or through digital retailers such as iTunes, so customers couldn’t purchase songs from the album directly.


The Lover: Live From Paris album commemorates Swift’s The City of Lover live show on Sept. 9, 2019, at the Olympia in Paris. It was the only concert that Swift held to promote the 2019 album Lover, after her planned 2020 Lover Fest trek was cancelled due to COVID-19. Swift didn’t return to live shows until the career-spanning The Eras Tour kicked off in March 2023.


The City of Lover live gig was turned into an ABC-TV special on May 17, 2020 (titled Taylor Swift: City of Lover), and included only the eight songs that are also on the Lover: Live From Paris album. The album was initially released as a double-vinyl set, on heart-shaped color vinyl, in early 2023, exclusively through Swift’s webstore. The limited-pressing sold 13,500 copies in its one and only week of availability, and debuted and then-peaked at No. 58 on the Billboard 200 (March 4, 2023-dated chart).


Earlier in January 2025, Lover: Live From Paris was restocked on Swift’s webstore, for a limited time, on the same double-vinyl set, on heart-shaped color vinyl. At the time, customers were informed that the set would ship on or before Jan. 20.


In addition to the vinyl release, Lover: Live From Paris saw its debut as a digital download album, exclusively through Swift’s webstore, for a limited time. On Jan. 16, the final day of the latest chart’s tracking week, the set was made available in Swift’s store across four variants for six hours only, each priced at $4.99. One was the standard eight-song album, and the other three each contained the standard eight songs plus one unique live bonus track of a Lover album cut performed during The Eras Tour (“False God,” “I Think He Knows” and “Paper Rings”).


No version of the Lover: Live From Paris album was available during the tracking week on streaming services, nor through any digital retailer outside of Swift’s webstore. The album’s core eight songs were released as stand-alone tracks in May 2020 (the same week as the premiere of Taylor Swift: City of Lover TV special) widely through digital retailers and streamers.


As for the rest of the top 10 on the latest Billboard 200 chart, four former No. 1s are at Nos. 3-6. SZA’s SOS is steady at No. 3 (102,000 equivalent album units earned; down 10%), Kendrick Lamar’s GNX is a non-mover at No. 4 (64,000; down 4%), Lil Baby’s WHAM falls 1-5 in its second week (55,000; down 60%) and Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet slips 5-6 (48,000; down 6%).


Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft is stationary at No. 7 (40,000 equivalent album units earned; down 7%), the Wicked film soundtrack falls 6-8 (39,000; down 15%), Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping One Thing at a Time dips 8-9 (nearly 39,000; down 4%) and Gracie AbramsThe Secret of Us descends 9-10 (36,000; down 4%).
