At just 22 years old, Olivia Rodrigo has accomplished an almost unthinkable feat with her debut album, SOUR. The album, consisting of just 11 tracks and no deluxe editions, has reached nearly 15 billion streams, a milestone no other female artist has achieved before.
When Olivia Rodrigo burst onto the music scene at just 18, she did so with a bang. Her debut single, drivers license, not only topped charts worldwide, but it also catapulted her into the spotlight as one of the most promising artists of her generation. While some doubted the staying power of her success, Olivia has proven them wrong, showing she’s a dedicated songwriter with a unique style and a world of creative potential.
Her 2021 debut album, SOUR, marked a major turning point in the music industry. At a time when pop rock was resurging, Rodrigo didn’t just join the trend—she led it, infusing her work with an authentic, personal touch. The album’s impact was undeniable, earning her Grammy Awards, sold-out shows, and incredible streaming numbers. She quickly became a role model for a new generation of artists.
Her latest project, GUTS, showcases her growth as a lyricist and reflects her personal maturity. Yet, even four years after its release, SOUR is still breaking records on digital platforms. This week, the album surpassed 14.4 billion streams, an achievement no other female artist has reached. What makes this even more impressive is that SOUR is a debut album, created when Olivia was just 18, with only 11 tracks, and no special editions or additional content.
Out of the tracks on SOUR, seven have surpassed one billion streams on their own, with only four being promoted as singles. Additionally, the remaining tracks have each amassed impressive numbers, with the least being "hope ur ok", which has over 300 million streams.
