Gracie Abrams has landed her first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, as 'Daughter From Hell' debuts atop the chart dated August 1, 2026. The album earned 124,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending July 23, according to Luminate — the measurement firm that tracks U.S. music consumption. Equivalent album units convert streaming and song sales into album-sale equivalents, and that 124,000 total is Abrams' best week ever by that measure. (Billboard)

'Daughter From Hell' is Abrams' third full-length studio album. She previously reached the Billboard 200 top 10 with 'The Secret of Us,' which debuted and peaked at No. 2 in July 2024. The new record was announced on May 11, 2026, and was preceded by two charting singles on the Billboard Hot 100: 'Hit the Wall' and 'Look at My Life.' Abrams has described the album as a thank-you note to her mom. (Billboard, 17 July 2026)

The first-week numbers break down across formats. Album sales comprised 77,000 of the 124,000 units — enough to put 'Daughter From Hell' at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart. Streaming equivalent album units, which convert on-demand plays into album sales, accounted for 46,500, equal to 47.27 million on-demand official streams. Track equivalent album units, which convert individual song sales, contributed roughly 500. The album placed at No. 6 on the Top Streaming Albums chart. (Billboard)

Physical variants played a clear role in the sales total. The album was released across 10 vinyl variants, four CD variants, two cassettes, and two digital download and streaming editions in its first week. Multiple format configurations — different coloured pressings or packaging for the same record — are a common strategy to drive first-week purchases among collectors and dedicated fans.

Abrams is the sixth act to score a first Billboard 200 No. 1 in 2026, following Noah Kahan, Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, Don Toliver, and Megadeth. In 2025, five acts achieved that milestone: Ken Carson, Ghost, Tate McRae, PARTYNEXTDOOR, and Sleep Token.

The win extends beyond the U.S. 'Daughter From Hell' also debuted at No. 1 in Australia and gave Abrams her second U.K. No. 1 album. (Billboard, 24 July 2026; Billboard, 24 July 2026)

Below the top spot, the Billboard 200 held steady. Olivia Rodrigo's 'you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love' stayed at No. 2 with 86,000 units, Morgan Wallen's 'I'm the Problem' held at No. 3 with 75,000, and Ella Langley's 'Dandelion' remained at No. 4 with 72,000. Noah Kahan's 'The Great Divide' sat at No. 5 with 63,000, and Drake's 'ICEMAN' at No. 6 with 56,000.

Two moves stood out further down. BTS' 'ARIRANG' climbed from No. 26 to No. 9 with 40,000 units — a 62% jump — after the release of a vinyl picture disc edition with two bonus tracks. Future's 'The Real Me' fell from No. 1 to No. 7 with 46,000 units, a 65% drop in its second week. Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' rose from No. 9 to No. 8 with 40,000 units. (Billboard)
