Gracie Abrams Scores First No. 1 With Daughter From Hell

Robust first-week physical sales from numerous vinyl and CD variants produced 124,000 equivalent album units and set up a 64-date arena tour.

Overview

  • On Sunday, July 26, Billboard reported that Daughter From Hell debuted atop the Aug. 1–dated Billboard 200 after earning 124,000 equivalent album units in the tracking week ending July 23, according to Luminate.
  • The sales mix was unusually heavy on bought albums: about 77,000 were pure album sales, 46,500 were streaming-equivalent album units equal to roughly 47.27 million on-demand streams, and about 500 were track-equivalent albums.
  • Label release tactics boosted first-week totals with 10 vinyl variants, four CD variants, two cassettes and multiple retail-exclusive editions that included signed copies and bonus tracks.
  • Abrams will support the record with a new 64-date Look at My Life international arena tour that begins in December 2026, includes 37 North American shows and four nights at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
  • The chart race this week highlights a wider industry pattern where vinyl reissues and high-profile promotion can drive sharp consumption spikes, as shown by BTSARIRANG rebounding into the top 10 after a picture-disc vinyl release and World Cup halftime exposure.
