Olivia Rodrigo misses No. 1 for the first time with Live From Glastonbury

Olivia Rodrigo has reached a new milestone in her chart career—one that breaks a previously unblemished streak.
Her first live album, Live From Glastonbury (A BBC Recording), has debuted strongly across multiple U.K. charts, but it marks the first time one of her releases has failed to claim a No. 1 position.
According to data from the Official Charts Company, Live From Glastonbury opened at No. 4 on the Official Albums Sales, Official Physical Albums, and Official Vinyl Albums charts. The album also debuted at No. 6 on the Official Album Downloads chart. However, on the main Official Albums chart, which factors in sales and streaming, the live set entered at No. 12, missing the top 10 entirely.
The release represents Rodrigo’s first live album and was recorded during her headline performance at the Glastonbury Festival in June 2025. The set features songs from her two studio albums, Sour and Guts, along with special collaborations with The Cure’s Robert Smith, including performances of “Friday I’m in Love” and “Just Like Heaven.”
Despite missing the top spot, Rodrigo continues to perform strongly across U.K. rankings. Her studio albums Sour and Guts remain active on streaming charts years after their release, underscoring her sustained popularity. Both albums previously reached No. 1, making the latest debut her first project to fall short of that benchmark.
Industry analysts note that live albums rarely dominate charts, making the performance of Live From Glastonbury a solid commercial outcome. While it does not extend Rodrigo’s No. 1 streak, the release reinforces her position as one of the most consistent global pop stars of her generation.
