The race for the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart was as tight as ever this week, but Bad Bunny managed to come out victorious. He soared to the top spot with his latest album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, beating Taylor Swift’s Lover: Live From Paris by just 1,000  units.

Debí Tirar Más Fotos earned 203,500 equivalent album units during its first full tracking week, including 195,000 SEA units (equaling 264.03 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), 7,500 traditional album sales, and 1,000 TEA units.

Debí Tirar Más Fotos scored the largest streaming week for a Latin album since Bad Bunny’s own record Un Verano Sin Ti debuted with 356.55 million. He also hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with El Último Tour Del Mundo (2020) and Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana (2023).

Bad Bunny managed to top the Billboard 200 chart with Debí Tirar Más Fotos just 1,000 units ahead of Taylor Swift’s Lover: Live From Paris, which hit No. 2 with 202,500 equivalent album units earned.

Debí Tirar Más Fotos hit the shelves on January 5, and its release was preceded by singles “El Clúb”, “Pitorro de Coco”, and “Baile Inolvidable”. Bad Bunny will promote its release with a 30-day Residency at Coliseo de Puerto Rico, which sold out in just four hours.
