Overview
- The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 on Sunday with 295,000 equivalent album units for the week ending Aug. 6, marking Grande’s biggest week by units this decade.
- Of those units, 168,000 were pure album sales, 126,000 were streaming-equivalent units driven by 128.83 million on-demand streams, and 1,000 were track-equivalent units.
- Physical formats powered the launch: Petal sold 96,000 vinyl copies in its first week and was issued in numerous variants including 10 vinyl editions, five CD editions, two cassettes, and multiple digital bonus-track versions.
- All 12 tracks from Petal entered the Billboard Hot 100, with the title track debuting at No. 4 and lead single “Hate That I Made You Love Me” rebounding to No. 2, and the full album occupying the Hot 100’s top 40 for the first time in her career.
- Grande acknowledged the milestone on Instagram and, according to her representative, will take a step back from public visibility after finishing the Eternal Sunshine Tour; she also withdrew from a planned West End role.
