Bad Bunny’s ‘Debi Tirar Mas Fotos’ Climbs to Number One

Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos rises to Number One after completing its first full tracking week, making it the Puerto Rican superstar’s fourth album to top the Billboard 200 as the publication reports. 

The album first arrived off the chart cycle on a Sunday rather than a Friday, so it only logged five days in its first week and bowed at Number Two. Now, with an official full week of tracking ending on Jan. 16, it arrives at Number One having earned 203,500 equivalent album units in the U.S., per Luminate. The album sales hail mostly from streaming, with it having earned more than 263 million on-demand official streams of the album’s songs. Traditional album sales came in at 7,500 for the week.

Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos joins 2023’s Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, 2022’s Un Verano Sin Ti, and 2020’s El  Último Tour del Mundo in gracing the top spot on the albums chart. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Bad Bunny shared the meaning behind the album title, Debí Tirar Más Fotos [I Should Have Taken More Photos].

“It has more to do with the way that sometimes there are these moments I live through, and I enjoy them, but I didn’t take any photos. I have a good memory, but I know there’s going to be a time where I’m not going to remember really incredible times,” he said. “It has a lot of meaning in terms of wishing I had seized certain moments. That’s the idea: enjoying the moment when I could and valuing memories.”

Elsewhere on the albums chart, Taylor Swift’s 2023 album, Lover: Live From Paris has returned to the chart at Number Two, garnering 202,500 units earned from album sales after it was reissued on vinyl, which earned 161,000 sold for the week, and it was also made available for the first time as a digital download. Both offerings were exclusively available via Swift’s web store. The album originally peaked at Number 58 in the chart back in 2023 when it was first released.

Lover: Live From Paris is the top-selling album of the week and also earned the single-largest sales week for a live album on vinyl since Luminate started tracking sales in 1991.

Rounding out the Top Five for the week are SZA’s SOS, which is holding steady at Number Three; Kendrick Lamar’s GNX remains at Number Four; and Lil Baby’s WHAM falls from Number One to Number Five in its second week.
