Olivia Rodrigo's New Album Tops Billboard 200 and Launches Women‑Rights Festival
Olivia Rodrigo's album *You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love* debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 485,000 equivalent album units, the strongest opening week of her career and her third chart‑topping release. The record, released on 12 June 2026, also set a record for vinyl sales by a female artist, moving about 164,000 copies. The success comes as Rodrigo prepares for her Unraveled world tour, which will begin in Hartford in September 2026 and continue across North America and Europe.
In conjunction with the album, Rodrigo announced the Daisy Chain Fields festival, a three‑day event aimed at raising funds for women's reproductive rights and education. Headliners include Stevie Nicks, Chappell Roan and KATSEYE, and all proceeds are slated for abortion funds and women’s‑education initiatives. Early projections suggest the festival could generate several million dollars in revenue, with ticket sales and sponsorships supporting the charitable mission.
