On the Albums Top 40, Olivia Rodrigo celebrates a fifth week at #1 with you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love – surpassing the four weeks she spent there with 2023's GUTS, but short of SOUR's 15-week run in 2021 – and just holds the Rolling Stones at bay, with their latest LP Foreign Tongues landing at #2. Despite being at rather opposite ends of the career spectrum, Rodrigo and the Stones have at least one point of commonality; their current albums both include a guest appearance by Robert Smith of The Cure.
