Olivia Rodrigo is back on top of the Billboard 200 chart this week. The young singer-songwriter rules the ranking of the most-consumed albums and EPs in the U.S. with her latest full-length, Guts. As the title opens in first place, Rodrigo matches a feat managed by one of the most popular musicians in the world right now.

Guts marks Rodrigo's second No. 1 and her second in a row to top the Billboard 200, but that's not what makes her recent win historic. Rodrigo has debuted both of her first two full-lengths at No. 1 on the ranking, which is no easy feat, and one that only a once-in-a-generation voice can accomplish.

Two years ago, Rodrigo landed her first champion on the Billboard 200 with Sour, her debut album. That set opened at No. 1 with ease, just as Guts did. Billboard notes that Rodrigo is the first woman to debut her first two albums at No. 1 on the ranking since Ariana Grande.

The Wicked actress and singer made herself known on the Billboard 200 with her first album, Yours Truly, which debuted at No. 1 in 2013. A year later, Grande returned to the summit with My Everything. Since then, she has landed at No. 1 with five of her six albums, with only Dangerous Woman failing to reach the peak position. That title rose to No. 2 and stalled there.

Guts arrives at No. 1 this week with 302,000 equivalent album units. That sum is larger than Sour, which launched atop the Billboard 200 with 295,000 copies moved. Rodrigo's 300,000-plus week is made up of 150,000 pure sales and almost exactly as many equivalent units coming from streaming. The songs on Guts racked up just under 200 million streams in the last week.
