ROSALÍA once again pushes beyond her own limits. LUX, her new album, bursts onto the scene with a force that reaffirms her position as one of the most influential artists of the moment. The project marks the strongest debut of her career and sets off a global phenomenon that spans continents, platforms and markets that have historically been difficult for a Hispanic artist to break.
A historic impact in Spain
In Spain, LUX marks a turning point. With almost 52,000 units in its first week, it sets a new standard in the streaming era. It is the best-selling album since digital consumption became dominant. It debuts as Platinum, registers the highest SEA ever recorded in the country and becomes the best-selling vinyl since the creation of the official chart. The outcome places ROSALÍA in a league of her own.
Europe expands the wave
The momentum of the album spreads across Europe with equal intensity. France and Portugal record the highest weekly sales for a Latin or Hispanic artist in the streaming era. Memória, her collaboration with Carminho, becomes in Portugal the biggest Spotify debut for a Spanish/Latin artist and also the highest for a collaboration with a Portuguese figure.
Germany welcomes the album at number two, one of the artist’s strongest openings. In the United Kingdom, ROSALÍA enters the Top 5, securing the highest position ever achieved by a Spanish artist according to the Official Charts Company. LUX also reaches number one in Austria, Switzerland, Portugal and Belgium, while maintaining solid results in Italy, Ireland, Denmark and Canada.
The United States and Latin America
In the United States, the album debuts at number four — ROSALÍA’s strongest start in that market to date. Across Latin America, the impact is equally clear on Spotify: number one in Argentina and Chile, and consistently within the Top 10 in the Dominican Republic, Panama, Peru, Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. The response confirms a cultural reach that continues to grow.
A global phenomenon
The release culminates on Spotify, where LUX enters directly at number one on the weekly albums chart. It is the most-streamed album in the world during its first week.
With this project, ROSALÍA once again proves her ability to shift the industry through vision, risk and cultural precision. LUX not only opens a new chapter in her artistic evolution — it becomes a full-blown global event.
ROSALÍA releases “Berghain”, the first preview of her upcoming album LUX.
