30 has now sold over 1 million in traditional album sales in the U.S. across all of its formats (CD, vinyl LP, cassette and digital album download), via the music outlet.

It sold 692,000 copies in its first week in the U.S., and 225,000 copies in its second week. (Note: traditional album sales are different from equivalent album units.)

The last new released album to sell a million copies in the U.S. was Taylor Swift’s Folklore last year, which was also the only album released in 2020 to sell a million copies in the U.S.

Only three albums released in 2019 have sold a million copies to date: Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, Taylor Swift’s Lover and Harry Styles’ Fine Line.
