Lizzo‘s been the newcomer on everyone’s lips.
After garnering quite the underground buzz for her independent efforts, the 30-year-old – whose messages of body positivity are challenging the status quo of beauty standards – has been wowing critics with the offerings from her first major label effort, ‘Cuz I Love You.’
And, while the project went to chart battle on April 19 without much Hot 100 love to its credit (having placed none of its content on the chart to date), that didn’t stop longtime fans and new supporters from snapping up the set. Look inside to see just how many units the album sold its first week and where it placed on the Billboard 200:
Released via Nice Life/Atlantic Records, ‘Love’ earned 41,000 equivalent album units (with 24,000 of that sum in pure album sales).
Making her inaugural top 10 debut, look below to see where she landed:

She’s so not interesting. She’s over hyped and trying to have an edge like Kelis! NEXT
Was Kelis originally a rapper? Was Kelis on an Independent and they got noticed and signed to a major? Was Kelis’s narrative around body positivity on her early recordings? Did Kelis do any choreo with bankup dancers? NO.
There is approximately NO ONE out here comparing her to Kelis except YOU and even then nobody can see it like Stevie Wonder trying to p*** in the toilet bowl.
Did you have to insult an innocent blind man to make you point? Mocking a disability? You’re lovely.
Deary me.
lmaooo obviously she is that interesting, she got more than 14k people to buy her album unlike a certain overhyped flopped roach lmfaooooo????
It might be of interest to some folks that the physical release of this album doesn’t come until mid-May.
I’ve been streaming it but I’ll definitely be buying a physical copy too.
Wow she beats Beyonce in the chart???
Congrats girl
lmaooooo and without a Netflix snoozefest she manages to sell 10k more than that glorified bedbug. The roaches are gonna throw themselves off bridges if Ciara sells more when she comes out next week lmfaooooo ? ?? ? #HomeFLOPPING #14kyonce
@??? B**** how did she beat Beyoncé when homecoming is #4?? Dumb ass can’t even count and tryin to come for people. I’m so glad Bey always makes your blood pressure rise. Lmao!!
Congratulations Lizzo! I really like what I have heard so far & the buzzzz is most deserved!
If she was white, she would be selling lime Adele
*cough* Megan Trainor *cough*
Not interested in this heffa. I can tell she’s trying to use her weight as a stunt to get attention and people interested in her but fails
