Billboard reports Manic sold 239,000 equivalent album units, marking Halsey’s biggest sales week ever and the largest sales week for an album by a woman since Taylor Swift’s Lover back in September.
It’s also the biggest week for a number two album since 2016, when Beyonce’s Lemonade brought in 321,000 units in its second week on the chart.
Halsey’s previous album hopeless fountain kingdom debuted at number one in 2017, while her first album Badlands came in at number two in 2015.
