Olivia Rodrigo’s forthcoming album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, is set to drop next week on June 12.
The highly anticipated record is the singer’s latest project, following her two chart-topping albums — 2021’s Sour and 2023’s Guts.
With Rodrigo’s third studio record, FanDuel Canada has odds on the album’s chart performance. Will it top Sour’s 10-week reign? Or spend one week at the top like Guts?
As North America’s No. 1 Casino and Sportsbook, FanDuel has opened markets on You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love’s Billboard Canada chart performances.
How many songs from Rodrigo’s album will enter the top 10 of the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 in its first week?
The most likely odds are -125 with two spots, meaning that is the likeliest outcome. Could she take over all 10? Taylor Swift has been the only artist to achieve the feat in Canada, though Drake claimed nine of 10 on last week’s chart. Odds for all 10 are currently set at +3000.
How many weeks will the album hold the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart?
The odds show that zero weeks is most likely to happen, with one and two weeks following close behind.
It’s a unique way for listeners to interact with Rodrigo’s album before its release — and the project has already gained notable buzz. When she announced it in April, Rodrigo shared that she’s “so proud of this record” and “can’t wait” for fans to hear it.
The album’s lead single, “Drop Dead,” already hit No. 1 on the May 2- dated Canadian Hot 100, marking Rodrigo’s fourth chart-topping track and third No. 1 lead single in Canada. It remained there for one week before being dethroned by Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas.”
Last month, the singer and actor did double-duty on Saturday Night Live as the host and musical guest. Rodrigo performed “Drop Dead” along with a melancholy unreleased ballad, “Begged.” Prior to the singer taking the stage, she shared on The Tonight Show that Jack White left a sweet note in her dressing room and called it her “good luck charm.”
Weeks later, she dropped “The Cure,” a moody track that builds into an angsty moment. Before its release, Rodrigo said that it was her “favourite song” on the entire album. The nearly five-minute track debuted at No. 7 on the June 6-dated Canadian Hot 100, which is still dominated by Drake.
Those are three of the 13 tracks on Rodrigo’s third album, which include titles like “Stupid Song” and “Maggots for Brains.”
Ahead of June 12, fans can lock in their bets on how well Rodrigo’s You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love will do on the Canadian charts. Be sure to play responsibly!
