It’s official, Bad Bunny‘s Un Verano Sin Ti was the most consumed album in America last year, according to a year-end report by music tracker Luminate. It is the first all-Spanish-language album to achieve this feat.

Coming in second was Taylor Swift‘s Midnights with 3.294 million units moved in 2022. It was also the top-selling album of 2022. In all, the album sold 1.818 million copies across all formats, including digital, vinyl, cassette and CD. Midnights is also the best-selling album since 2017, when Taylor’s Reputation moved 1.903 million units.
In fourth is Harry Styles‘ Harry’s House, followed by The Weeknd‘s Dawn FM in fifth place. The soundtrack to Disney’s Encanto finished in sixth place, while Olivia Rodrigo‘s SOUR, which came out in 2021, finished in eighth.
