Olivia Rodrigo's Guts and Sour climb the Official Vinyl Albums chart in the U.K., buoyed by her ... More Glastonbury set and recent tour dates.

The singer-songwriter is still riding high from those high-profile appearances, and her two albums, Sour and Guts, continue to benefit from the renewed attention. Both Sour and Guts are currently performing well on half a dozen charts each in the United Kingdom after a recent surge that came thanks to her performances. Although both titles are beginning to decline on most lists, they are gaining ground on one specific tally. Sour and Guts Climb the Vinyl Albums Chart Sour and Guts are on the rise on the Official Vinyl Albums chart, defying a general downward trend for both projects. Between the two, Guts is the bigger success this frame, stepping up from No. 38 to No. 30. At the same time, Sour reenters the tally at No. 38 — the same position Guts held just days ago. Years after her albums were released, Rodrigo scores a pair of top 40 bestsellers on the vinyl-only ranking. Guts Slips Elsewhere While Guts grows on the vinyl front, it declines on the other five other tallies where it still appears. The title falls outside the top 10 on the Official Albums chart, the main ranking of the biggest full-lengths and EPs in the country. It performs worst on the Official Album Downloads list, plunging from No. 22 to No. 50. Sour Rises on Several Charts Sour, meanwhile, manages to rise on two charts in the U.K. In addition to its vinyl success, the collection also improves slightly on the Official Physical Albums list, inching up from No. 33 to No. 32. Despite some downward movement, overall consumption of Sour still seems strong. It ranks at No. 13 on the Official Albums chart, just two spots below Guts. The singer's first studio effort also experiences its most severe drop on the Official Album Downloads tally, where it tumbles from No. 31 to No. 73.

A Timeline of Olivia Rodrigo & Louis Partridge's Relationship
After two albums' worth of breakup songs, fans of Olivia Rodrigo were ready to see their girl find true love — something she finally seemed to do when Louis Partridge entered the picture. More from Billboard Travis Kelce Denies That He & Taylor Swift 'Seek Attention' in Public: 'We're Just Enjoying Life' Demi Lovato & Husband Jutes Enjoy Romantic Beachside Honeymoon in Newly Shared Photos JoJo Siwa Reveals When She Realized She Had Feelings for Chris Hughes: 'I Wasn't Looking to Fall for Him' The public first became aware of the young pop star and Enola Holmes star's romance in late 2023, right after the release of Rodrigo's Billboard 200-topping sophomore album Guts, which was filled with angsty tracks many fans believed to be targeted at ex-boyfriends Adam Faze and Zack Bia. Before that came one of the biggest heartbreak albums of the decade, 2021's Sour — decidedly written about the musician's split from her High School Musical: The Musical: The Series co-star Joshua Bassett — which featured the Billboard Hot 100 chart-toppers 'Drivers License' and 'Good 4 U.' But as the Grammy winner sang on 'Enough for You,' someday she'd 'be everything to somebody else' — and that person turned out to be a certain British actor, who was previously linked to his Pistol castmate Sydney Chandler. Though Rodrigo and Partridge have kept things pretty private, the photos and videos that have been captured of them together show that the 'Deja Vu' artist rarely goes long without smiling or laughing when she's in her partner's presence, and vice versa. And fans can't get enough, with some dubbing them 'Gen Z royalty' and others comparing them to Twilight's Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. From cute date nights to supporting each other at big events, Rodrigo and Partridge have kept fans obsessed with their romance. Keep reading to see a timeline of their big moments below, and check back here for updates. The story of Rodrigo and Partridge might date back to an August interview the 'Traitor' artist gave ahead of the release of Guts, where she was challenged to read aloud her most recent DM exchange. 'My best friend Conan texted me a picture of this guy that I think is cute and I said, 'Wow, he's everything,'' Rodrigo hesitantly revealed, blushing. Rodrigo and Partridge first sparked dating rumors in October 2023, when fans saw them together in public for the first time ever. In blurry pictures snapped by one onlooker, the singer — wearing festive Halloween cat ears on her head — wraps her arms around the actor, both of them dating rumors surrounding Rodrigo and Partridge only solidified when the Brit showed up to the 2023 Jingle Ball to support the Bizaardvark alum's performance. While there, he was spotted hanging out with Rodrigo's best friends Conan Gray and Maddie Hsu and singing and dancing along to 'All-American B-tch,' after which the group all appeared to leave in the same car. One day after Jingle Ball, Rodrigo performed on Saturday Night Live and took Partridge along with her to the show's afterparty that night. Afterwards, the couple left the party venue together. Rodrigo and Partridge all but confirmed their romance by engaging in a steamy makeout sesh while making a pit stop at gas station in New York City. Other pictures from the outing capture them giggling together outside of their car, the Argylle star snapping photos of the 'Deja Vu' singer on his phone. The next day, there were reports of the couple exploring Tannersville in upstate New York. Not that fans needed it after photos of their gas-station PDA circulated online, but Rodrigo soft-launched her romance with Partridge on Instagram by sharing a photo of her playing darts with an opponent whose initials — 'L.P.' — were visibly written in chalk on a scoreboard. When Rodrigo kicked off her first-ever arena tour, of course Partridge was in the audience at Acrisure Arena in Palm Springs, Calif., to support her. Fan videos captured the actor walking around the venue with the singer's best friend Iris Apatow and holding his cup with his teeth in order to free up his hands to snap a video, and afterward, he posted a picture of his girlfriend performing on Instagram Stories and wrote, 'So so so good.' In an interview with British Vogue, Partridge opened up about his relationship with Rodrigo for the first time. 'Dating probably shouldn't be done in the public eye,' he told the publication. 'There's enough going on between two people. You don't need the voices of thousands of others in your head. I think she's got it a lot worse than I have … She's got tons and tons of eyes on her case.' 'If there's a load of people nattering in a room about you, you can choose to put your ear to the door to hear what they say or not,' he added. 'I think you're probably better off not letting curiosity get the better of you.' Partridge could barely wait for Rodrigo to get off stage to wrap her in an adorable bear hug at her March 19 concert in Chicago, something one fan caught on video. The arrival of the deluxe edition of Guts marked a huge milestone for Rodrigo, as it featured the very first proper love song she'd ever released in her career thus far: 'So American.' Fans were instantly positive the gushy track is all about the star's British boyfriend, with lyrics like, 'He laughs at all my jokes/ And he says I'm so American' and 'God, I'm gonna marry him/ If he keeps this sh– up.' 'GUTS (spilled) is out!!!!!' Rodrigo wrote on Instagram after dropping the song alongside four other new deluxe tracks. 'especialllyyy excited about so american.' Rodrigo and Partridge stepped out for a casual dinner date in Los Angeles, as captured in photos that circulated on social media. While the Enola Holmes star sported a simple flannel and jeans, the 'Get Him Back!' singer wore a red sundress, coat and cherry handbag. Partridge joined Rodrigo in supporting one of her besties, Tate McRae, at the 'Greedy' singer's concert in London. Sitting in the middle of the mezzanine section of the venue, the couple cuddled up while enjoying the music as if they were just two random fans in a crowd. Fans went wild when Rodrigo appeared to subtly confirm that she and Partridge have gotten serious by slightly altering the lyrics of 'So American' at one of her Guts World Tour shows in Europe. Instead of singing 'think I'm in love' as normal after the song's bridge, she belted out 'I'm so in love' — a small but eyebrow-raising change. Partridge helped his girlfriend promote the Asia and Australia legs of her Guts World Tour in a TikTok posted by Rodrigo. Listen for his voice behind the camera: Rodrigo had the sweetest comment for her boyfriend on his 21st-birthday post on Instagram: 'welcome to the 21 club angel boy!!!! 💓💓💓💓' she wrote. Rodrigo and Partridge again packed on the PDA on the streets of New York City while taking a summer stroll together. The pair linked arms, held hands and stopped to share a kiss, with the 'Vampire' artist wearing a Yankees cap and black spaghetti-strap blouse and Partridge sporting a plain white many months of dating, Rodrigo and Partridge made their first couple's appearance at an industry event by hitting the Venice International Film Festival together. Though they didn't pose on the red carpet, the singer did accompany her boyfriend to the screening of his new series Disclaimer, where she took an adorable video of the actor soaking in his applause. Plus, the pair attended a cocktail reception at the Hotel Excelsior, as a well as a post-screening reception at Palazzina Grassi. Partridge was Rodrigo's No. 1 fan at Glastonbury 2025, which the singer closed out with her headlining set on the last day of the festival. After giving his superstar girlfriend a boost on his shoulders while they watched Pulp perform earlier in the day, the actor snapped videos of Rodrigo performing from backstage and later wrote on Instagram, 'A truly special performance on such a huge scale.' 'She worked her a– off for it and couldn't be more deserving of all her success and for the great crowd that was watching,' Partridge added in his post. 'What a moment.'

Olivia Rodrigo's Complete Dating History
Olivia Rodrigo has transformed from Disney star to pop queen in just a few short years. In 2021, her debut album Sour became a hit record of breakup anthems for yearners and ragers of all ages. Part of the album's power is that each song is filled with clues that fans are thrilled to examine as they try to deduce who in Rodrigo's life inspired them. The 20-year-old has had several public romances so far, including some with high-profile co-stars. Below are all the men that she is known to have dated, up to her present boyfriend, Louis Partridge. Back in her Disney Channel star days, Rodrigo worked with actor Ethan Wacker on their show Bizaardvark, where they started off as friends. The show premiered in 2016, and in 2019, the couple shared in a now-deleted Instagram that they had been dating for six months. For a while, many pictures of the couple appeared on their respective timelines, but later in 2019, they all started disappearing. Yes, the young couple had split but remained friends. However, with the release of her hit song, 'Drivers License' in 2021, Rodrigo sparked rumours that the subject of the damning lyrics was Wacker. He denied it in a now-deleted TikTok video. From Bizaardvark, Rodrigo moved on to the Disney+ series, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. Once again, love blossomed on set with her co-star Joshua Bassett. The pair dated from 2019 to 2020, so there was a lot of speculation that Rodrigo's songs were about Bassett as well. After they split, he went on to date pop star Sabrina Carpenter. On her song 'Driver's License,' Rodrigo sings, 'And you're probably with that blonde girl/Who always made me doubt/She's so much older than me/She's everything I'm insecure about.' Carpenter is blonde and four years older than Rodrigo. Still, Rodrigo denied that Carpenter was referenced in the track. In March 2021, the Sour artist told 'I think we've met once or twice in passing, but I've never had a conversation with her...I don't think I could write a song that was meaningful or emotional about somebody that I don't know.' Bassett is also a songwriter, and he added more fuel to the rumours. His track 'Crisis' is said to be about Rodrigo. In it, he sings, 'Half the shit you're saying's only half true/Messing with my life as a career move/I can't help but wonder why you won't make it end?' In June 2021, Bassett told GQ, 'The reality is it's kind of like a lost cause trying to talk about any of that stuff, and I refuse to feed into any of the bullshit, so I just don't. [Everyone] is asking me about Sabrina and Olivia. Why don't we focus on these women for who they are? Let's focus on the art that they're making and how great they are instead of their relationship to a boy.' Around the same time as Bassett's interview with GQ, Rodrigo started dating music producer Adam Faze. They attended the Space Jam 2 premiere together and were seen out and about being affectionate. In February 2022, they split after less than one year of dating. The former couple never confirmed they were together nor spoke about their breakup, but a source told People, 'They've been over for a bit now.' At least one fan suggested that 'Vampire' was about Faze because of the timing of the song's release. Rodrigo was spotted with Zack Bia in February 2022 at a Super Bowl party and then in New York City soon afterward. A source told E!, 'He invited her to Super Bowl parties that he was DJing that weekend, and she went to support him. They hit it off and have been casually hanging out.' By the summer, things seemed to have run their course. A source told Us Weekly in August 2022, 'Their relationship sort of fizzled. They were casually dating but haven't spent time together in a while. There were no issues—they both have different work schedules and different friend groups.' But there was of course speculation that Bia was the 'fame sucker' Rodrigo was singing about. In a September 2023 interview with GQ, Bia said, 'I don't think it's really about me. I think the internet just ran with it.' He added that he 'knows how a song gets made,' but didn't think there was any big drama in their connection. 'We hung out, we're both busy, and we ended up not furthering our relationship,' he explained. 'There was never any drama, you know?' Rodrigo and Enola Holmes actor Louis Partridge were first linked in October 2023 after being seen together in London looking very cuddly. At the time, The Sun reported that she traveled to England just to hang out with him. 'Olivia flew to London with her best pal, singer Conan Gray, but it was Louis who she came to see,' an insider said. 'They met through mutual pals earlier in the year and have been messaging quite a bit. She has spent a few days in the capital hanging out with them all, but it's been Louis who she has been inseparable from. They have been for dinners and nights out. They hit a club together on Friday night and were acting very coupley. It's really sweet to see her happy.' Partridge attended Rodrigo's Jingle Ball performance in December 2023 and was seen with her friends Conan Gray and Madison Hu. He was also at the Saturday Night Live after-party following her turn as a musical guest, and Just Jared reported they left in a car together.

Olivia Rodrigo's Albums Chart Together — And Something Unusual Is Happening
Olivia Rodrigo's Sour and Guts both rise on the U.K. charts this week, with Sour climbing highest, ... More while Guts appears on physical and digital sales lists. HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA - NOVEMBER 13: Olivia Rodrigo attends the Los Angeles premiere of "The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes" at TCL Chinese Theatre on November 13, 2023 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Monica Schipper/WireImage) There's something a bit unusual about Olivia Rodrigo's placements on the music charts in the United Kingdom this week. It's not odd that her only two full-lengths, Sour and Guts, appear simultaneously. The pop star's catalog remains hugely popular, even though the singer-songwriter hasn't released anything new in years. It's the specific placements and exact positions of both Sour and Guts that may raise eyebrows. Their current standings speak to her ability to continually sell her work, as well as her unceasing success on streaming platforms. Olivia Rodrigo's Sour and Guts Both Climb Deciding between Sour and Guts in terms of which title is more successful on the U.K. musical lists this week is tricky. On one hand, Sour appears higher on the Official Albums chart, the ranking of the most consumed projects in the country, as it lifts to No. 30. Guts is only a few spots behind, landing at No. 34. However, Guts lives on several rankings at the same time. In addition to its position on the Official Albums chart, the collection also climbs on both the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales lists, lifting to Nos. 71 and 76, respectively. Guts Proves to Be the Better Seller Guts is the stronger seller between the two, as it's the only one that lands on rankings dedicated to fans actually buying albums. Pure purchases of Rodrigo's sophomore set seem to be increasing, as it grows by more than 10 spaces on the general Official Albums Sales ranking while ascending just a few spots on the roster that looks specifically at physical titles — those offered on CD, vinyl, and cassette. Sour doesn't live on any such rosters, and yet it still manages to be the most-consumed between the pair. That must mean that between purchases and streaming activity, it's winning – but the fact that Sour doesn't appear on either sales or streaming rosters, yet bests Guts, is somewhat unusual.
