Chart Performance and Milestones
'LUX' earned 46,000 equivalent album units in the U.S., driven by 27,000 streaming equivalent units from 34.1 million on-demand official streams and 19,000 in pure album sales, per Luminate data. This is ROSALÍA's strongest showing on Top Latin Albums, surpassing her previous peaks with 'El Mal Querer' at No. 10 in 2018 and 'Motomami' at No. 3 in 2022. 'Motomami' also held No. 1 on Top Latin Pop Albums for 24 weeks between 2022 and 2023.
The album breaks ground in classical and world music categories.

She also becomes the first Spanish-speaking solo woman to top the World Albums chart, joining acts like Buena Vista Social Club and Santana who have previously led it.
