Mamma Mia! Cher‘s new album of ABBA covers, Dancing Queen, has debuted at #3 on the Billboard album chart, tying the record for her highest-charting solo album ever. What’s more, it also scored the biggest sales week of the year for any pop album by a woman.
No pop album by a woman has sold more in a week in 2018 than Dancing Queen. Taylor Swift‘s Reputation was the last pop release by a female artist to sell more, and that was back in December of 2017.
Billboard notes that one reason Cher’s album had such great sales is because it was part of a promotion that included a ticket to her upcoming U.S. tour. The Here We Go Again tour launches in North America on January 17, 2019, in Estero, Florida.
