“Chromatica debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, with 274,000 album-equivalent units (including 205,000 pure album sales) sold during its first week becoming the biggest opening week sales for a woman and the fifth overall biggest opening week for a Billboard 200 chart topper in 2020. At the time of the album's release, only one other album by a woman had topped the charts, Rare by Selena Gomez. Billboard's Keith Caulfield noted that 75% of the total units came from album sales, which were bolstered by "dozens of merchandise/album bundles sold via her official webstore, and a concert ticket/album sale offer with her three upcoming U.S. stadium shows scheduled for August".[123] The album also accumulated a total of 87.16 million on-demand streams of individual album tracks in the week ending June 13. Moreover Gaga broke the record for taking the least amount of time to achieve six number one album's by a female artist, having achieved the feat in nine years and two days and besting the previous record set by Taylor Swift of ten years, nine months. Gaga's one of eight women to have six number one albums, the others being Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Swift, all with six each, as well as Barbra Streisand with 11, Madonna with nine and Janet Jackson with seven.”
