Starrgirl’s international run picks up another marker. Ayra Starr’s third album has debuted at No. 3 on Spotify’s Top Albums Debut chart in the UK, adding another major Western market to an already stacked opening week.
The UK debut COMES alongside the album’s No. 2 finish on Spotify’s Global Top Albums Debut chart and its No. 6 opening in the US, giving Starrgirl top three or top ten debuts across three of Spotify’s most closely watched markets. It also lines up with the album’s earlier placement in the UK’s top 15 on Apple Music, reinforcing that this isn’t a one-platform story. The UK has long been one of the more receptive markets for Afrobeats, and a top three debut chart placement there puts Starrgirl in strong company for the week.
With debuts now logged across Apple Music, Spotify Global, Spotify US and Spotify UK, plus the iTunes Top 30 milestone, Starrgirl’s first week is shaping up to be one of the most complete chart runs of Ayra Starr’s career so far.
