In the US, the album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart and No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking Dua's biggest sales week yet. Following its release in 2020, Dua's certified platinum sophomore album Future Nostalgia became the longest-running top 10 album by a female artist on the Billboard 200 in 2021.
