Bad Bunny has shot up the UK charts after his headline-making Super Bowl half-time show and Grammy win.

The Puerto Rican superstar's Spanish-language album Debí Tirar Más Fotos (I Should Have Taken More Photos), previously peaked at number 13 in the UK albums chart after its release last year.

It has now climbed 42 places over the past week to take the number two slot, with Olivia Dean's The Art of Loving just holding it back from taking the top spot.

This marks the first time Bad Bunny has made it into the UK's top 10 album chart.

His hit DtMF also jumped 39 places to claim number four in the UK singles chart - his highest position so far, according to the Official Charts Company.

Meanwhile, his track NUEVAYoL has reached fifteenth and BAILE INoLVIDABLE got to number 20.

The 31-year-old, who was the world's most-played artist in 2025 according to Spotify, made history by becoming the first musician to perform entirely in Spanish at a Super Bowl, normally the most-watched event on US TV.

The 14-minute set featured a number of his hit songs - including DtMF, Tití Me Preguntó and MONACO - and honoured the culture of Puerto Rico.

His performance also included guest performances from Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, along with cameos from the likes of Pedro Pascal, Cardi B, Karol G and Jessica Alba.

To close out the show, he chose to say one line in English, "God bless America", before listing nations of Central, South and North America as dancers carried their flags.

The chart triumph continues Bad Bunny's run of success, following his Grammy win earlier this month, when he became the first artist to win album of the year for a record sung entirely in Spanish.

He saw off tough competition from artists including Lady Gaga and Kendrick Lamar to win the night's top prize for Debí Tirar Mas Fotos.

The musician dedicated the award to immigrants who "leave their home, land, their country, to follow their dreams".

Elsewhere in the charts, Olivia Dean's The Art of Loving has become the longest-running number one album by a British female this decade, according to the Official Charts Company.

The second album by the London-born artist has spent seven non-consecutive weeks in the top spot since it was released last September.

And the soundtrack for 2025 video game of the year Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 topped the physical albums chart after getting a deluxe vinyl release.

The score, composed by Lorien Testard after he was discovered via SoundCloud, also reached number 16 in the official albums chart.
