Release and reception

AW spent 16 weeks at number one on the Hitlisten album chart.[2] It was the most popular album on the chart in 2025.[2] This marks the first time since 1999—when the girl group Creamy had the most popular album of the year—that a woman had taken the top spot.[3][4] The album received 4 out of 6 stars from Soundvenue, which described it as a "confident and self-aware album."[5] Gaffa called it "a musical show of power" in their review.[6] It is a follow-up to her successful EP Nye Tider, released in 2024.[7]
