Commercially, Honeymoon was a global success, topping the charts in Australia, Greece and Ireland, and reaching the Top 5 in over 20 countries, including Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States, where it debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, selling 116,000 units in its first week.
