I SHOULD TAKE MORE PHOTOS was available via streamers and through download services to purchase. The download version available on Benito’s webstore and the iTunes Store for $4.99. A physical version of the album has not been released. Of the album’s starting total, 8,000 units come from album sales, enough for a No. 6 start on the overall Top Album Sales chart. The set is the only Latin album to appear on the chart’s top 10 since Ivan Cornejo’s Look debuted at No. 9 with 9,000 copies sold in August 2024.
Streaming activity contributes 113,500 units which represents 152.6 million official on-demand streams of the 17 songs on the album. The sum yields the largest streaming week for a Latin album in over a year, since Bad Bunny’s own Nobody Knows What's Going To Happen Tomorrow launched at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums with 239.56 million on-demand official streams for its songs (Oct. 28, 2023-dated chart). Track-equivalent album units comprise the remaining 500 units of DeBÍ's first week sum.
