Lorde is a Grammy-winning artist and cultural force, known for her genre-defying sound, introspective lyricism, and striking creative vision. Since her breakthrough with Pure Heroine in 2013, she has redefined the contours of modern pop—merging poetic storytelling with minimalist, emotionally resonant production. To date, she has amassed over 18 billion global streams and 18 million album sales worldwide.
In April 2025, she returned with ‘What Was That’, her first original release in four years. The single debuted to widespread acclaim and commercial success, hitting #1 on Spotify in the US — her first US #1 on the platform since ‘Royals’. It also landed at #3 in the UK and #5 globally, reaffirming her place at the forefront of pop music.
Lorde released her fourth studio album Virgin in June 2025, which debuted at #1 in New Zealand, Australia, UK and #2 in the US. Virgin’s chart success follows significant global momentum, with release day marking the biggest single day streaming record for Lorde with over 21.5M streams. The album also claimed #1 on the Spotify Global Debut Album Chart, with 5 of the top 10 Spotify Global debut songs coming from Virgin.
