Since her last North American tour — which included stops at 2014’s Coachella Festival and an impromptu appearance on stage with Nirvana’s Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic at this year’s annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Awards — Lorde’s debut album “PURE HEROINE” continues its presence at the top of U.S. charts.
Her quadruple platinum single “Royals” holds record for “Longest #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 by a Female Artist in 2013.”
Her previous single “Team” is her second #1 on Adult Top 40, making her the first female artist in Billboard history to rule over the AAA Radio Airplay chart with two songs.”Team” also held the top spot for four weeks and landed at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 with over 1.7 billion in radio audience to date.
In January Lorde won Grammys for “Song of the Year” and “Best Pop Solo Performance.” The musician has since been nominated for an impressive 12 Billboard Music Awards and took home awards for “Best New Artist” and “Best Rock Song” for her debut single “Royals”
Her current single “Tennis Court” was performed for the very first time on national television at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards, held in Las Vegas.
Since it’s release in September 2013, “PURE HEROINE” has reached PLATINUM status and has sold over 1.2 million copies.
“Team” recently held the #1 spot on Top 40, Alt, Hot AC, and AAA, becoming the number one pop song in the country.
