Lorde Lands First U.S. Number One Album

Lorde

Lorde has landed her first number one album in America! She is so humbled by it and insists her 15-year-old self would be so proud of her huge success.

The Royals singer scored her first Billboard 200 chart-topper on Sunday when Melodrama hit number one and on Monday morning, she took to Twitter to express gratitude to her fans.

“you guys, today we have the number one album in america,” she wrote. “from the bottom of my heart, thankyou (sic).”

The 20-year-old went on to explain how organic the recording process was for the album, which she co-produced with Bleachers rocker Jack Antonoff at his home studio.

“when i was a kid i thought big records had to be made a certain way – to be sterile & calculated in craft; that something had to be sacrificed,” she explained. “i have had the divine thrill of disproving that firsthand, twice over…

“jack and i made this in rooms alone, telling secrets and uncovering truths, and i just know that 15yo (year-old) me would have been so f**king proud…”
