Lorde’s debut single ‘Royals’ has officially joined YouTube’s Billion Views Club, a milestone that solidifies her status as a music sensation. The song, which was released in 2013, was a massive hit and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for nine weeks, making Lorde the youngest chart-topper since 1987 at just 16 years old. ‘Royals’ earned Grammy nominations for record of the year, song of the year, and best pop solo performance, winning the latter two categories.
Lorde’s success with ‘Royals’ paved the way for her subsequent albums, including Pure Heroine, Melodrama, and more. With her label contract recently expiring, Lorde is looking forward to starting fresh with a ‘clean slate.’ The singer expressed her excitement for the future, stating that she feels ‘a feeling of openness and possibility’ and is inspired by the new chapter ahead. As Lorde embarks on this new journey, fans can continue to celebrate her achievements, including the iconic ‘Royals’ music video, which has now been viewed over 1 billion times on YouTube.
