Lorde’s fourth studio album, Virgin, has made a powerful entrance on the U.S. charts, debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and claiming the top spot across five major Billboard categories, including Top Album Sales, Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Alternative Albums, Vinyl Albums, and Indie Store Album Sales.
The release marks the strongest U.S. chart debut for the New Zealand artist since her 2017 sophomore album, Melodrama. Virgin has already surpassed 250 million streams globally and achieved a career milestone in vinyl, with 31,000 copies sold in the U.S making it Lorde’s highest-ever weekly vinyl sales.
Continuing her streak of alternative chart dominance, Virgin becomes Lorde’s fourth consecutive album to debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Alternative Albums chart. It also debuted at No. 1 in her home country of New Zealand and in Australia, maintaining her global chart consistency.
Co-produced by Lorde and Jim-E Stack, Virgin explores new sonic territory while diving deep into raw emotional themes. The album features the widely praised singles “What Was That,” “Man of the Year,” and “Hammer,” and has been lauded for its bold production and lyrical vulnerability.
The album’s success also sets the stage for the sold-out Ultrasound World Tour, kicking off this September in North America and running through December with stops across the U.S., Canada, the UK, and Europe.
Following its historic No. 1 debut on the UK Official Albums Chart — her first chart-topper in the region — Virgin marks a new high for Lorde’s streaming and physical sales in the UK.
With Virgin, Lorde reaffirms her position as one of pop’s most fearless and inventive voices — a global force equally celebrated her commercial reach and artistic ambition.
