She was certainly looking to be a world-beater and New Zealand singer Lorde has gone and proven just that, with her hit single, Royals, taking the #1 spot on the US Billboard after holding the #3 position for several weeks. In hitting the top of the charts, the 16 year-old Ella Yelich-O’Connor dethroned Miley Cyrus’ Wrecking Ball. Double yay! Expect huge things from Lorde’s only-just-released debut album, Pure Heroine.
Here’s Lorde performing Royals earlier this week on the Jimmy Fallon Show.
