On October 28, 2013, New Zealand’s young sensation, Lorde, claimed the coveted top spot on the UK singles chart with her debut single, ‘Royals.’
At 16, Lorde solidified her place in music history by becoming the youngest solo artist to achieve a UK No.1 since the legendary #BilliePiper’s ‘Because We Want To’ in 1998. Lorde’s journey is even more extraordinary because she was signed to Universal on a development deal at 13, thanks to home recordings of her singing Duffy and Pixie Lott tracks sent by a friend’s father.
