Sour Olivia Rodrigo

The most talked-about teenager on the planet is sitting on a bed, 3,500 miles away on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, looking impossibly chic in a rented house in London. The room is immaculate in the manner of high-end Airbnbs — pressed linens, botanical wallpaper, fluffy green pillows. Hair pulled back sharp, she’s wearing a velvety leopard-print bomber jacket atop a nondescript black crew neck long-sleeve and black pants, like a behind-the-scenes musical theater hand might. Fitting, considering that before Olivia Rodrigo became an overnight sensation for her monster-hit torch song “drivers license,” she was best known for her role as theater nerd Nini Salazar-Roberts in Disney’s High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. Except, of course, this is real life and she is center stage.

Second studio album by the GRAMMY - winning recording artist. Rodrigo recorded the album with producer Daniel Nigro, who also collaborated with her on 'SOUR', her chart-topping, 4x Platinum debut album. 'For me, this album is about growing pains and trying to figure out who I am at this point in my life', says Olivia Rodrigo. 'I feel like I grew 10 years between the ages of 18 and 20 - it was such an intense period of awkwardness and change. I think that's all just a natural part of growth, and hopefully the album reflects that'. On 'vampire', the album's first single, Rodrigo's increased maturity and bold confidence are apparent.

As we enter the final quarter of 2021, Olivia Rodrigo leads the way with the UK's biggest album of the year so far, OfficialCharts.com can reveal.
