Both her album You Seem Pretty for a Girl So in Love and song Stupid Song have reached number one
Olivia Rodrigo has scored a double at the Official Irish Charts, reaching number one on both the albums and singles charts. Her latest album, You Seem Pretty for a Girl So in Love, tops the albums chart, while Stupid Song claims the number one spot on the singles chart.
Tracks The Cure and Drop Dead have also secured places in the top five songs.
The chart-topping single was closely followed by Kingfishr’s The Sun Will Never Go Down, while Michael Jackson’s compilation album The Essential Michael Jackson occupies the number two position on the albums chart.
It is not the first time Rodrigo has reached the summit of the charts. Both her debut album, Sour, and its follow-up, Guts, peaked at number one.
The new album has also charted in several countries, including Australia, Germany and Italy and is aiming for the top spot on the Billboard 200 in the United States.
You Seem Pretty for a Girl So in Love arrives three years after its predecessor. The concept album explores the rise and fall of a relationship.
The record also features Rodrigo’s first collaboration with The Cure frontman Robert Smith on What’s Wrong With Me, which premiered during her Primavera Sound set.
