Lorde’s new album Virgin debuts at number two on the Billboard charts:
”Virgin” sold 31,000 copies on vinyl during its first week, her best weekly tally ever in the LP format. Eight different vinyl variants were available of Lorde’s album, including signed editions. Combining that LP total with additional sales in digital and CD formats, “Virgin” sold 41,000 copies altogether, accounting for more than half of her overall unit total.

As we talk in her apartment and around her city, Lorde often repeats how “terrified” she is to open up about the album — and to let the world hear it. There are songs she forebodingly describes as “rugged,” vulnerable, and messy, fitting for an artist who’s unlearning the conditioning that taught her to be digestible and “good.”
“There’s going to be a lot of people who don’t think I’m a good girl anymore, a good woman. It’s over,” she promises, eyes bright and full of fire. “It will be over for a lot of people, and then for some people, I will have arrived. I’ll be where they always hoped I’d be.”

Lorde and David Byrne interviewed each other for Rolling Stone:
Byrne: I don’t mind. I’ve learned the hard way that you do have to play some of the hits for the audience.
Lorde: Did you use to not play them?
Byrne: Just one tour [in 1989]. I started working with a very large Latin band, and there were a few older songs that I could work in there, but a lot of them didn’t fit that musical style, so I was doing 80 percent new stuff that the audience had never heard. That’s something in our business that always puzzles me. It’s not like a movie, where you’re not expected to do that scene that you did: “The one before that we really liked. Can you just repeat that again?”
Lorde: True, that’s a funny way of thinking about that.
Byrne: But it’s also true that music has a different thing. Music is repeatable that way and can move people again.
