About Olivia Rodrigo

With the arrival of her record-breaking, quadruple-platinum debut single "drivers license," critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo revealed the tremendous power of her raw self-expression - and ultimately cemented her status as the most promising young artist to emerge with the release of her first full-length album, SOUR - out now on Geffen Records.       

Named the #1 Album of 2021 by Rolling Stone and called one of the Best Albums of 2021 by the New York Times, SOUR landed at the top of several Billboard year-end lists including the top Global 200 Artist, top Overall New Artist, top Hot 100 Artist, top Hot 100 Female Artist, and top Hot 100 Songwriter. Capping off Rodrigo's banner year, Rodrigo won "New Artist of the Year" at the 2021 American Music Awards and earned seven nominations for the 2022 Grammy(R) Awards, making her the second youngest artist in Grammy(R) history to score nods in each of the Big Four categories in the same year.  Now RIAA Double Platinum Certified, upon its release, Rodrigo's LP SOUR debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Upon its release, SOUR scored the most U.S. audio streams from a female debut album ever and broke the record for the most-streamed album in a week by a female artist in Spotify history with over 385M global steams. The album produced two #1 songs "drivers license" (4x Platinum) and "good 4 u" (3x Platinum), the top 5 song "deja vu" (2x Platinum). All 11 tracks from the album have landed in the top 30 of Billboard's Hot 100, making Rodrigo the first female artist, and the fourth act overall, to simultaneously chart 11 or more songs in the top 30.

All throughout SOUR, Rodrigo displays her incredible talent for capturing complex emotions in high-impact pop songs. Entirely co-written by Rodrigo, the album embodies a minimalist but mesmerizing form of alt-pop, each song centered on her beautifully detailed storytelling and unforgettably original narrative voice. SOUR is a collection of songs fully reflecting her undeniable boldness and songwriting prowess.
