‘What was that’ by Lorde is already having considerable success, in contrast to the ‘Solar Power’ era. If the third album of the New Zealand was a small failure, it seems that ‘Virgin’ will run better luck. Especially within what fits, in a year that has barely left a clear international hit.
The new topic has been Top 5 in the Global Spotify Diario, a week after its launch still remains around the top 40 on that list, and also just started to conquer the official lists of each country.
In Australia the theme debuts at number 9 of the weekly lists, being its first top 10 in this country for 8 years, that is, from ‘Green Light’ of ‘Melodrama’.
In the United Kingdom, unfortunately ‘What Was That’ has been right at number 11. Even so, there are reasons to celebrate: no single of ‘Solar Power’, not even ‘melodrama’ arrived so high, because ‘Green Light’ was Top 20. You have to go back to Lorde’s first album, when ‘Royals’ was number 1, to find a better result in UK.
In addition, the theme has been number 1 in New Zealand, number 6 in Ireland and Top 33 in Germany. An entry in the Top 40 in the United States is expected, which would also improve the results of ‘Solar Power’, which was drowned in the 64th position of Billboard Hot 100.
Where Lorde is difficult to be in Spain: ‘What was that’ only reached the 88th position in Spotify Spain and soon abandoned the Top 200, so an official debut is not expected in the Top 100 of Promusicae.
