ABOUT OLIVIA RODRIGO

After shattering records with her chart-topping, 4x Platinum debut album SOUR – the fastest album in history to have all of its songs certified RIAA Platinum or higher – Olivia Rodrigo made a monumental return with her new album GUTS, revealing newly heightened sophistication as a vocalist and lyricist. Produced by and co-written with Daniel Nigro (her main creative partner on SOUR), each song intensifies the emotional honesty that’s always imbued her work, leading The New York Times to hail her as “a songwriter of rather astonishing purity.” The Los Angeles Times called GUTS a “masterpiece” and Rolling Stone praised it as an “instant classic.”

GUTS debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, coinciding with lead single “vampire” returning to the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and Rodrigo’s No. 1 ranking on the Artist 100, thereby giving her a chart triple. Rodrigo is the first female artist in nearly a decade to debut her first two albums atop the Billboard 200 and the youngest artist in Hot 100 history to debut three hits at No. 1 (“vampire” and SOUR’s “drivers license” and “good 4 u”). GUTS’ remaining 11 tracks charted in the top 40 of the Hot 100. When critics reflected on the best albums of 2023, GUTS appeared on more than 30 lists, including The New York Times, Rolling Stone, NPR, Pitchfork and Billboard.

Opening at No. 1 on the UK’s Official Albums Chart, GUTS outsold the rest of the top 10 combined and had the biggest week 1 streams this year. The album also topped the charts over thirteen countries including Canada, Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Australia, and New Zealand. GUTS broke records on Apple Music, becoming the fastest project to rank #1 in 80 countries, and with 28 million first day U.S. streams on Spotify, it surpassed SOUR and became her biggest Spotify U.S. album debut.

Rodrigo is currently on a sold-out 75-date arena tour across North America, Europe, and the UK with stops in Miami, Toronto, New York, London, Manchester, Glasgow and more. The GUTS World Tour is taking her to renowned venues worldwide such as Madison Square Garden, Kia Forum, Sportpaleis, and The O2.
