RODRIGO, OLIVIA - [BF24] GUTS (SPILLED)

Olivia Isabel Rodrigo (born February 20, 2003) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She gained recognition with her lead roles on the Disney television programs Bizaardvark and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. After signing with Geffen and Interscope Records, Rodrigo released her debut single "drivers license" in 2021, which broke various records and became one of the best-selling songs of the year, propelling her to mainstream fame. She followed it up with the singles "deja vu" and "good 4 u". Rodrigo's debut studio album, SOUR, topped the charts globally and was met with widespread critical acclaim. She was nominated in seven categories at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist, Album of the Year for SOUR, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year for "drivers license". Time named her the 2021 Entertainer of the Year and Billboard named her the 2022 Woman of the Year. Rodrigo signed with Interscope Records and Geffen Records in 2020. She negotiated the record deal to secure for herself ownership of the masters of her music. On January 8, 2021, she released her debut single, "drivers license", which she co-wrote with producer Dan Nigro. Within the week of its release, "drivers license" was critically acclaimed, and broke Spotify's record twice for most daily streams ever for a non-holiday song with over 15.7 million global streams on January 11 and over 17 million global streams the next day. It went on to break another Spotify record for the first song in history to hit 80 million streams in 7 days. The song debuted at number one on Billboard Hot 100 and reached number one in numerous other countries. Rodrigo stated in an interview that "It's been the absolute craziest week of my life … My entire life just, like, shifted in an instant." On April 1, 2021, Rodrigo released her follow-up single, "deja vu", which debuted at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100, making her the first artist to debut their first two releases in the top 10 of the Hot 100. The third single preceding her debut album, "good 4 u", followed on May 14, 2021, and became her second single to debut at number one on the Hot 100. SOUR, her debut studio album, was released on May 21, 2021, to critical acclaim. Charlie Gunn of The Forty-Five called it "the greatest coming-of-age album since early Taylor Swift or Lorde". Slate's Chris Molanphy said its first three singles alone established Rodrigo's "early status as Gen-Z's most versatile new artist". According to Clash critic Robin Murray, Rodrigo is regarded as one of Generation Z's finest artists, while Variety dubbed her "the Voice of her Generation" in its cover story of Rodrigo. SOUR debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and spent a total of five weeks at the spot, becoming the longest-reigning number-one album by a female artist in 2021. In June 2021, Rodrigo premiered SOUR Prom, a prom-themed concert film on YouTube. On December 6, 2021, Rodrigo announced a world tour, including tour stops in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Three days later, she was named Entertainer of the Year by Time. In an Instagram post on December 24, 2021, Rodrigo uploaded a snippet of a Christmas song called "The Bels" that she wrote and recorded at age five. According to Billboard, Rodrigo closed 2021 as the best-selling singles artist worldwide, placing eight songs on the year-end Global 200 chart, including "drivers license" at number four, "good 4 u" at number nine, and "deja vu" at number 27. In the US and UK, SOUR was respectively the third and fourth best-selling album of 2021. SOUR and "drivers license" were also respectively Spotify's most streamed album and song globally. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) ranked Rodrigo as the tenth best-selling artist of 2021 and SOUR as the second best-selling album of 2021. On February 17, 2022, Rodrigo announced and released the trailer of her Disney+ documentary film 'Olivia Rodrigo: driving home 2 u', which was released on March 25, 2022. On June 30, 2023, Rodrigo released the lead single to her sophomore album, "Vampire." The single would debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and several other countries' music charts, and her record GUTS released on September 8, 2023. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 among other countries' charts, and its singles "Bad Idea, Right?" and "Get Him Back" debuted in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 — making Rodrigo the first female artist to chart all of her singles in the region. GUTS was nominated for six GRAMMYs — Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, with "Vampire" being nominated for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, and "Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl" being nominated for Best Rock Song. The record was promoted through a Tiny Desk contest, RSD exclusive vinyls, among other mediums. Rodrigo would also release the single "Can't Catch Me Now" as the soundtrack song for "The Hunger Games: Ballads of Songbirds and Snakes," which was met with critical acclaim for its lyricism, imagery, and connection to the novel and film. The song was performed at select "GUTS World Tour" dates as well as the shows she headlined for iHeartRadio's annual Jingle Ball, which included venues she would later tour on the "GUTS World Tour," such as Los Angeles' Kia Forum and New York City's Madison Square Garden. The "GUTS World Tour" would kick off on February 23, 2024 in Palm Springs, California, with Chappell Roan as its special guest. The tour was met with virality and critical acclaim for Rodrigo's vocals, stage presence, and visuals — dubbed as one of the most impressive arena tours to date. The tour featured songs from GUTS SOUR and the GUTS (spilled) track "obsessed," which was only available on vinyl at the time. On tour, Rodrigo announced GUTS (spilled), a deluxe edition of GUTS which released March 22, 2024 and included five additional tracks. The five tracks debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 — to date, each song in Rodrigo's discography has appeared on the chart. In April 2024, Rodrigo was a special guest to No Doubt's Coachella performance. The pop star continued her "GUTS World Tour" throughout 2024, where she performed six nights in Los Angeles, being the first woman to headline Intuit Dome, and is set to close off the tour internationally in Asia.
