Later that year, Lorde released her debut studio album Pure Heroine, which included her chart-topper single "Royals". It charted at number one in New Zealand and Australia, and achieved certifications in several countries. As of June 2021, the album has sold over six million copies worldwide. The following year, Lorde recorded four songs for the soundtrack album of the 2014 film The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1, including the single "Yellow Flicker Beat".
Her second studio album, Melodrama, was released in June 2017, and topped the charts in four countries, including the United States. The album also received critical acclaim.
