Olivia Rodrigo shared a post reflecting on its creation and subsequent success.‘Sour’ was an immediate smash-hit upon its release last May, leading Rodrigo to smash multiple chart records; she gave the US’ Billboard 200 chart the biggest first-week figures it’d seen for 2021, made UK chart history as the first female artist with three of the top five singles in the same week, and became the youngest artist to land a UK Number One on two concurrent charts – a milestone that she hit two weeks in a row.In the months since its release, the album has racked up 15 Platinum certificates across seven countries, including three each in the US, Canada and Norway.Honouring the record’s first birthday, Rodrigo said it was “impossible for [her] to sum up in words how much this album means to [her] and how grateful [she is] to have gotten the privilege to make it and watch it exist in the world”.

She also gave a shoutout to producer Dan Nigro, and thanked “everyone who has embraced [her] 17 year old lamentations and forever changed [her] life in the process”.A post shared by Olivia Rodrigo (@oliviarodrigo)‘Sour’ was released on May 21, 2021 via Geffen, flanked her breakout hit ‘Driver’s License’, as well as singles ‘Deja Vu’, ‘Good 4 U’, ‘Brutal’ and ‘Traitor’.

To follow it up, she released two Disney+ films: ‘Sour Prom’ and ‘Driving Home 2 U (A Sour Film)’.NME gave ‘Sour’ a four-star review, writer Rhian Daly saying: “When your first release is a track as ubiquitous as ‘drivers license’, it must be tough going to make a whole album that matches up.

For the most part, Rodrigo has passed the bar she set on that single, sharing with us an almost-masterpiece that’s equal parts confident, cool and exhilaratingly real.
