The discography of New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde consists of one studio album, two extended plays, three singles and three music videos. At the age of 13, she was signed to Universal Music Group (UMG)[4] and started to write music.[5] In November 2012, when she was 16 years old,[6] she self-released her first major release The Love Club EP through complimentary SoundCloud[7] A song from the EP, "Royals" became a hit in New Zealand in early-2013,[8] following The Love Club EP's release for sales in March 2013 through UMG.[9] In October 2013, "Royals" topped numerous mainstream charts internationally, including the US Billboard Hot 100.[6][10]

In September 2013, the singer released her debut studio album Pure Heroine.[2] The record peaked at number one in New Zealand and Australia,[10][11] and achieved multiple certifications in countries including New Zealand, Australia, United Kingdom, United States and Canada. "Tennis Court" was released as a single from the album in June 2013.[12] It performed well in New Zealand, peaking at number one atop the country's singles chart.[11] In September, the follow-up single "Team" was released.[13] The record became a top-three hit in New Zealand.[11] It was also Lorde's second top-ten US hit, charting at number 8 on the Hot 100.[14] As of January 2014, Lorde has sold 6.8 million tracks in the US.[15]
