Fans Claim Lorde’s ‘Virgin’ CDs Don’t Work in Most CD Players

People are going on social media to share that they can't get the translucent 'Virgin' CD that Lorde has been selling on her website to play.

Lorde is selling CD versions of her new album, Virgin, that are crystal clear, recyclable, and not listenable — at least for some fans. “Pretty disappointing, I know it was for an aesthetic but at least press it on normal CDs, too.” Another TikTok user shared their frustration in a video and showed how even their in-car CD player couldn’t read the disc either. “The worst part is, this is the only version of the CD.” This is true; Lorde ‘s website only shows a sold-out listing for the clear Virgin CD, along with several vinyl variations.
