Lorde Lands First ARIA Top 10 Since 2017 With ‘What Was That’

Lorde has officially returned to the ARIA Singles Chart’s top tier, as her latest release “What Was That” debuts at No. 9 this week (May 2).

The new track, co-produced by Dan Nigro — known for his work with Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan and Kylie Minogue — is the lead single from her upcoming fourth studio album. The arrival of her latest single ends a four-year gap between charting releases in Australia and signals the start of a new creative era for the 27-year-old star. The group — led by frontman Tobias Forge and his bandmates, known as the Nameless Ghouls — has steadily climbed the Australian charts over the past decade.
