“Olivia’s trajectory to superstardom is the stuff of pop music legend,” said Billboard’s Editorial Director Hannah Karp in a statement. “Her talents as a storyteller and songwriter have made Olivia one of the most authentic and exciting new artists to explode onto the scene in years.”

“Connecting with audiences across generations through emotionally charged songs about heartbreak, jealousy, and growing up, she’s achieved absolutely incredible chart success for a debut artist. We are thrilled to celebrate her unique voice and the enormous impact she’s had on fans around the globe in such a short time,” Karp added.

“Sour” was named the no. 1 album of 2021 by Rolling Stone and landed on several of Billboard’s year-end lists. All 11 tracks of the debut album also charted in the Top 30 of Billboard Hot 100.

The 18-year-old Rodrigo also earned seven Grammy nominations, including record of the year, album of the year, and song of the year.
