Later that year, Lorde released her debut studio album Pure Heroine, which included "Royals". It charted at number one in New Zealand and Australia, and achieved certifications in several countries. As of June 2021, the album has sold over six million copies worldwide.[6] It was preceded by three additional singles: "Tennis Court", "Team", and "Glory and Gore". "Team" was a top-ten hit in several single charts, including Canada and the United States. The following year, Lorde recorded four songs for the soundtrack album of the 2014 film The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1, including the single "Yellow Flicker Beat".
Her second studio album, Melodrama, was released in June 2017, and topped the charts in four countries, including the United States. It yielded three singles: "Green Light", "Perfect Places" and a remix of "Homemade Dynamite" featuring Khalid, SZA and Post Malone. The former was a top-ten hit in Australia and Canada.
