Meanwhile, another accolade has been bestowed upon New Zealand's current music royalty. The Auckland teen has taken the number six spot of Billboard's "21 Under 21" list of 2013, only being surpassed by One Direction, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande, and Earl Sweatshirt respectively.
"At this time last year, Ella Yelich-O'Connor was an unknown 15-year-old in New Zealand, still two months away from releasing her debut EP for free on the Internet. Fast forward one calendar frame, and one of the songs on that EP, "Royals," is a record-setting hit on Billboard's Alternative chart and a Top 5 single on the U.S. Hot 100," explained Billboard on "Why She's Hot."
"It's creator, now known as Lorde, is one of the most fascinating new talents in pop music, with sold-out shows, a beguiling debut album titled 'Pure Heroine,' and an astoundingly level head about her heightened profile.
"The head of Lorde's record label says that she could be 'the artist of her generation,' and thousands agree. It's time to hail Lorde with a spot in this year's Top 10."
Completing the "21 Under 21" list are (from 7th to 21st place): Austin Mahone, Scotty McCreery, Cody Simpson, Emblem3, Cher Lloyd, Chief Keef, Bridgit Mendler, Miguelito, Joey Bada$$, Tori Kelly, Martin Garrix, Mindless Behavior, Matty B, Lee Hi, and Fifth Harmony.
