Lorde, Hillsong & Havana Brown Make US Chart Impact

Lorde's American chart explosion has continued this week, with her album Pure Heroine debuting at three on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

The debut comes after the record's lead single Royals topped the Hot 100 singles chart last week. As it holds that position this week her releases have spread all over the charts.

Royals now tops the On-Demand Songs, Digital Songs, Hot Rock Songs, Rock Airplay, Rock Digital Songs and Rock Streaming Songs charts. The album Pure Heroine is top of the Rock Albums and Alternative Albums chart.

Her EP, The Love Club, has entered the Billboard 200 at 65.

In that same chart Australian-based megachurch Hillsong proved they are a favourite of the American Christian market again with We Are Young & Free debuting at 22. It's just behind another US favourite, Keith Urban, whose number one album Fuse is at 21 this week in its fourth week.

Havana Brown was the biggest mover in the Dance/Electronic charts this week, with Flashing Lights up to 27 from 33 in its fifth week. The same song has also cracked the top five in the trend-setting Dance/Club Play charts where it has risen from eight in its eighth week. Iggy Azalea's Work peaked at five a few weeks ago in the same chart, but it's down to 13 in its ninth week today.
