More The Kid LAROI The Kid LAROI Profile

The Kid LAROI continues going from strength to strength in international territories with another huge achievement secured. 

The 17-year-old Sydney rapper has now been named as having one of the biggest albums in the UK for 2021 so far, seeing him appear on the list alongside artists like Dua Lipa (#1, Future Nostalgia), Foo Fighters (#2, Medicine At Midnight), Harry Styles (#3, Fine Line), Pop Smoke (#4, Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon), Queen (#5, Greatest Hits) and more. 

Coming in at #16 on the list, The Kid LAROI's Fuck Love debut mixtape sees him ahead of artists like Juice Wrld, Ariana Grande, Oasis, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Fleetwood Mac and more on the Official Charts list. 

The mixtape has proven a success all over, with a #10 position in the UK Albums Charts and a #3 spot on the US Billboard 200. 

Additionally, he's also the youngest Australian solo artist to score a local #1 album at 17 years, five months and 22 days, beating Delta Goodrem and her debut album, Innocent Eyes, from 2003 when she was 18 years, 6 months and 20 days.

“Wow, this is insane," said LAROI at the time. "#1 in my own country means more to me than anything in the world. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and been with me through all of this."
