New Zealand pop upcomer, Lorde knocked Miley Cyrus off the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week to become the youngest top-spotter in 26 years.
The 16 year-old singer achieved her first U.S number one single with ‘Royals’, replacing Cyrus’ ‘Wrecking Ball’ after a few weeks at third position.
Lorde marked the occasion by appearing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, where she performed that very track. Watch the performance beneath:
