I don't think so. She's young and talented. She has a long path in front of her...

I see my bitches in here already doing the Lord's work

One hit wonder.
Team will be a middling Top 20 hit, at best.

Team is already a hit, so she's not in the 1HW category

Can't wait for it to smash even harder

The Carly comparison is stupid. People liked Call Me Maybe as a joke, a silly song to sing with your friends. That's why she didn't have another hit.


Lorde is here to stay.

The Summertime Sadness remix is her only hit, and nowhere near as big as CMM or Royals. Yes, she is able to sell albums, because the kind of music she makes attracts a hard-core fanbase that buys her albums. Her album sold well before anyone outside of the internet had even heard of her (when Summertime Sadness became a hit). The music Carly makes attracts a smaller group of hardcore fans, but probably a larger group of casual fans that downloaded her album and songs illegally.

Lorde makes music like Lana, that will attract a fanbase that will buy her album, and having her album out when Royals was smashing I would expect her to outsell Lana (but I have no idea how she's selling).

But she did

Way to come in late but I already handled it for ya
