Olivia Rodrigo's new album dominates Australian charts and draws mixed reviews

Olivia Rodrigo’s third studio album, *you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love*, has held the number‑one spot on Australia’s ARIA Singles Chart for three consecutive weeks and remains high on the ARIA Albums Chart. The record is credited to Geffen Records and has appeared in the top‑positions of charts in more than 15 countries worldwide.

A review of the album notes its blend of upbeat pop and darker lyrical themes, praising the varied instrumentation and the guest appearance of The Cure’s Robert Smith on the track “what’s wrong with me”.
