Olivia Rodrigo - Guts [Lavender]

Three-time Grammy winner Olivia Rodrigo followed up her blockbuster debut with GUTS, released September 8, 2023, on Geffen Records. Recorded again with producer Dan Nigro, who'd shaped SOUR's chart-topping, quadruple-platinum success, GUTS finds Rodrigo working through what she's described as growing pains and the process of figuring out exactly who she is and what she wants to say, a genuine sophomore statement rather than a rehash of her debut's formula.

Lead single "vampire" debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100, giving Rodrigo her third US number one and setting a Spotify record for the biggest debut of a solo song in 2023, while "Bad Idea Right?" pushed into the Top 10 across multiple countries and topped the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. Rodrigo made history with the album too, becoming the first artist ever to chart every song from two consecutive career-opening albums in the Hot 100's Top 40, a remarkable run that speaks to how consistently sharp her songwriting has remained.

GUTS debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and topped the charts in the UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, and beyond, actually outselling SOUR in its opening week both in the US and UK. Critics responded just as strongly, praising the album's wit, specificity, and energy as proof that Rodrigo's debut was no fluke.

This indie exclusive pressing comes on lavender vinyl, a striking physical edition of one of pop's most acclaimed recent sophomore records.
