Olivia Rodrigo has been singing as long she can remember. Growing up in Temecula, California, she would belt out the choruses to No Doubt's Bathwater and the White Stripes' Seven Nation Army.
She started vocal lessons in kindergarten and by the age of eight was a talent-show regular. Her ability to inhabit a song was evident even then. "I was so dramatic," she laughs. "There's videos on YouTube of me singing, and I'm so into it. I act everything out and I'm so performative. People always told my mom, 'You should put her in acting lessons.'"
Rodrigo went on to star in two Disney series, Bizaardvark and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, where she plays a student involved in a school production of the classic 2006 musical.
When the show's creators discovered she was a budding musician, they encouraged her to write for the series. One of her songs, a power ballad called All I Want, racked up millions of streams and became a minor chart hit.
But although she arrived in a Disney vehicle, it was her own Drivers License - a devastating break-up ballad - that marked the arrival of pop's brightest new star. After two increasingly impressive singles, and now a number one album, she's on the road to even bigger things.
Olivia also has two other singles in this week's top 10, with Déjà Vu at number four and Traitor at eight.
The highest new entry on the singles chart is Butter by BTS, which at number three, while last week's chart topper Tion Wayne & Russ Millions is at two with Body.
In the albums chart, Sour is followed by three new entries.
Gary Numan's Intruder is at two, Twenty One Pilots are at three with Scaled and Icy and Pink is number four with All I know So Far.
Rag 'n' Bone Man is at number five with Life By Misadventure, which was down two places.
Super Furry Animals' frontman Gruff Rhys is at number 10 with his seventh album Seeking New Gods, which is his first UK Top 10 album.
