The news has not yet been confirmed by Billboard, with the official chart for the week of July 8 released on Sunday, June 25.

Billboard last week predicted Melodrama would launch at number one, earning the equivalent of between 80,000 and 90,000 "album units" in the week after it launched on June 16.

Lorde's first album Pure Heroine peaked at number 3 on the charts after its release in 2013, with lead single Royals topping the Billboard 100 for nine straight weeks.

Katy Perry's newest album Witness is currently sitting in the number one spot for the week of July 1.
