The journey from Disney child star to pop music phenomenon has a rich history. From Britney Spears to Miley Cyrus, Disney has provided a platform for rising stars to hone their talents, helping them shape their careers after children's series. Since leaving the Disney+ series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, Olivia Rodrigo has been taking the right steps on her path to superstardom. Her achievements so far indicate that she is still in the early stages of her career.

Her latest studio album "you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love" continues to prove that she is the future of pop music. The young singer-actress has shattered numerous records with each new release, shaking up the competition in the industry. To celebrate her successes, we list seven significant milestones that Rodrigo has broken. From making history at the Grammy Awards to dominating major streaming platforms, Rodrigo's talent delivers what the music industry and music lovers need.

You might remember Olivia Rodrigo as Grace Thomas in the film An American Girl: Grace Stirs Up Success or as Paige Olvera in Disney Channel’s Bizaardvark. However, her true talent emerged with High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, which allowed a broader audience to discover Rodrigo's acting and singing abilities. After the second season of the series, Rodrigo released her debut studio album SOUR. This album is not only a fantastic record but also a record-breaking one.

On January 8, 2021, Rodrigo released her debut single "drivers license," which entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number one. The follow-up single "deja vu" debuted at number eight, making her the first artist to have her first two releases in the Hot 100's top 10. However, her third attempt broke a major record; the third single "good 4 u" was released on May 14, 2021, and became her second single to debut at number one on the Hot 100. This made SOUR the first debut album to produce two songs on the US Billboard Hot 100. With a rapid start featuring three hit songs, Rodrigo has established herself as a significant player in the pop music genre and marked the beginning of a new musical era.
