You're breaking records!" exclaimed the show's host, Jimmy Fallon, right after welcoming the Catalan singer. Rosalía has managed to place his new album, Lux...at number 4 on the Billboard chart, the highest position reached so far.

It was quite a challenge, but I pulled through," the artist explained.

One of the most applauded moments of the night was her performance on the show, which is one of the most-watched programs in the United States.

How many languages do you speak?" Fallon asked. "I speak Catalan, which is my native language, and then Spanish and a little English. I wanted to learn different languages; I'd been practicing for a while. And I also wanted to learn how spirituality is experienced in different parts of the world.
