The 'Havana' hitmaker took to Twitter to express her excitement that her LP 'Camila' had topped the US charts.

Alongside a string of crying face emojis, she wrote: "MY ALBUM IS NUMBER 1 ON BILLBOARD HOT 200!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM CRYING ON THE STREET (sic)"

And the 20-year-old singer previously admitted her music career and her life are running in a "parallel line".

Camila explained: "For me, my music and my life are in this parallel line. You know, that is why I changed the album title, because I was like, I'm not in that place anymore. We have to live in the same ... you know, we have to live at the same time. I feel like whenever I'm done with an album, I feel like this is the end of a chapter. The next part is about collecting memories and experiences for the next thing - it's nice.

"The album takes a turn where it becomes really introspective and heavy and confessional. So the tracklist was something I spent forever working on. I just tried every single possibility. I played it for my friends in the car in a bunch of different orders, because I didn't like ending it with a [sighs], you know."

Camila thinks there is a lot of "breaking barriers" in the music industry right now.

She said: "I think that the good thing about social media and the internet is that I feel like it makes the world smaller and it just kind of breaks down barriers between languages, between people, between cultures, and I think that might have something to do with that. I've been listening to Spanish music forever because that's just not even Spanish music to me, it's just music

"But I feel like with everything that's gone on this year and also with groups like K-pop groups performing on American award shows and making their way into the mainstream American industry, I just feel like there's a lot of just breaking barriers. Which I think is super beautiful, and I don't know exactly what there is to credit for that, but I'm definitely glad it's happening."
