Billie Eilish should be happier than ever: She's become the third artist to surpass 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify, the music streaming platform confirms — and she did it with just 82 songs.
The two-time Oscar winner trails only The Weeknd, who has 107 million monthly listeners, and Taylor Swift, who has 102 million. Both have more than double songs on the streamer than Eilish. And at just 22 years old, that makes the 'Lunch' singer the youngest to reach the 100 million listeners milestone.
“Spotify has been a part of Billie's story from the beginning. Since 'Ocean Eyes,' she has steadily grown her fan base around the world,” says Jeremy Erlich, Spotify's global head of music. Advertising sign. “What her and [brother-collaborator] What Finneas has achieved since 2016 is quite remarkable… and all by the age of 22.”
The singer-songwriter currently has eight songs on the streamer Billionaires Club: “Lovely” with Khalid (2.8 million plays to date), “Bad Guy” (2.5 million), “When the Party's Over” (1.8 million), “Everything I Wanted” (1.6 million), “Ocean Eyes” (1.4 million), “Happier Than Ever” (1.3 million), “Idontwannabeyouanymore” (1.09 million) and “Bury a Friend” (1.01 million).
Eilish's debut single, “Ocean Eyes”, entered the Billboard Hot 100 in 2018 and peaked at No. 84 the following year. Since then, he has racked up 42 more songs on the all-genre chart, with six of them reaching the top 10, including 2019's “Bad Guy,” which topped the chart in August of that year.
Her third album, the 10-track Hit with hard and softwas released in April and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. First album When we all fall asleep, where do we go? and sophomore set Happier than ever both topped the chart for three weeks.
