Billie Eilish’s Don’t Smile at Me reenters several U.K. charts amid her sold-out Hit Me Hard and … More
Billie Eilish has spent much of July in the United Kingdom, traveling from city to city as part of her massively successful Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour. Her run in the country began in Scotland, and she then headed down to London for half a dozen dates at The O2 Arena, and most recently, she performed in Manchester. All the excitement surrounding her tour has helped Eilish’s music climb the charts in the U.K.
Eilish first made a name for herself nearly a decade ago with her EP Don’t Smile at Me, which dropped when she was just a teenager. The project included her breakout hit “Ocean Eyes,” which went viral and turned her into a hot commodity in the music industry. That set reappears on a number of rankings this frame, as everything connected to the singer-songwriter grows in popularity this week.
Don’t Smile at Me Returns to Several Charts
Don’t Smile at Me returns to both the Official Albums Streaming and Official Albums charts this time around in the U.K. The short project lands at No. 91 on the former and No. 92 on the all-encompassing list of the most-consumed albums and EPs in the nation.
Billie Eilish’s Only Album to Miss the Top 10
Don’t Smile at Me remains Eilish’s only major release to miss the top 10 on the Official Albums chart. Despite the fact that it has now spent almost 250 weeks somewhere on that competitive tally, the set only peaked at No. 12. It did climb all the way to No. 4 on the list of the most-streamed collections in the U.K.
Billie Eilish’s Albums All Soar
In addition to Don’t Smile at Me‘s success, all three of Eilish’s full-lengths are also gaining ground. Hit Me Hard and Soft, which is being promoted by the tour, returns to the top 10 on the Official Albums chart, pushing from No. 12 to No. 10. That set remains a top 40 success on every ranking on which it appears.
Happier Than Ever and When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, her earlier two studio efforts, also push north, jumping to Nos. 35 and 54, respectively.
