Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft celebrates 52 weeks on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart, … More
Billie Eilish has only released three full-length albums — an incredible stat to ponder, considering how hugely successful she has become. She first made her name with the short project Don’t Smile at Me, an EP that preceded her debut album and introduced her to the world, and which also became a big commercial win.
As of this week, all of her releases have now reached the same important milestone in the United Kingdom. People in that country just can’t seem to stop streaming and buying all the music the young talent has made, and their continued listening has kept her trio of full-lengths and her EP on the tally for a landmark length of time.
Hit Me Hard and Soft Reaches a Full Year
Hit Me Hard and Soft, Eilish’s latest full-length, has now spent 52 weeks on the Official Albums Chart. In fact, the title hits that milestone on four different rosters, including those dedicated to streaming activity and pure purchases.
This week, Hit Me Hard and Soft is falling on all four of the tallies on which it appears, and the same can be said for her other two projects, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? and Happier Than Ever. Hit Me Hard and Soft is her top performer at the moment, sitting just below the top 10 on both the Official Albums and Official Albums Streaming charts, while dipping below the top 40 on the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums rankings.
Billie Eilish’s Entire Discography Has Reached the Milestone
Eilish has sent four projects to the Official Albums chart, the U.K.’s ranking of the most consumed albums and full-lengths in the country. Now that Hit Me Hard and Soft celebrates 52 weeks on the tally, all four of them have made it to that milestone, and the other three have pushed far beyond it.
When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? is Eilish’s longest-charting success, having just recently passed the 250-frame mark. Don’t Smile at Me isn’t far behind, with 246 stays on the list. Happier Than Ever, her sophomore set, is up to 139 weeks.
Billie Eilish’s No. 1 Albums
All three of Eilish’s full-lengths have reached No. 1 on the Official Albums chart, as well as on almost every other ranking. Only Don’t Smile at Me missed out — not just on the throne, but even the top 10, as it peaked at No. 12.
“Birds of a Feather” and “Wildflower”
Hit Me Hard and Soft is largely being powered by several singles that are still performing well in the U.K., though the set is popular as a whole as well. “Birds of a Feather” is flying high inside the top 40, while “Wildflower” barely manages to hold on, dropping to No. 96 on the main singles tally. Both tunes can be found on the Official Streaming chart as well, and “Birds of a Feather” remains a bestseller on multiple rosters as well.
