Even Taylor Swift Will Bow Down to Billie Eilish’s One Massive Achievement That Puts Her in the League of the World’s Top Singers
Billie Eilish’s journey is far from over. At just 22 years old, the singer has achieved what many artists only dream of. Now, rewriting music history with a huge fan base, she secures her spot among the world’s best singers.
Eilish isn’t just a musician—she’s a trendsetter. Her unique music and magnetic personality connect with millions around the world. This connection is evident in her Spotify achievement: With only 82 songs, she has hit 100 million monthly listeners, which is definitely a record-breaking feat.
Billie Eilish Sets New Record in Music Industry
Billie Eilish‘s latest feat is becoming the youngest artist ever to hit 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify. It’s even more remarkable when you consider that both Taylor Swift and The Weeknd — who have double the songs in their catalog — are the only artists ahead of her.
The Weeknd currently has 107 million monthly listeners, and Swift stands at 102 million listeners on Spotify. This makes Eilish the 3rd artist ever to reach 100 million. Jeremy Erlich, Spotify’s global head of music, told The Hollywood Reporter:
Spotify has been a part of Billie’s story from the start. Ever since ‘Ocean Eyes,’ she has continuously grown her fan base around the world. What she and [brother-collaborator] Finneas have achieved since 2016 is quite remarkable … and all this by the age of 22.
The goth-pop princess’ success shows how powerful her music is. Eilish’s talent goes well beyond streaming stats. She has earned Grammy and Oscar awards, topping charts with her hits. Her latest album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, debuted at No. 2 on Billboard 200, with all 10 tracks in the top 40 of Billboard Hot 100. Notably, she has become the youngest two-time Oscar winner with her song What Was I Made For? from the movie Barbie.
Billie Eilish Opens Up About Love Struggles
Billie Eilish might be thriving in her career, but she has admitted to having relationship challenges. Eilish spoke to Lana Del Rey for Interview magazine and got candid about her experiences with love and relationships. The Gen Z icon revealed that she dislikes who she becomes when she’s in love.
The Grammy award winner explained that she has difficulty being vulnerable in romantic relationships. “I have a power issue and a control issue,” Eilish said, “and I also don’t like being vulnerable in a romantic way. It makes me feel uncomfortable.” The Lunch singer also mentioned that she often hides her feelings and would rather appear cool than express her emotions.
