Billie Eilish sees her biggest album debut of her career with her critically acclaimed third studio album Hit Me Hard And Soft, already amassing more than 500 million global streams and debuting at #1 in 14 countries and counting. More chart data will be revealed early next week.
Written entirely by 22-year-old multiple Grammy and two-time Academy Award-winning EIlish, alongside her brother FINNEAS who produced the album, Hit Me Hard And Soft features 10 tracks, and has surpassed the first week numbers of her multi-award-winning, groundbreaking, and history-making 2019 debut album When Do We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? which has amassed more than 69 billion streams and sold an impressive 7.7 million units in the United States and 17.8 million units globally since its release.
In its first week of release, “LUNCH” was the #1 most added song in the U.S with over 250 radio stations and over 20 million in audience reach across multiple formats, and remains the #1 most streamed song globally on Spotify, Apple Music and iTunes. The official music video for “LUNCH” – directed by Billie Eilish – was the biggest debut for a solo song this year on YouTube. Billie Eilish’s social media following has grown by an impressive 23 million and counting since the announcement of Hit Me Hard And Soft last month.
This fall, Billie Eilish will embark on the North American leg of her Hit Me Hard And Soft: The Tour, with dates across Europe and Australia in 2025.
