BillboardThe Hot Alternative Songs charts are still relatively new (just over a year now), but already one musician stands out as perhaps the most successful of his short tenure. Billie Eilish soared to stardom at the right time to conquer the tally again and again, and this week she does it again thanks to the immediate and incredible popularity of her new album. Happier than ever.
This week, Eilish appears in 14 spaces of the Hot Alternative Songs chart. It would be an impressive performance on any Billboard list, but this gender-specific tally is shorter than most, which makes the 19-year-old’s performance even more incredible and praiseworthy.
The array of hot alternative songs only has 25 spaces, so by filling 14 of them with her recent releases, Eilish is claiming more than half of the full roster for herself. It is a rare sight on any Billboard list, and one that is reserved for only the biggest and most powerful acts on the planet.
The title track from Eilish’s new album, “Happier Than Ever,” ranks No. 1, bringing her back to the top for the second time in her career. She previously reigned with “My Future”, which is not present this time around.
Eilish is actually halfway through all of the top 10 spots this time around, scoring four new top level field goals with his first smashes. In addition to the immediate hit “Happier Than Ever”, Eilish began her album cuts “Getting Older”, “Billie Bossa Nova” and “Oxytocin” at numbers 8, 9 and 10, respectively. Current single “NDA” climbs to # 6 after peaking at # 3. She has now appeared somewhere between # 1 and # 10 with 11 different tracks.
Of his 14 hits currently listed on this week’s Hot Alternative Songs chart, three are not debuts. The previously mentioned “NDA” moved up a few places, while “Lost Cause” and “Your Power” regained a place in the rankings. These last two cups have already reached numbers 3 and 2, respectively.
Here’s where all of Billie Eilish’s hits rank in this week’s Hot Alternative Songs chart.
N ° 1 – “Happier than ever”
N ° 6 – “NDA”
N ° 8 – “Aging”
