Billie Eilish’s Debut Reaches A Major Milestone, Marking A First For Her

By the time When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? rolled around, Billie Eilish was already a star in the music world. That album, her first full-length, turned her into a global powerhouse and a true hitmaker. The project has barely waned in popularity in the years since its release, and people are still consuming the set, which produced hits like “You Should See Me in a Crown,” “Bury a Friend,” and of course, the worldwide sensation “Bad Guy.”

Eilish remains a force to be reckoned with on the charts in the United Kingdom, and this week is a notable one as her entire catalog climbs and her debut project reaches a major milestone.

Billie Eilish’s Debut Album Reaches a Huge Number

As of this frame, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? has spent 250 weeks on the Official Albums chart. That tally ranks the most consumed projects in the U.K., blending both pure purchases and streaming activity. This set marks the first for Eilish to make it to that notable landmark number.

When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? has spent four more weeks on the Official Albums chart than both Happier Than Ever and Hit Me Hard and Soft – her other two full-lengths – combined. It lived at No. 1 for three frames, while both titles that followed only managed one stay on the throne.

Billie Eilish’s Streaming Success

When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? has spent even more time on the Official Albums Streaming chart than the main all-consumption list. The introductory title has now reached 260 weeks — or five full years — on the list of the most played releases on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others.

Though When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? still appears on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums rankings this frame, it has yet to crack 200 weeks on either of those rankings.

Billie Eilish’s Three Albums are Still Charting

Both of Eilish’s other full-lengths are also present on the Official Albums chart this time around. Happier Than Ever is up to 138 stays. Hit Me Hard and Soft, her most recent full-length, only needs one more turn on the tally before it reaches its first full year. The set will almost certainly make it to that number next time around, as it’s still living inside the top 10.

Billie Eilish’s Don’t Smile at Me EP

Amazingly, Eilish’s first EP Don’t Smile at Me is just shy of that 250-week milestone. The several-song-long effort has racked up 246 stays somewhere on the 100-spot roster. It will likely become her next project to hit that landmark number sometime soon, although it does not take up space on the tally at the moment.
