Eilish also earned the second-biggest sales week for a vinyl in Nielsen history, with 73k copies (behind only Taylor Swift’s ‘evermore’).

The 19-year-old Los Angeles native remains one of the biggest stars to emerge in the 21st century. Eilish’s breakout album, “WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S as well as 17 additional countries around the world upon release in 2019, and was the most streamed album of that year. She later went on to make history that year as the youngest artist to receive nominations and wins in all the major categories at the 62nd GRAMMY® Awards. Most recently, she took home both Record of the Year for “everything i wanted,” and Best Song Written For Visual Media for “No Time To Die” at this year’s 63rd Annual GRAMMY® Awards. Eilish’s forthcoming album ‘Happier Than Ever’ was written by Billie and her brother FINNEAS, who also produced the album.
