January 3, 20251 yr HIT ME HARD AND SOFT ended up being my favourite album of 2024 :wub: 'WILDFLOWER' is one of the most understated moments on the album production-wise, so it didn't fully grab me immediately, but I've warmed to it more over time
January 3, 20251 yr WILDFLOWER is amazing. Hit Me Hard And Soft was one of my favourite albums of 2024. Billie really came into her own with that album.

It helps that the actor and singer-songwriter—born in 1999 in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania—pursued both sides of her career in tandem, releasing music while establishing a regular presence on the Disney Channel and through other acting gigs, including on Broadway. And on her first two albums—2015’s Eyes Wide Open and 2016’s EVOLution—Carpenter set herself apart from her teenage peers with her deft delivery and her eagerness to embrace plenty of dance music sounds. Singular Act I and Singular Act II—a two-part album that dropped in 2018 and 2019—provided yet more proof of her fast-developing abilities as a singer and songwriter who had moved past teen-star stereotypes to become a full-fledged club powerhouse. Later, Carpenter stepped back sonically to express herself more personally, as on the intimately acoustic “skinny dipping,” from her fifth album, emails i can’t send. Still, the sheer fun of it all has never waned. Just listen to one of the many ad-libbed outros in her live performances of the album’s pop hit “Nonsense,” or indeed the lyrical playfulness of “Espresso,” the flirty funk banger that became summer 2024’s defining hit—and which provided Carpenter’s official breakout moment. Next came the Jack Antonoff-produced “Please Please Please” (which became the summer’s second-biggest hit) and her sixth record Short n’ Sweet, a showcase of the most winking, witty music of Carpenter’s career so far. But if it saw the newly crowned pop princess take aim at past relationships, it also saw her take aim at herself. “A lot of what I really love about this album is the accountability,” she told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “I will call myself out just as much as I will call out someone else.” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2021 28 Skin -NAS- 2023 32 Nonsense -1- 2023 19 Feather -2- 2023 16 A Nonsense Christmas -1- 2023 83 buy me presents -AT- 2024 01 Espresso -1- MILLIONAIRE 2024 01 Please Please Please -2- MILLIONAIRE 2024 01 Taste -3- 2024 06 Bed Chem -4- 2024 24 Juno -AT- 3 x #1 | 3 x Top 5 | 4 x Top 10 | 6 x Top 20 | 9 x Top 40 | 10 x Top 100 Social Media Sabrina Carpenter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 14 | 80 | 33rd week Billie Eilish BIRDS OF A FEATHER 2nd single from HIT ME HARD AND SOFT Released: 17th May 2024 Label: Darkroom / Interscope Records Chart Statistics NE (30/05/2024) | 9-5-5-4-4-5-5-4-5-2-3-4-2-3-6-5-14-20-18-15-19-16-16-21-18-13-19-25-48-48-46-80-14 Sales: 1,200,000+ Certification: 2x Platinum Standard: Accelerated Chart Ratio 01 Sales 02 Audio Streaming 03 Video Streaming Video V9PVRfjEBTI Biography When singer-songwriter Billie Eilish feels something new, the first thing she does is take out her phone and write it down. “You can write anything,” she told Apple Music in an interview for the Up Next series in 2018. “You can say the truth, and you cannot tell anyone that it’s the truth—you can just write it, and it’ll be yours.” Raised and homeschooled in Los Angeles by actor/musician parents, Eilish (born Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell in 2001) started writing songs when she was around 11, exploring a strain of melancholy, minimal, and slightly surrealistic pop influenced as much by Lana Del Rey as the radical honesty of rappers like Tyler, The Creator and Earl Sweatshirt. Writing and recording with her brother—and producer—FINNEAS at their parents’ house, Eilish released dont smile at me in 2017, graduating directly from her bedroom to the spotlight. Hardly two years later, she’d released the Grammys-slaying WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?, an experimental-pop opus exploring mental health and totally upending notions of what constitutes pop music in 2020. (She also won the inaugural Apple Music Award for Global Artist of the Year and performed an Apple Music Live session at London’s O2 Arena in 2022.) Despite the attention, Eilish has done her best to stake out a space of freedom and fluidity, dodging easy definition. Her 2021 album Happier Than Ever saw her chart a further path of self-discovery, after which 2023’s Academy Award-winning ballad “What Was I Made For?” felt downright existential and the 2024 single “LUNCH” openly radiated queer desire. For an artist who has always seemed like she’s whispering closely guarded secrets into our ears, Eilish’s songwriting only seems to be growing more personal. “This is the most ‘me’ thing I’ve ever made,” she told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe about 2024’s HIT ME HARD AND SOFT. “And purely me—not a character.” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2018 47 lovely (Billie Eilish & Khalid) -3- MILLIONAIRE 2018 21 when the party's over -2*- MILLIONAIRE 2018 72 ocean eyes -1- MILLIONAIRE 2018 47 come out and play -NAS- 2019 78 idontwannabeyouanymore -AT- 2019 79 bellyache -2- 2019 06 bury a friend -3*- MILLIONAIRE 2019 13 wish you were gay -IG- 2019 02 bad guy -4*- MILLIONAIRE 2019 60 you should see me in a crown -1*- 2019 77 all the good girls go to hell -5*- 2019 03 everything i wanted -NAS- MILLIONAIRE 2020 01 No Time To Die -OST- MILLIONAIRE 2020 07 my future -1- 2020 02 Therefore I Am -2- 2021 35 Lo Vas A Olvidar (Billie Eilish & ROSALÍA) -OST- 2021 05 Your Power -3- 2021 14 Lost Cause -4- 2021 23 NDA -5- 2021 04 Happier Than Ever -6- MILLIONAIRE 2021 28 Getting Older -AT- 2021 32 Oxytocin -AT- 2022 23 TV -1/2- 2022 33 The 30th -1/2- 2023 69 hotline -PS- 2023 01 What Was I Made For? -OST- MILLIONAIRE 2024 02 LUNCH -1- 2024 07 CHIHIRO -AT- 2024 02 BIRDS OF A FEATHER -2- MILLIONAIRE 2024 07 WILDFLOWER -3- 2024 01 Guess (Charli xcx & Billie Eilish) 2024 96 L'AMOUR DE MA VIE -AT- 3 x #1 | 10 x Top 5 | 14 x Top 10 | 16 x Top 20 | 23 x Top 40 | 32 x Top 100 Social Media Billie Eilish

Even the singer’s sunniest tracks (“Can’t Feel My Face”, “Starboy”) feel anchored by darkness—the sense that pleasure is pain and beauty decays and you can’t have the night without the morning after. The brainchild of Toronto singer Abel Tesfaye, the project took off in 2011 with a string of mixtapes (later collected as 2012’s Trilogy) that forged cavernous, falsetto-driven R&B with narratives drenched in drugs, sex and other regrettable decisions—a sound both sensuous and detached, featherlight and dead heavy. One of the earliest musicians to find his footing on the internet, Tesfaye originally offered his music through YouTube and free downloads, a move that felt radical then but is common now. Ethiopian by heritage (his parents immigrated to Canada in the late ’80s, just before he was born), Tesfaye—out from behind the mask of making art online—has since come to represent the changing face of Toronto, rooting himself not just in an international musical community but in a specific diasporic experience. Tesfaye’s music has become a symbol of hedonism pushed to bleak excess, with a series of albums—including 2015’s Grammy-winning Beauty Behind the Madness, 2016’s multiplatinum Starboy and 2020’s dense and atmospheric After Hours—whose narrators can’t seem to say no even if they hate themselves for it later. And though his music has gotten a little brighter over time, the prevailing mood remains heavy, even unsettling—the ride you want more of even when you’ve had too much. Speaking to Apple Music about the persona behind his songs, Tesfaye said, “I’m a chill person. That guy is who I am, but it is who I am to myself and in my writing. Sometimes you take him and then you create more, and then it becomes this beast. You add more to him, and then it’s uncontrollable—its own character. It’s like Scarface, the villain: It’s horrible, but you can’t stop looking at it.” Though he didn’t release a new album in 2021, he was a constant part of the cultural conversation, releasing a slew of singles, performing at the Super Bowl and on Saturday Night Live (think: “Ladies and gentlemen, The Weeknd”) and winning the Apple Music Award for Artist of the Year. Though he didn’t release a new album in 2021, he was a constant part of the cultural conversation, dropping a slew of singles, performing at the Super Bowl and on Saturday Night Live (think: “Ladies and gentlemen, The Weeknd”), and winning the Apple Music Award for Artist of the Year. After a banner 2021, he unleashed 2022’s Dawn FM, a cross-decade synth-pop exhibition for the ages. Featuring flourishes of new wave (“Gasoline”), astral rock (“Here We Go... Again”), and other genres in between, the album tightropes the retro and the modern—a singular vision curated by a singular artist. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History The Weeknd 2012 37 Crew Love (Drake feat.
