Billie Eilish’s new album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, has made a powerful debut on several Billboard charts this week, showcasing the global superstar’s commercial prowess. This release, her third studio album, has been warmly received and is making waves across various rankings.
Hit Me Hard and Soft marks a significant milestone for Eilish as it debuts at No. 1 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart. This list ranks the most-consumed full-length albums and EPs in the U.S., combining both streams and sales data. Despite being a dominant figure in the alternative music scene for years, this is Eilish’s first time topping this specific chart.
Previously, Eilish’s highest position on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart was No. 6, achieved by her sophomore album Happier Than Ever in June 2022. Her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, also made it to the top 10, peaking at No. 10 during the same chart week that Happier Than Ever reached its peak.
Eilish’s journey on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart also includes her breakout EP, Don’t Smile at Me, which peaked at No. 22 in early 2023, years after its initial release.
In addition to topping the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, Hit Me Hard and Soft also debuts at No. 1 on both the Vinyl Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts this week. This triple success underscores Eilish’s wide appeal and the strong reception of her latest work.
The Grammy and Oscar-winning artist continues to solidify her place in the music industry with these achievements, and her latest album’s performance is a testament to her enduring popularity and talent.
