Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish's career took flight with the debut of her studio album, "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" in 2019, which climbed to the top of the US Billboard 200 and UK Albums Chart. Following this success, her single "Bad Guy" earned the top spot on the US Billboard Hot 100 and received a Diamond certification by the RIAA. Eilish's musical prowess extended beyond her own albums, as she performed and wrote the theme song "No Time to Die" for the James Bond film of the same name. This track also topped the UK Singles Chart and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2022.

With each new album, Eilish continued to captivate audiences and critics alike. Her second studio album, "Happier Than Ever" (2021), topped charts in multiple countries, and her third, "Hit Me Hard and Soft" (2024), received critical acclaim and featured US top-five singles "Lunch" and "Birds of a Feather". Eilish's contribution to the film "Barbie" (2023), "What Was I Made For?", became her second number-one single in the UK and earned her a second Academy Award. In 2026, "Wilflower" won Song of the Year at the Grammys. Her success is further highlighted by her numerous awards, including two Academy Awards, ten Grammy Awards, and four Brit Awards, among others.

Eilish has used her platform to advocate for issues close to her heart, such as climate change awareness, women's reproductive rights, and gender equality. Such activism, coupled with her musical talent, led to her recognition as one of the BBC 100 Women in December 2022. Eilish's influence extends beyond music, as she was also named to Time magazine's inaugural Time 100 Next list in 2019 and the Time 100 in 2021.
