Billie Eilish soars to the top of pop airplay with 'Birds of a Feather'

As a gamer who has lived through multiple musical eras and witnessed countless chart-toppers, I can confidently say that Billie Eilish’s reign is nothing short of extraordinary. Her latest hit, “Birds of a Feather,” is yet another testament to her unmatched talent and the enduring power of her music.

Billie Eilish’s latest song, “Birds of a Feather,” has soared to the number one spot on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart, marking her third time at the top of this prestigious list. The track from her album “Hit Me Hard and Soft” continues to thrive, experiencing an 8% increase in plays from September 13-19. The Pop Airplay chart, which measures airtime on over 150 popular top 40 radio stations across the country monitored by Mediabase, underscores the lasting impact of Eilish’s music within the industry.

For two weeks straight in April 2021, Eilish’s song “Therefore I Am” took the lead, while her hit “Bad Guy” did the same for two weeks back in August 2019. Following the ascent of “Lunch” to No. 10 on the Pop Airplay chart in August, “Birds of a Feather” maintains the momentum.

Based on data from the 12th of September, Billie Eilish’s latest album, “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” has achieved remarkable success since its release on May 17 in the U.S., selling 1.5 million equivalent album units. In a late-night interview with Jimmy Kimmel on September 3, Eilish expressed her passion for creating albums that are harmonious and well-thought-out, saying, “I’ve always been an album enthusiast.” What she adores most is when a project feels like its own entity and is cohesive and meticulously planned.

Apart from leading the Pop Airplay chart, the song “Birds of a Feather” has climbed to position 5 on the entire Billboard Hot 100 and amassed 396 million official on-demand streams in the US. Additionally, it has garnered approximately 395 million radio listeners and 58,000 downloads. The song’s global popularity is undeniable, having held the top spot for three consecutive weeks on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts in August.

This year, Billie Eilish’s popular summer hit song placed at number 9 on the list of “Songs of the Summer,” making it her second top 10 placement for a seasonal chart since “Bad Guy” reached the number 2 spot back in 2019. (Paraphrased)

Preparing for her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour which kicks off on September 29 in Quebec City, Billie Eilish’s latest chart-topping single serves as the opening act, promising an extraordinary series of concerts. On September 24, Billboard.com will update all charts scheduled for September 28, reinforcing her dominance in pop music.
