Billie Eilish continues to redefine success, becoming the first artist to win Apple Music’s Artist of the Year twice, with her latest recognition for 2024. This accolade underscores an extraordinary year for the 22-year-old star.

Eilish’s third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, topped charts in 138 countries and earned seven GRAMMY nominations, including Album of the Year. Meanwhile, her hit single What Was I Made For? from the Barbie soundtrack secured her second Academy Award and two GRAMMYs.
