Congratulations to Billie Eilish who has been announced as Apple Music's Artist of the Year.
Billie Eilish has made history!
The singer has been announced as Apple Music's Artist of the Year due to her 'extraordinary impact throughout 2024'.
Not only is she the Artist of the Year, but she also became the first person to earn Apple Music Artist of the Year honours twice.
The first time she won was in 2019.
Apple Music made the announcement on its website, acknowledging some of Billie's phenomenal achievements this year, including winning Grammys and collaborating with Charli xcx for 'Guess'.
The artist's recent album, 'Hit Me Hard And Soft,' reached No. 1 on Apple Music’s all-genre albums chart in 138 countries.
The album also earned her seven Grammy nominations. The nominations included Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year. She won two Grammy Awards for 'What Was I Made For?' from the 'Barbie' movie soundtrack.
“From the moment we first heard ‘Ocean Eyes’ nearly a decade ago, we’ve been fans and champions of Billie’s work,” said Rachel Newman, Apple Music’s senior director of Content and Editorial praised Billie for having a gift that enables her to connect with so many people.
“It’s always special when a young artist can connect with so many people so quickly. But what’s been truly remarkable about watching her evolve over the course of this last year isn’t just that her voice and artistry have continued to resonate so widely. It’s that she’s blossomed as bravely and honestly as she has — on her own terms, in her own way,” Rachel said in a statement posted on Apple Music's website.
