Billie Eilish’s single ‘Bad Guy,’ was recently named the biggest global track of 2019 during the Global Awards 2020, on Thursday 5th March. The song was released in March 2019 but took the world by storm and continued to be one of the best selling songs of 2019 according to the IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry). ‘Bad Guy’ beat Lil Nas X’s ‘Old Town Road’ and ‘I Don't Care’ by Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber.
At only 18 years of age, Eilish has already won 10 awards, topped the charts in over 15 countries and is the first woman to get number one in the UK with a James Bond song - ‘No Time To Die’ - the new theme song for the 007 film and another big hit for Billie Eilish.
Now you’re probably thinking what makes Billie Eilish’s songs so interesting and popular? Well it’s her strikingly different voice and style. According to Frances Moore, IFPI Chief Executive, “Billie Eilish has taken the world by storm with her incredible voice and genre-defying sound”.
Eilish also advocates for important issues like mental health within her lyrics that clearly resonate with her fans. The way she dresses not only differentiates her from other female singers but also has a deeper meaning. “If I was a guy and I was wearing these baggy clothes, nobody would bat an eye,” said Billie Eilish speaking about what she wears. Eilish has always wanted to be diverse and while doing so also inspired other women to follow in her footsteps. She believes that wearing baggy clothes means that people have no reason to judge her body as no one knows what's underneath. This movement helped fans and the public with mental health and self esteem issues.
Will Billie Eilish become one of the best female artists in the music industry? I think so.
