2019 BILLIE IS STILL THAT GIRL. "bad guy" has officially surpassed 3 billion streams on Spotify, adding another ridiculous milestone to one of the biggest pop hits of the last decade. The track has remained a streaming powerhouse more than 7 years after its release, and clearly people are still very much listening.
The achievement makes Billie the first female artist in Spotify history to have 3 songs surpass 3 billion streams. "bad guy" joins "lovely" with Khalid and "BIRDS OF A FEATHER", giving her a seriously elite collection of streaming giants.
Released in March 2019 as part of her debut album "WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?", "bad guy" became a global phenomenon. It topped the Billboard Hot 100, ended the 19-week run of Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" at number one and went on to win Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the 2020 Grammy Awards.
And the numbers are still moving. "BIRDS OF A FEATHER" currently sits above 4 billion streams, while "lovely" has passed 3.9 billion, with "bad guy" now joining them in the 3-billion club. Three songs, three completely different eras of her career, and one very clear reminder that Billie Eilish's catalogue is NOT slowing down.
