With a fifth week at No. 1, she’s the 12th act to spend five weeks atop the tally.
Billie Eilish rises from No. 2 to No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart (dated Aug. 3) to become the top musical act in the U.S. for a fifth total week, as her single “Bad Guy” holds at its No. 2 peak on the Billboard Hot 100. Eilish has been a constant presence in the top five of the chart for the past 17 weeks.
Her return to No. 1 is also aided by her two albums on the Billboard 200: Her latest album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? stands at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 (after logging three weeks on top) and her debut effort Don’t Smile at Me rises 23-20 (after peaking at No. 14 in January).
The Artist 100 measures artist activity across key metrics of music consumption, blending album and track sales, radio airplay, streaming and social media fan interaction to provide a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of artist popularity.
Notably, Eilish is only the 12th act to join the five-week club on the Artist 100. Here’s an updated look at the acts with the most weeks at No. 1 on the Artist 100:
