Billie Eilish's 'Happier Than Ever' Debuts at No. 1

After just releasing a little over a week ago, Billie Eilish‘s sophomore album Happier Than Ever has now debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The second number one album from the artist comes along with the second-highest vinyl sales week since 1991, according to The New York Times.

Thus far, the album has sold 230,000 copies, which includes 153,000 traditional sales reports Billboard. The traditional sales figure includes 129,000 physical copies with 73,000 vinyl sales, 46,000 CD sales and a little under 10,000 cassette sales. The remaining 24,000 units come from digital downloads. The new album occupies the fifth-largest week of 2021 due to album units sold.

Yesterday, Eilish shared a series of behind-the-scenes set images from her recent music video for “Happier Than Ever.” In the video, the pop star survives a flood while singing about an ex-lover in the pouring rain. Needless to say, the set images had a lot of water, showcasing just how large the set actually was.
