With the new album on the way, we thought to look back at Billie s most popular songs with the Irish public to see what her new music will have to live up to.
Any new song will have a challenge following in the footsteps of Billie Eilish s breakthrough single Bad Guy. Bad Guy is Billie s most-streamed single in Ireland, and is in fact the country s eighth most-streamed song ever. It peaked at Number 2 on the Official Irish Singles Chart, but only because the most-streamed song in Irish Chart history Someone You Loved was Number 1. In total, Bad Guy has racked up 25.9 million plays, 4.6 million of which were video streams.

For 16 years The X Factor crowned Britain s biggest new singing stars, promising them fame and riches beyond their wildest dreams. But for many their moment in the limelight was brief.
Today former contestants are queuing up to hit out against the British music industry for exploiting and treating them like cattle since their overnight rise to fame.
Rebecca Ferguson has called for an urgent parliamentary inquiry to help protect young and emerging artists and an independent tribunal to hold those responsible for poor treatment within the industry to account.
Her fellow contestant Cher Lloyd, 27, and double act Jedward, both 29, who appeared on the show the previous year, have now also hit out at the industry and claimed they were also poorly treated.
