ARIA recently crowned Billie Eilish the ARIA Chart International Artist of 2019.
 


The American singer-songwriter had an incredible year on the Australian music charts.

We sent her a very special ARIA #1 Award, and Eilish sent back this message for her Australian fans:

"Thank you ARIA’s and Australia for this award. It’s a huge privilege to be recognized by a country and nation that mean so much to me and my family, and I can’t wait to return and see you all soon. I love you, and my heart is breaking for what is happening over there right now."

When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? spent a total of six weeks at #1 on the Albums Chart during 2019. To date, it has spent 42 weeks in the Top 50, 39 of which have been in the Top Ten. The album has been accredited Platinum and is currently sitting at #3 in the ARIA Albums Chart.
