Billie Eilish already ranks among the most successful musicians of all time on Billboard's alternative charts, despite the fact that she's only 23. While these rankings have only been around for a relatively short period of time — at least compared to other tallies — with just a handful of albums, the singer-songwriter has produced an impressive number of hit singles, including several that have maintained historic stays on both sales and streaming lists.
As is often the case with Eilish, she appears on several of the rosters dedicated to alternative music in the United States once again. This frame, she manages to bring some of her most successful tunes back to different-but-related rankings as people keep buying and streaming her most popular works.
Eilish returns to both the Alternative Digital Song Sales and Alternative Streaming Songs charts this week. She occupies multiple spaces on each ranking as some tracks rise, while others make their way back to the tallies, which focus on specific forms of consumption, but in each case, only alternative tunes.
She claims a pair of spaces on the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart, doubling her count as one cut reappears. She raises her total to three current smashes on the Alternative Streaming Songs ranking as a different title bounces back onto the busy tally.
Eilish's highest-rising returning favorite comes on the Alternative Digital Song Sales roster. "What Was I Made For?" — her Oscar-winning ballad from the movie Barbie — reenters at No. 8. It has previously led the charge, and if it can manage just one more frame on this list, it will mark a full year on the chart.
"Chihiro," a track from Eilish's most recent album Hit Me Hard and Soft, bounces back onto the Alternative Streaming Songs ranking this frame, but only just barely. The cut, which previously stalled in the runner-up spot, lands in last place – at No. 25 – this week.
"Birds of a Feather," easily the biggest hit from Hit Me Hard and Soft, is still a huge win on both alternative tallies. It returns to the second-place spot on the Alternative Streaming Songs chart and climbs to No. 4 on the Alternative Digital Song Sales list.
"Wildflower," the most recent single promoted from the full-length, grows once more. It ascends from No. 9 to No. 6 on the streaming-only alternative ranking this time around.

Billie Eilish Could Rebound After Leaving The 2025 Grammys Empty-Handed

Following losses at the 2025 Grammys, Billie Eilish's 'Wildflower' could bring her back to the Best ... More Pop Solo Performance category in 2026. LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 10: Billie Eilish performs on stage at The O2 Arena on July 10, 2025 in London, England. (Photo byfor Live Nation) At just 23 years old, Billie Eilish is already one of the most decorated pop singers of all time when it comes to the Grammys. The singer-songwriter has scored nine trophies out of 32 nominations – an amazing sum with just three albums to her credit. While she's not in need of any additional gold, Eilish is always a contender whenever she has any music eligible for music's biggest night. Despite her decorated history, Eilish lost every category she was nominated in at the 2025 ceremony, including some of the biggest fields. She has a chance to return at the upcoming show, and she could collect a milestone tenth award if her latest single can earn a nomination. Two Billie Eilish Singles are Grammy-Eligible Eilish's most recent album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, which she's been promoting since last spring, is ineligible at the upcoming Grammys. The full-length and several tracks featured on it were up for awards at the most recent show, which means they aren't going to be in the running in a few months when nominations are handed down. Two singles featured on Hit Me Hard and Soft should be eligible in 2026, as Eilish pushed both 'Chihiro' and 'Wildflower' as promotional cuts from the project. The current eligibility period began in September 2024, and since then, both were sent out as singles, so the two tracks have a chance at being submitted. Between the pair, 'Wildflower' is the likely contender, as it's the one that performed best at radio in the United States. While 'Chihiro' climbed slightly higher on the Hot 100, 'Wildflower' has already been certified double platinum by the RIAA, while 'Chihiro' has moved one million units and earned a platinum certification. Can Billie Eilish Finally Win Best Pop Solo Performance? Eilish could be headed for her sixth nomination in the Best Pop Solo Performance category with 'Wildflower.' She's previously been nominated for 'Bad Guy,' 'Everything I Wanted,' 'Happier Than Ever,' 'What Was I Made For,' and, last time around, 'Birds of a Feather,' also from Hit Me Hard and Soft. Somewhat shockingly, and despite being one of the biggest names in pop music of the past half-decade or so, she's never won in this field. 'Wildflower' is also a possible contender for both Record and Song of the Year in what may be a sleepy year at the Grammys, though its relatively low peak position doesn't suggest it's a frontrunner for a slot. A Grammys Rebound While Eilish has never professed to be awards-obsessed, she may be looking to rebound after batting zero at the 2025 ceremony. Hit Me Hard and Soft was up for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, while 'Birds of a Feather' was in the running for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance. She didn't claim any new honors at that show, but 'What Was I Made For' did earn Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media at the prior ceremony, so it's not as if it's been long since she last scored big. Eligibility for the 2026 Grammys runs from September 1, 2024, until August 30, 2025. Nominations are expected to be announced later this year.

Deftones Hit No. 1 For The First Time

Deftones debut at No. 1 on two Billboard charts with 'My Mind Is a Mountain,' the lead single from ... More upcoming album Private Music, due August 22.

(Photo by Miikka Skaffari/FilmMagic) In a little less than a month, Deftones will release a new album titled Private Music. The hard rock group's tenth full-length is scheduled to arrive on August 22. The first single from the set, "My Mind Is a Mountain," clearly has fans excited for the next chapter, which is one they've been awaiting for years. The track debuts across more than a dozen Billboard charts in the United States this week, and as it drops, the cut even helps the band reach impressive new peaks, three decades into its tenure. "My Mind Is a Mountain" Tops Two Billboard Rankings "My Mind Is a Mountain" opens at No. 1 on two of the 13 Billboard tallies it appears on this week, as the single launches in first place on both the Hot Hard Rock Songs and Hard Rock Streaming Songs charts. Deftones earns a debut winner on those two rankings, hitting the summit for the first time. The band also cracks the top 10 on the list of the bestselling hard rock cuts throughout the U.S., as well as both the Hot Rock Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts as well. Deftones' History With Billboard's Hard Rock Charts While "My Mind Is a Mountain" is the group's initial top 10 entry on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart, Deftones have previously landed inside the upper tier on the all-consumption Hot Hard Rock Songs list. The band narrowly missed a first-place arrival in 2020 when 'Ohms' launched and peaked at No. 2. The hard rock legends also climbed into the upper reaches of Billboard's ranking of the most consumed hard rock tunes throughout the country with 'Genesis' (No. 3), 'Ceremony' (No. 9), and 'Urantia' (No. 10), all of which reached the list in 2020. More Chart Firsts for Deftones On the Hot Rock Songs and Hot Alternative Songs tallies, the band's new single debuts at Nos. 9 and 10, respectively. The band breaks into the loftiest space for the first time on both charts as this latest era begins. "My Mind Is a Mountain" scores the group its first appearance on the Rock Streaming Songs and Alternative Streaming Songs lists at the same time.

Madonna Charts A Brand New Top 10 Hit In America

Madonna scores a new top 10 with 'Gone, Gone, Gone (Original Demo Version)' before Veronica ... More Electronica arrives, landing at No. 8 on the Dance Digital Song Sales list. American singer Madonna on the set of her 'Ray of Light' video, September 12, 1998. (Photo by) On July 25, Madonna released her new remix album Veronica Electronica. The project features reworkings of many tunes from the pop superstar's beloved full-length Ray of Light, as well as one 'brand new' track. Officially titled 'Gone, Gone, Gone (Original Demo Version),' that cut was recorded around the same time as Ray of Light but never officially released to the public. Many Madonna followers are already familiar with it thanks to leaks that have circulated over the years, but recently, the singer finally dropped the highly-anticipated cut. Now, 'Gone Gone Gone (Original Demo Version)' gives Madonna another top 10 hit in America, just before Veronica Electronica has a chance to chart. Madonna's New Top 10 Smash 'Gone, Gone, Gone (Original Demo Version)' debuts at No. 8 on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart this frame. The track marks Madonna's ninth top 10 on Billboard's list of the bestselling dance cuts in the United States. Despite being one of the most successful dance musicians of all time, the icon has only reached the tally 22 times. The list was, of course, established long after many of Madonna's pioneering dance smashes had already impacted other charts in America, which explains her relatively low count. Madonna's Winning Streak Continues It's only been a year since Madonna last scored a new top 10 on the Dance Digital Song Sales ranking. In July 2024, 'Who's That Girl?' — another decades-old cut — opened at No. 9 before disappearing the following frame. The year prior, Madonna earned her first No. 1 alongside Sam Smith with 'Vulgar,' which debuted in the top spot. That same frame, 'Me Against the Music,' her collaboration with Britney Spears, broke into the top 10 for the first time. Madonna Joins Nine Inch Nails and Blackpink Madonna claims one of three debuts on the 15-spot Dance Digital Song Sales chart this week, and hers is the second-highest arrival. Nine Inch Nails starts 'As Alive As You Need Me to Be' at No. 10. Both legendary acts are beaten by 'Jump,' the latest single from Blackpink. That track debuts at No. 1, giving the K-pop girl group the comeback so many fans had been hoping for.
