Billie Eilish's Debut Reaches A Major Milestone, Marking A First For Her
By the time When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? rolled around, Billie Eilish was already a star in the music world. That album, her first full-length, turned her into a global powerhouse and a true hitmaker. The project has barely waned in popularity in the years since its release, and people are still consuming the set, which produced hits like "You Should See Me in a Crown,' "Bury a Friend,' and of course, the worldwide sensation "Bad Guy."
Eilish remains a force to be reckoned with on the charts in the United Kingdom, and this week is a notable one as her entire catalog climbs and her debut project reaches a major milestone.
As of this frame, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? has spent 250 weeks on the Official Albums chart. That tally ranks the most consumed projects in the U.K., blending both pure purchases and streaming activity. This set marks the first for Eilish to make it to that notable landmark number.
When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? has spent four more weeks on the Official Albums chart than both Happier Than Ever and Hit Me Hard and Soft – her other two full-lengths – combined. It lived at No. 1 for three frames, while both titles that followed only managed one stay on the throne.
When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? has spent even more time on the Official Albums Streaming chart than the main all-consumption list. The introductory title has now reached 260 weeks — or five full years — on the list of the most played releases on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others.
Though When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? still appears on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums rankings this frame, it has yet to crack 200 weeks on either of those rankings.
Both of Eilish's other full-lengths are also present on the Official Albums chart this time around. Happier Than Ever is up to 138 stays. Hit Me Hard and Soft, her most recent full-length, only needs one more turn on the tally before it reaches its first full year. The set will almost certainly make it to that number next time around, as it's still living inside the top 10.
Amazingly, Eilish's first EP Don't Smile at Me is just shy of that 250-week milestone. The several-song-long effort has racked up 246 stays somewhere on the 100-spot roster. It will likely become her next project to hit that landmark number sometime soon, although it does not take up space on the tally at the moment.

On This Day: Iconic ‘60s Rock Band Announced Breakup and Left Fans Devastated
On This Day: Iconic '60s Rock Band Announced Breakup and Left Fans Devastated originally appeared on Parade. 60s rock fans were left devastated on this day in 1968 when Cream guitarist Eric Clapton announced he'd be leaving the band at the end of Cream's upcoming tour. It would be just a few months before Clapton, Ginger Baker, and Jack Bruce went their separate ways after Clapton, then 23, stated the band suffered from a 'loss of direction.' The breakup announcement came on the heels of the release of Wheels of Fire, the band's third Clapton later revealed he'd been ruminating on leaving the band for over a year, fans were given time to make peace with the end of the beloved rock trio, as Cream embarked on a farewell tour from October through November, culminating in their final performance on November 26 at London's Royal Albert Hall. Clapton later told Uncut Magazine in a 2012 interview, 'The workload was pretty severe. We were playing six nights a week and I lost weight until I was about nine stone and I looked like death. I was in bad shape. It wasn't so much self-abuse as self-neglect.'The singer continued, 'I was calling home to Robert Stigwood, our manager, and saying, Get me out of here – these guys are crazy. I don't know what's going on and I've had enough.' He'd always say to give it one more week.' Following the demise of Cream, Clapton went on to form the supergroup Blind Faith with Ginger Baker, Steve Winwood, and Ric Grech. He also founded Derek and the Dominos and Delaney & Bonnie before launching a successful solo career, which earned him 17 Grammy Awards. Largely thought of as the music world's first supergroup, the breakup of Cream left fans crushed. On videos of the band's farewell tour, comments reveal a shared love for the iconic '60s band. 'Cream were the band that started it all! Gawd I loved that band! The perfect storm of three musicians!' wrote one fan, while another added, 'I was 13 when this song arrived. It's 2023. I'm still saying …..are you freakin kidding me . Damn this is perfection . A masterpiece.' 'THESE DAYS WILL NEVER BE REPEATED ! JAW DROPPING !' shared another fan reminiscing in the comment section. Clapton, Baker and Bruce did reunite in 2005 for a series of concerts, including one at London's Royal Albert Hall and three at New York's Madison Square Garden. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 On This Day: Iconic '60s Rock Band Announced Breakup and Left Fans Devastated first appeared on Parade on Jul 10, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 10, 2025, where it first appeared.

Lena Dunham's ‘Too Much': A Guide to All Those Cameos — and Each Wink to Her Own Celebrity Lore
Editor's Note: This story contains spoilers for 'Too Much,' now streaming Lena Dunham is back in the spotlight, and eight years after the conclusion of 'Girls,' we missed her. We've all known Dunham to be a voice of a generation, and she's now packing all her years of celebrity into her latest magnum opus: 'Too Much.' More from IndieWire John Goodman Doesn't Speak to Roseanne Anymore: 'I'd Rather Doubt If She Wants to Talk to Me' 'Dexter' Has 'Probably Done a Number on Me,' Says Michael C. Hall: 'I'm Not Crazy, I Know I'm Not Him' Sure, 'Too Much' is a critically acclaimed return to smart rom-coms with female audiences in mind. Did we expect anything less from Dunham? No. What is different, though, is the inclusion of nods to her own (at times, infamous) viral moments. This is Dunham laying bare for audiences once more — and only her true fans, raised being way too online, would get all the references to her lore. Dunham has promoted 'Too Much' as a semi-autobiographical series. 'Hacks' breakout star Megan Stalter plays the Dunham-esque Jessica, who relocates from New York to London to start fresh after a breakup. Jessica soon meets musician Felix (Will Sharpe), who challenges her to reevaluate her 30-something crisis. Dunham co-created the series with her real-life husband, Luis Felber, who also serves as an executive producer and provides original music. Despite unknowingly having crossed paths with Felber at the SXSW premiere of 'Girls,' Dunham didn't know Felber until moving to London (she has since stated that she will not return to live in NYC). Dunham is the creator, writer, and executive producer who directs eight out of 10 episodes. It's the packed punches of 'oh my gosh, is that really supposed to be [redacted] playing [redacted]?!' that make 'Too Much' not only must-see TV, but required viewing for anyone who witnessed Dunham endure the firestorm of media scrutiny amid her 'Girls' fame. ('I always joke that I need a T-shirt that says, 'I survived New York media in 2012 and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.' And all I got was this lousy PTSD,' Dunham recently said.) Even Dunham's own late dog gets a nod via Jessica's onscreen pooch, Astrid. Dunham detailed her cameo selection during the 2025 Tribeca Festival, per THR. 'I always try to write with somebody in mind. It just helps me when I'm writing, and usually it's somebody either that I admire or somebody that I already have a really great collaborative relationship with, and then you just kind of write them. And my goal is always: I love this person, so what is going to get them to come do a role, a couple episodes in a half-hour TV show like this?' she said. 'It isn't like, you know, Christopher Nolan is calling to invite you to do 'The Odyssey.' This is very specific. And so my goal is [to] always write them a different kind of part than you've seen them do before, or write them something that's so in their wheelhouse that they're like, 'It's just going to be so fun to come in and crush it.' But no in between; no vanilla. I'd rather go bold and send them something where they're like, 'Why the fuck did you send me that?' than make them feel like they're getting handed the same part that they get to do every time. I'm still shocked that all these schedules worked and all these people came together because everyone on the show is who I wrote the role for.' This is Dunham's mic drop moment, the final say on the record of her highly publicized relationships, by way of Netflix. Now, excuse us as we build our own Greg Kornacki board for the Dunham cinematic universe below. Rita Wilson, who played Marnie's (Allison Williams) unhinged mother on 'Girls,' is now Jessica's (Stalter) and Nora's (Dunham) narcissistic mom Lois. Who else could it be? This one is also self-explanatory: Rannells is a fellow 'Girls' alum, and after first playing Hannah's (Dunham) ex-turned-gay-bestie Elijah, he's now cast as Jessica's (Stalter) brother-in-law and Nora's (Dunham) husband Jameson, who leaves her to explore his pansexuality. The 'Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' and 'The Penguin' alum plays, with no doubt in our minds, a stand-in for Dunham's long-term ex, musician and music producer Jack Antonoff — though Dunham insists Michael Zegen's character is an 'amalgamation' of all her exes. Antonoff and Dunham dated for five years during her 'Girls' fame (the series ran from 2012 to 2017). Taylor Swift and Lorde collaborator Antonoff parted ways with Dunham in 2018. 'Too Much' does not shy away from showcasing the dissolution of a partnership; the series includes a slew of claims against both the characters, with Stalter's Jessica having to emotionally escape the twisted relationship with Zegen's Zev. There is a Swift needle drop, with 'Bigger Than the Whole Sky,' which makes sense as Swift and Dunham have remained good friends. 'Too Much' the series ends with Jessica marrying supposed bad boy and Brit indie rocker Felix, played by 'The White Lotus' Season 2 breakout Will Sharpe. The parallels to Dunham's own relationship with musician Luis Felber (who records under the moniker Attawalpa, among ties to other bands) are obvious: Dunham moved to London in early 2021, where she quickly met and fell in love with Felber before marrying him later that year. Dunham's IRL close friend Ratajkowski plays Zegen's friend-turned-fiancée, Wendy Jones, whom he leaves Jessica for. So, is Ratajkowski's role based on Antonoff's real-life fiancée, actress Margaret Qualley? Or, for those who couldn't help but follow the Antonoff-Swift squad lore, is she a combo of Qualley and Lorde? OK, so not only did Andrew Scott star in Dunham's 'Catherine Called Birdy,' but he apparently also helped cast Stalter in 'Too Much.' Dunham told Glamour that Scott first introduced her to Stalter's comedy videos. 'He's always ahead of the crowd, and he had fanned out and had a coffee with her,' Dunham said. '[He] basically said, 'You two have to meet, you have something to make together.' I trust him implicitly, and went home and watched everything she'd ever made — and of course 'Hacks,' which is divine in its own right.' Now, who is Scott's pompous, divorced, scarf-clad director character supposed to be? We have our theories (emphasis on the sartorial choice of scarves!) but none of them are British…so dare we put them here? Regardless, former Hot Priest Scott's cameo, including him crying into Stalter's stocking-less thigh, is divine. Harrington, like Dunham, was also a staple of HBO at the time of 'Girls,' so they probably crossed paths at press events over the years. However, it is Harrington's uncanny resemblance to Dunham's 'Girls' co-star Christopher Abbott that has audiences' jaws on the floor when Harrington plays Stalter's deceased dad in a flashback. Abbott famously left 'Girls' due to creative differences with Dunham; he returned in 2016 to briefly reprise his role of Charlie, but has said he would not return to 'Girls' if the show were rebooted. Dunham singled out 'Mulholland Drive' icon Watts as one of her ideal collaborators during the 2025 Tribeca Festival, according to THR. It most likely helped that Watts recently co-starred with Sharpe in 'Emmanuelle.' Dunham said that she wanted Watts to return to the comedic roles that she took on early in her career. 'I thought, let me write her something that's like, not an elegant lady role, that's like an elegant lady to the left role, like an elegant lady who's railing cocaine role,' Dunham said. 'I want to speak to the thing I think you don't get to do, which is be the funniest fucking person in the world, because you also happen to look like a beautiful British aristocrat, and so people don't always know to ask that of you.' Now, Watts plays Ann, Jessica's boss' (Richard E. Grant) wife, who becomes a mentor to her over the course of a crazy coke-fueled dinner party. No one can forget that the beloved Grant played Jessa's (Jemima Kirke) drug-addled boyfriend in rehab on 'Girls.' This time, Grant stars as Jessica's (Stalter) boss Jonno, who is married to Ann (Watts). Dunham co-starred alongside Fry for 'Treasure.' Now, he plays Felix's father, Simon, in 'Too Much' (Fry was Dunham's dad in the 2024 father-daughter road trip movie 'Treasure,' co-starring Dunham). While Bravo plays Jessica's (Stalter) fashionable fellow American coworker Kim, this isn't Bravo's first time working with Dunham. Bravo acted in 'Camping,' which Dunham co-created; Bravo also directs Episode 8 of 'Too Much,' 'One Wedding and a Sex Pest.' Dunham has frequently called 'Cheers' alum Perlman her 'comic idol,' while Perlman cited Dunham as one of the most powerful women in Hollywood in 2014. Dunham and Perlman's recent 'Barbie' co-star America Ferrera also made a viral speech against then-Presidential nominee Donald Trump together in 2016. Now, Perlman is playing Dunham and Stalter's grandmother Dottie onscreen. When casting the most beautiful, most likable, and therefore most threatening ex for your latest love interest, 'Blue Is the Warmest Color' and 'Passages' star Exarchopoulos would be the ideal actress every time. And because it's Dunham, of course, she landed the star. Exarchopoulos plays Polly, the too-good-to-be-hated former lover and now best friend of Felix (Will Sharpe). Despite Dunham not collaborating with Exarchopoulos before, the actress is a standout supporting character. All episodes of 'Too Much' are now streaming on Netflix.
