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.

(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.

Billie Eilish's When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? surges on four U.K. charts as her Hit Me ... More Hard and Soft Tour hits the country. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 02: Billie Eilish performs onstage during the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards at Arena on February 02, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo byfor The Recording Academy) Billie Eilish is currently in the middle of her Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour, which began in September 2024 and is set to run until almost the end of 2025. The singer started July by playing two shows in Glasgow, Scotland, before heading to London for six nights at The O2 Arena. Later this month, she'll trek to Manchester and headline four dates in that city, before flying to Dublin. From there, she'll travel to Japan and then launch another leg throughout the United States before the year is over. To celebrate Eilish's tour hitting the United Kingdom, fans in the country have been consuming all three of her albums in huge numbers. Interestingly, her debut full-length is the greatest gainer at the moment, even though her current trek focuses on the music presented on her third project, Hit Me Hard and Soft. Billie Eilish's Debut Album Returns in a Big Way When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, the project that introduced Eilish to the world more than half a decade ago, currently appears on four charts in the U.K. The bestselling effort returns to all four as streams and sales of the full-length grew considerably. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? lands at No. 82 on the Official Albums chart, a general consumption tally, and reenters lowest at No. 92 on the Official Albums Sales list. It also appears on both the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Streaming rosters, in positions between those two numbers. Years on the Charts for Billie Eilish's First Album In the past, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? has reached No. 1 on all four charts, but the length of time it has spent on each varies widely. Among the four tallies where Eilish's debut project can be found, it has spent the least amount of time on the Official Albums Sales list, racking up 167 frames. The full-length is now up to 265 stays on the Official Albums Streaming roster — almost exactly 100 weeks longer than on the main sales ranking. All Three of Billie Eilish's Albums Live on the Charts All three of Eilish's albums — When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, Happier Than Ever, and Hit Me Hard and Soft — appear on multiple charts in the U.K. at the moment. While the first of the bunch enjoys the greatest comeback, it also appears on the fewest tallies and ranks the lowest. Meanwhile, Hit Me Hard and Soft nears the top 10 on several.

Armaan Malik: Nothing can change between Amaal and I; we are coming up with a single
Recently, composer Amaal Mallik shocked his fans when he took to Instagram to share that was severing ties with his family, blaming his parents for the rift between him and his younger brother, singer Armaan Malik. However, Armaan tells us that all's well between the brothers. Opening up about their bond for the first time since Amaal's post, Armaan says, 'Our bond is and will always be the same. I know my relationship with my brother and we are pretty tight. I am the kind of person who doesn't care about what people think or social media users think. All I care about is what my brother and I think, and we are pretty sorted. Nothing can ever change between us. Amaal also mentioned on his social media that humare beech mein koi problem nahin hai.' In fact, Armaan, who recently performed at The O2 Arena in London (UK), is also collaborating with his brother on a project. 'I have sung a single that has been composed by Amaal. It's tentatively titled BB. It's a Hindi-Punjabi song that we plan to release in a month or so,' says Armaan, adding that he has worked on close to 40 singles that he plans to release in the coming months. 'For me, music is music. But non-film music is my calling. I have been extremely focused on that for many years," he says. Meanwhile, the singer, who celebrated his first wedding anniversary recently, shares that his wife, beauty influencer Aashna Shroff, has influenced his music. Speaking about his marriage and its influence on his craft for the first time, Armaan says, 'Life has been beautiful with Aashna. I feel the space that you are in - mentally and emotionally – reflects in your work. I think that's why I have been coming up with a lot of love songs (laughs). Aashna is my greatest critics when it comes to work and I like how honest she is with her feedback. That has only helped me get better as an artiste.'
