Billie Eilish‘s “Birds of a Feather” soared to even higher heights just before the new year, with the Hit Me Hard and Soft track becoming Spotify‘s most-streamed song of 2024.
As announced Thursday (Jan. 2) by Interscope, “Birds of a Feather” moved to the top spot of the streamer’s year-end song statistics in the final weeks of 2024. On Spotify, the song boasted a total of 1.781 billion streams at press time.
The soaring ballad was previously named the third-most-streamed song in Spotify’s 2024 Wrapped, bested only by Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” and Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” at the time. The former’s fizzy summer anthem now has 1.778 billion streams on the platform.
The news comes less than eight months after the nine-time Grammy winner released “Birds of a Feather” along with the rest of her third studio album. The track reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, while the LP debuted at the penultimate spot on the Billboard 200. In September, Eilish dropped a paranormal music video for “Birds of a Feather” directed by Aidan Zamiri, and in October, she performed the song on Saturday Night Live.
Eilish is currently on break from her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour, which wrapped its North American leg Dec. 21 after a five-night stay at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. She’ll pick back up again February for a run of shows in Australia in February and March followed by a European leg kicking off in April.
