Eilish’s hit reached Number Two in the official UK singles chart and in the same position in Billboard’s Hot 100 in the US.
It was recently named as the 12th best song of 2024 by NME. Her album ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft’, was also named in NME’s list of the Best Albums Of 2024, coming in at Number Nine.
The hit is also nominated for three Grammy awards including Song Of The Year, Record Of The Year and best Pop Solo Performance.
Carpenter’s single meanwhile, topped the UK singles chart and has also been nominated for Record Of The Year and Best Pop Solo Performance at the Grammys, while ‘Bed Chem’ was named as one of NME’s 50 best songs of 2024.
Speaking about her hit, Carpenter recently said that upon its release, she felt she had “literally no idea” if the public would like it.
“I remember deciding to put this song out in the beginning of summer and thinking espresso, coffee is kind of more of a fall beverage,” she said. “I really didn’t know if it would connect, but the sentiment and the sound of the song and the confidence that it kind of just carries along with it was something that I really believed in.”
She continued: “So I had literally no idea that anyone would like it, but I liked it, and that was kind of all that mattered to me in that moment, and something I try to remember over and over again.”
Eilish meanwhile, just wrapped up the US leg of her ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft’ tour with five shows at Inglewood’s Kia Forum.
During one of the hometown gigs, she also brought out Charli XCX as a special guest to perform their ‘Guess’ remix. The track is nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the Grammys 2025. The two artists are also competing for Album Of The Year, Record Of The Year, Best Pop Solo Performance and more.
Eilish also recently played snippets of two new songs during a recent interview and revealed that she has been “making music” again.
Elsewhere, she also warned fans of the dangers of extreme dieting.
