Happier Than Ever by Billie Eilish
Happier Than Ever is an album by Billie Eilish, released in 2021. 6 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 37 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Therefore I Am”, on 11 lists with a best position of #10.
Happier Than Ever, Billie Eilish's second album, arrived via Darkroom and Interscope on July 30, 2021, and it's the sound of a pop phenomenon turning the lights down and taking stock. Written with her brother Finneas O'Connell, who produced it and played every instrument, it grew out of the long, inward stretch of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it trades the skittering trap of When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? for hushed, jazz-tinged electropop that moves at a meditative crawl.
These are torch songs about fame's hangover, drawn straight from her own rise and everything it cost. "My Future", "Therefore I Am" and "Your Power" all went top ten on the Hot 100. Critics raved about the restraint and the writing, it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and the album and its title track picked up seven Grammy nominations between them, Album of the Year among them.
