Billie's adored for many reasons, but what we love most about this artist is her ability to reinvent what it means to be an artist. We've seen Billie break mould in-between releases. Goes to show that the artist is unafraid of critics, which ultimately brought her success in the industry.

Look back and see how much Billie Elish has grown musically and personally hit after hit:

Billie Eilish's album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go became the number one album in the UK, making the artist the first youngest female solo artist to do so. Billie has topped the charts at such a young age, proving yet again that anyone can devour the stage, regardless if you're just starting out in the industry.

Billie Eilish's genre-bending music is laudable

Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas, who writes and produces Billie's tracks, are not afraid to experiment with music. Instead of limiting herself to one, Billie has sung songs that are distinct from one another. Billie might be largely known as a pop star, but the artist has been releasing songs that draw from different elements of electronic and hip-hop music. In fact, she's slammed critics for categorising her under a specific genre.

There's a common notion that songs with singers that belting their voices hold power. However, Billie Elish proves that singing softly can also send shivers down your spine. You'll even hear the intense emotion in Billie's voice especially when she sings songs about some of the most difficult issues to tackle.

Billie Eilish doesn't need anyone to tell her how to dress

Billie Eilish propelled to the number one spot in the Billboard Hot 100 for her single Bad Guy. At this point, many were so used to seeing the singer in loose, baggy clothes for the best reasons. But when Billie came out with photos wearing revealing clothes for Vogue, many were quick to criticise her. People had something to say, but Billie was not hearing any of it. Billie unapologetically embraces herself, and this alone will bring her to the top of the charts like it always does.
