Variety reports that Billie Eilish's "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" will likely premiere with a seven-day tally of 250,000 to 275,000 equivalent album units, putting it behind only Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next" on a list of the biggest album debuts of 2019.
The highest streamed Eilish song over those first five days was a previously unreleased one, "Bad Guy," which has become a fan favorite, racking up 19 million streams in that initial time frame.
'WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?' was written, produced and recorded entirely by 17-year-old Billie Eilish and brother Finneas in their childhood home of Highland Park, Los Angeles.
Recorded in Finneas' bedroom opposite Billie's, the pair spent most of 2018 writing songs on the road, then spending many days and nights when off the road, at home, recording the album. The first to be revealed since the album announcement is "bury a friend," a driving tour-de-force of a song, trailblazing its way into the world and sounding quite unlike anything else that's out right now. Reaffirming Billie Eilish's place, always ahead of the curve, never compromising her sound or vision.
