HISTORIC VICTORY: Billie Eilish Dominates iTunes Following Her Oscar Win

Billie Eilish makes Oscars history with Best Original Song win as singer  breaks 86-year record - Irish Mirror Online

Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas received their second career awards last night at the 2024 Academy Awards. The two won Best Original Song for their track “What Was I Made For?” from the film Barbie. Following their stunning moment, the celebrity vocalist leads iTunes, as Americans continue to fall in love with the mournful song.

“What Was I Made For?” is presently ranked first on iTunes’ list of the best-selling songs in the United States—on that platform, at least. The song rockets to the top of the charts after debuting outside the top 20 prior to the biggest night in film.

Eilish really holds two slots in the top ten on iTunes in the United States. Another version of “What Was I Made For?” is now at No. 7.

Eilish covers even more slots on iTunes’ list of the best-selling songs in America. Outside of the top 100, the Oscar and Grammy winner receives yet another version of “What Was I Made For?” Her previous Academy Award-winning single, “No Time to Die,” as well as her breakout hit, “Bad Guy,” sold sufficiently enough to make the list, albeit their sales figures are unlikely to be significant.

“What Was I Made For?” is Eilish’s second Oscar, and Finneas is recognised as a composer and producer with his sister, who also sings the melancholy song. The twins received the Academy Award for Best Original Song several years ago for their song “No Time to Die,” which appeared in the James Bond film of the same name.

Eilish, 22, is the youngest two-time Oscar winner. Finneas is now the second-youngest two-time champion, at 26.

“What Was I Made For?” will almost certainly climb the Billboard rankings next week. The tune, one of the biggest hits from the Barbie movie, is expected to be eaten in large numbers by Americans, who will buy and stream it. The song is currently ranked No. 8 in Digital Song Sales and No. 30 on the Hot 100. Those figures could improve in a week or so, when the corporation updates its tallies again.
