Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” is the most streamed Spotify song of the year.
As US music label Interscope announced on Thursday (January 2), Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” rose to the top of the streaming provider’s year-end song statistics in the final weeks of 2024. The song had a total of 1.781 billion streams on Spotify as of the reporting date.
The song had previously ranked third in Spotify’s Wrapped annual review. Only Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” and Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” were played more often. The former has been streamed 1.778 billion times on the platform so far. Afterwards, the hit from the album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, which can also be heard in many Instagram and TikTok clips, got another push before the turn of the year.

There was already a huge rush for tickets for Billie Eilish during the pre-sale – the shows are now considered sold out, but it may happen that a few tickets become available shortly beforehand for production reasons. Alternatively, you can take advantage of the official fan sale to secure a ticket. However, third-party sites such as Viagogo and Co., which sometimes have very dubious and overpriced offers, are not recommended.
