Billie Eilish's Oscar-winning track once more ranks on the Top 40 charts.
At just 23, Billie Eilish boasts a robust discography of hit singles, captivating audiences with her new releases and rekindling love for her iconic hits. This week, "What Was I Made For?" makes a comeback on multiple UK charts. The track populates the Official Singles Downloads chart at No. 34, barely missing out on the same position on the Official Single Sales ranking.
Initially, "What Was I Made For?" saw remarkable sales during its debut. While it never crowned both charts, it managed to peak at No. 1 on the Official Singles Sales ranking and reached No. 4 on the Official Singles Downloads chart. Despite missing the top spot on the latter, the track has consistently spent 44 weeks on the downloads chart, contrasting with its 40-week presence on the singles sales chart.
This powerful anthem has also left a lasting impression on awards shows, earning Grammys and an Oscar for Billie Eilish. "What Was I Made For?" was nominated for five Grammys in 2024, bagging the awards for Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media. While it fell short in other categories, it served as a stepping stone to another significant Grammy win a few years later.
Armed with six UK singles this week, only "What Was I Made For?" and "Chihiro" from Hit Me Hard and Soft makes a reappearance, this time on the Official Streaming chart at No. 75. Meanwhile, Eilish's tracks "Wildflower" and "Guess" with Charli XCX climb on their respective charts, while "The Greatest" from Hit Me Hard and Soft also sets a new peak on the Official Singles chart at No. 69.
