Billie Eilish Song Surpassed Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Espresso’ as Spotify’s Most-Streamed Song in 2024


Fans might’ve not been thinking about Sabrina Carpenter‘s “Espresso” every night after all.

According to Variety, the most-streamed song on Spotify in 2024 was “Birds of a Feather” by Billie Eilish. The song floated past Carpenter’s with 1,775,172,881 streams last year. “Espresso,” meanwhile, had a total of 1,774,525,704 listens, 650,000 behind Eilish, 23.

“Espresso” was previously reported as the most-streamed song as part of Spotify Wrapped, with “Birds of a Feather” in the No. 3 spot at the time behind Benson Boone‘s “Beautiful Things.”

Carpenter, 25, dropped “Espresso” in April from her Short n’ Sweet album. The tune won song of the year at the 2024 MTV VMAs and has since inspired coffee-themed collaborations with the singer, including an espresso-flavored ice cream.

“Birds of a Feather,” which Eilish released on her third studio album Hit Me Hard and Soft in May. She and her brother Finneas worked on the song in the back of an SUV while in Brazil. “We’re always finding ourselves working in the most random places,” she said on Jimmy Kimmel Live in September.

“It’s fun because it’s so casual and normal and we were just in the back of this car and it’s Finneas’ laptop,” she continued. Looking back on when she and Finneas, 27, wrote the “Birds of a Feather,” Eilish said it’s “really amazing to see how far the song has come.”

Eilish is up for seven Grammys this year, while Carpenter earned six nominations. Both are up for the record of the year and pop solo performance of the year with their respective top-streamed songs on Spotify, along with album of the year.

Carpenter told The Hollywood Reporter in December that she wasn’t sure if anyone would connect with “Espresso.” “I remember deciding to put this song out in the beginning of summer and thinking espresso, coffee is kind of more of a fall beverage,” she said.

“I really didn’t know if it would connect, but the sentiment and the sound of the song and the confidence that it kind of just carries along with it was something that I really believed in.”

The “Please Please Please” singer continued: “So I had literally no idea that anyone would like it, but I liked it, and that was kind of all that mattered to me in that moment, and something I try to remember over and over again.”



In a surprising turn of events, Billie Eilish’s latest hit song has surpassed Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Espresso’ as Spotify’s most-streamed song of 2024. Eilish’s catchy tune has captured the hearts of fans around the world, propelling it to the top spot on the streaming platform.

Fans of both artists have been engaged in a friendly rivalry, with supporters of Eilish celebrating her latest achievement. The song’s success is a testament to Eilish’s undeniable talent and appeal, solidifying her status as one of the music industry’s biggest stars.

As ‘Espresso’ slips from its reign as Spotify’s most-streamed song, fans of Carpenter are still showing their support for the talented artist. Despite the shift in rankings, both Eilish and Carpenter continue to create music that resonates with listeners and showcases their incredible artistry.

Congratulations to Billie Eilish on this impressive milestone, and here’s to more chart-topping hits in the future!
