At just 17, Billie Eilish has smashed records previously held by Adele and Ed Sheeran. 

The US artist has taken out this weekend's ARIA Charts, topping both the Albums and Singles Charts thanks to her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?

Eilish is the youngest person in ARIA Chart history to top both charts, overtaking Adele who was 21 and a half when she broke the record in June 2011, with her album 21.

Eilish has also claimed six tracks in the top 10, beating Sheeran's March 2017 record of five tracks, with Bad Guy at #1, Bury A Friend at #3, Wish You Were Gay at #5, When The Party's Over at #7, All The Good Girls Go To Hell at #8 and Xanny at #10.


Additionally, Eilish currently holds 12 of the top 40 spots on the Singles Chart, making up a whopping 30% of the possible spots.

The success of When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? isn't limited to just the Aussie charts though, with the album topping the US Billboard 200 chart, which according to Complex makes Eilish is the first artist born in the 2000s with a #1 album on the chart. 

In the UK, BBC has reported that Eilish has broken Joss Stone's 2004 record of youngest-ever female solo act to claim #1 on debut. 

Eilish will be in Aus at the end of this month for appearances at Groovin The Moo and for her own headline tour. Check out theGuide for all the info on dates, locations and tickets.
