This Is How The Hottest 100 Influenced This Week's ARIA Charts

It's been a very big week.

Billie Eilish has had a big week - in the space of the last seven days, the 18-year-old US artist became the first ever solo female act to top the Hottest 100, won five Grammys and has now had her album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? return to #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart. 

The album, which dropped in March last year, has returned to the top spot climbing up from #5 last week following the result of the Hottest 100 countdown where she had five tracks featured, including Bad Guy at #1. 

Additionally, Eilish's 2017 EP, Don't Smile At Me, has also moved up to #18 from #25. 

Her run continues on the ARIA Singles Chart, with Bad Guy moving up to #3 from #21 last week, Everything I Wanted hit #11 (having placed #16 in the Hottest 100), When The Party's Over at #56, Lovely at #77, Bury A Friend at #82 (#35 on the Hottest 100) and Ocean Eyes at #97. 


The countdown's influence on both the Singles and Albums Charts goes much further than just Eilish however with a number of artists moving up in the week following.
