The song, included on her third album “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” took the streaming throne with 1,775,172,881 listens in 2024. She just slipped past Sabrina Carpenter‘s “Espresso” by nearly 650,000 streams, as Carpenter’s summer smash closed the year with 1,774,525,704 listens on the platform. “Birds of a Feather” was yet another hit for Eilish following its release last May.
