Will HIT ME HARD AND SOFT become the biggest gen z female era of the 2020s?

[Blackout2006]

Since May, Billie has taken the world by storm with her last album release, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT. Having garnered over 4 billion streams in only six months with just ten tracks, it is the second-biggest album of 2024. Rather than a few cherry-picked singles making the album a hit, the album in itself is a hit. Almost every song has become popular with the GP (Lunch, Chihiro, Birds of a Feather, Wildflower, L'amour, and Blue). However, the BIG hits of the album are obviously Chihiro, Birds of a Feather, and Wildflower which is only becoming bigger.

However, this album's longevity is stellar, and Billie's tour has only sustained its success in the long run. The album has performed the best amongst any album in streaming history over 150 days since its release. Besides the stats, the album has received roaring acclaim across the music industry and completely squashed stereotypes of Billie being a one-trick pony or only capable of whispering vocals. She has earned seven Grammy nominations, securing her place in all the major award categories.

Billie is about to have 2 songs above all Sabrina songs on Spotify WW despite releasing months earlier. Wildflower is only a few hundred thousand streams below Taste and BOAF is going to pass Espresso in streams soon. Wildflower is at 500M streams and now Top 10 WW despite 0 airplay, no MV, etc. 
 

SnS has some good hits but they don't seem like they'll have the longevity that Billie is seeming to have this era.

How does that even prove anything?

The idea that Sabrina has these massive hits that Billie doesn't have simply isn't true. She just didn't have any pre-release singles to inflate streams beforehand. 
 

SnS is not going to outstream HMHAS at their current daily streams with SnS slowing down and HMHAS remaining stable 

[itshyolee]

I definitely think that title might belong to SNS.

 

HMHAS is a smash though

People are forgetting SOUR...

[Letters From Adi]

Olivia isn't that big right now, but SOUR was massive when it happened.
