We have a feeling Billie Eilishfans are about to be very happy. Billie's highly anticipated-and aptly named-second studio album, Happier Than Ever, debuts today. In honor of the release, Spotify has created our first-ever artist hub and three new enhanced album experiences.
In the last six years, Billie's listenership has grown exponentially. She rose to become the 12th-most-streamed artist in the world, with fans playing her songs a whopping 15.5 billion+ times. This new hub is the latest milestone in Spotify's ongoing support of the artist's meteoric rise. It builds on past memorable moments, including sweeping platform takeovers and our 2019 celebration of the growing artist's first album, WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?, where we worked with Billie to map out a unique interactive immersive experience.
Now, we're upping the ante with Happier Than Ever: The Destination, on-platform releases, a global marketing campaign, and an exclusive Billie Eilish experience in Los Angeles.
Billie's new hub, Happier Than Ever: The Destination, gives fans a wide range of exclusive content custom-created by the artist herself. It features four shelves chock full of Billie's catalogue, her personally curated playlist of favorite tracks, surprise Easter eggs, and much more. The custom destination will also be featured on Browse and can only be accessed on Spotify.
The Destination also contains three new enhanced album experiences: 'Fan Mode,' 'Billie Mode,' and 'Lyric Mode.' Each features new and exclusive custom Billie Eilish content that will bring Billie fans further into her world, including Canvas, Storylines, and Playlist Clips. Here's what listeners can expect from each album:
In addition to the on-platform experiences, fans in LA will be able to attend an in-person event that captures the spirit of Billie's highly anticipated album. The immersive Happier Than Ever destination brings the bespoke enhanced album experiences to life inside a glamorous 1950s-inspired Los Angeles estate, with Billie herself in attendance.
