Billie Eilish’s 10 Most Viewed Music Videos, Ranked According To Youtube

It seems there’s nothing Billie Eilish can’t do without it receiving millions of views (at least). From her Instagram Stories to Tiktoks, the 19-year old breakout artist has taken the world by storm ever since her debut at 14 years old. Her talent lies not only in her angelic voice but also as a visionary, video artist, and one of the few people of celebrity status that can unproblematically stand up for human rights and feminism. Her sincerity and talent resulted in a wildfire that is a continuously growing and diverse fanbase.

Just observing the sheer amount of views she has on her releases can induce several double-takes, though not to say that she as an artist doesn’t deserve the widespread credit and overwhelmingly positive reception. It’s sure to say that Billie Eilish is contagious, the variety in her sound appealing to all different types of music lovers. Thanks to her many fantastic official music videos that range from cinematic to aesthetic, Billie is consistently going viral and being featured somewhere on the trending page.

10 Therefore I Am – 125 million views

In the latest Eilish installment, Billie – the icon that she is – fulfills everyone’s fantasy of having a mall all to themselves. Featuring her cheeky humor, she goes from kiosk to kiosk, snatching and inhaling snacks while lip-syncing and bopping to funky and affirming single about body positivity and self-confidence. The video was shot on iPhone in the Glendale Galleria mall where Eilish had frequented in her adolescence. As a side note, the pretzel was stale, which is why she never ended up taking a bite.

9 all the good girls go to hell – 174 million views

A continuation of “bury a friend,” Eilish rejects her injections as wings viscerally burst from her back. She falls from the heavens and lands into an oil pit from which she emerges into a dirt lot. She drags her along her angel wings as fires go off around her and set the wings on fire, burning them off and giving them a new demonic look.

After she’s made her transformation, there are female figures that dance in the fires behind her. The song’s visuals and lyrics elaborate on global warming and misogyny.

8 everything i wanted – 201 million views

Becoming a world-famous musician overnight as a teen can be an overwhelming if not a downright traumatic experience, as Eilish describes in “everything i wanted.” In her lyrics, she expresses how getting everything that she and any other person wants, especially as a musician, forces her to change how she lives and her perception of people. Through it all, she has her family and those whom she loves. In the video, Billie and her brother Finneas drive a car into the ocean, willingly sinking into the depths together as they hold hands. It’s an emotional project as a result of a tumultuous journey.

7 you should see me in a crown (Vertical Video) – 225 million views

This radio hit single was sure to catch anyone who was somehow not yet initiated with her music following Billie’s debut. It’s a song that evokes the sense of power, confidence, and violence of Lorde’s “Glory and Gore,” as Billie sings about effortlessly being able to conquer the world.

The video famously features Billie comfortably accessorized by spiders, and more importantly, a stint where a friendly tarantula crawls out of her mouth. The strangeness of her interaction with the spiders as well as her ice-cold gaze may very well cure anyone’s arachnophobia.

Confrontational and honest, a young Billie stands in front of the mirror while she sings of fame, societal expectations, and depression. She points and stares at herself as she states, “I don’t wanna be you anymore.” A gorgeous song paired with the simple visuals emphasizes how we become our own worst critics under society’s heavy eye.

5 Ocean Eyes – 336 million views

Billie’s debut single, the catchy single was originally written by her brother and producer Finneas for his band, deciding that his sister’s vocals would better fit the sound. Originally aspiring to be a dancer preceding a damaging injury to her growth-plate, this song appears to have started the course that would be her musical empire. In the video, Eilish sings to the music in a dreamy mise-en-scene.

4 bury a friend – 394 million views

The cinematic and disorientingly spooky showcase of Billie as a nightmarish test-subject that doubles as a boogeyman took the world by storm, charming and intimidating many. The fast pacing and creative filmmaking combine for a chill-inducing display of Billie staggering and hovering about as she lip-syncs under strobing and restless choreography. “bury a friend” shows a more mature side of her campaign and introducing impressive darkness and unabashed strangeness juxtaposed against previous her career of soft vocals and pop influence.

3 when the party’s over – 663 million views

A heartbreaking yet impressive technical display, Billie is seen seated in a white room with a glass of poisonous-looking, thick liquid before her. She downs it whole, causing her to cry/bleed the dark fluid until she bursts offscreen. It’s a distressing expression that provides plenty to interpret, though Eilish has spoken on the toxic attributes to party and youth culture.

2 bad guy – 1.053 billion views

“bad guy” is a catchy and color video about Billie being Billie (and flipping sexism on its head). Eilish owns the scenery like the boss she is, the mood allows anyone watching it to tap their feet and sing along while feeling like they own the day. A staple in modern pop culture, the video and song have been parodied, memed, and referenced often in other media as it may very well be Billie’s most accessible single.

1 lovely – 1.061 billion

The vast-sounding, melodic piece accompanied by Khalid makes for an emotionally-driven and intense performance piece as Billie and her counterpart are stuck within a glass box, chains around their necks. Perhaps a statement on how artists are often limited within how audiences and society treat them or the potential isolating nature of relationship and depression, the two provide rich vocals over a record-breaking video.
