The tribute seems appropriate since Eilish not only reached No. 1 on the Hot 100, but she also became the first artist born this century to have a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200.
“Billie has disrupted the entertainment industry through her music and social media platforms, leaving an indelible impact on the global cultural zeitgeist,” says Hannah Karp, Billboard’s Editorial Director. “Her ability to speak to the Gen-Z population, making teens and young adults feel accepted in today’s society has quickly allowed Eilish to grow to the top of the charts, breaking the mold for this generation with her electric hair-color and sharp attitude."
Eilish joins the ranks of previous Woman of the Year honorees like fellow Chase Center artist Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift and more.
Don’t miss Eilish when she brings the WHERE DO WE GO? WORLD TOUR to Chase Center on April 7, 2020. Get your tickets to the show here.
