Billie Eilish did not release “bury a friend” until the middle of the sales and streaming tracking week. It has not (at least not yet) received ample attention at radio.
Despite those factors, “bury a friend” generated enough activity to make a splash on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The song starts at #74 on this week’s listing, which ranks songs based on the aforementioned sales-streaming-radio methodology.
“bury a friend” marks eilish’s seventh career Hot 100 entry. It is thus far her fourth-highest-peaking after “when the party’s over” (#52), “lovely” (#64) and “come out and play” (#69).
