Update:<\/b> Within an hour of its release late Thursday\/early Friday, Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever” rocketed to #1 on the US iTunes album sales chart.<\/p>\n

It briefly slid to #2, however, as NEEDTOBREATHE’s fellow new release “Into The Mystery” moved into the pinnacle position.<\/p>\n

“Happier Than Ever” nonetheless gained additional momentum as Friday progressed, and it has since returned to #1 on the listing.
\n====
\nAs the follow-up to a Grammy-winning album from one of music’s most beloved and acclaimed artists, Billie Eilish’s new “Happier Than Ever” was sure to make an immediate impact upon its release.<\/p>\n

That impact is already visible on the US iTunes store.<\/p>\n

The album, which launched at midnight late Thursday\/early Friday, holds #1 on the store’s all-genre sales chart as of 1AM ET. “Happier Than Ever” takes over #1 from ZZ Top’s “Greatest Hits,” which reached #1 in the wake of bassist Dusty Hill’s passing.<\/p>\n

The US iTunes chart tends to be very volatile in the early morning hours on Friday, but “Happier Than Ever” seems like a safe bet to retain its #1 position for the near-term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The new Billie Eilish album is making an immediate splash on iTunes.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":151632,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[183,1047,206],"tags":[9683,15029],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nBillie Eilish's "Happier Than Ever" Reclaims #1 On US iTunes Album Sales Chart (Update)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: Within an hour of its release late Thursday\/early Friday, Billie Eilish's "Happier Than Ever" rocketed to #1 on the US iTunes album sales chart.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2021\/07\/30\/billie-eilishs-happier-than-ever-rockets-to-1-on-us-itunes-album-sales-chart\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Billie Eilish's "Happier Than Ever" Reclaims #1 On US iTunes Album Sales Chart (Update)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Update: Within an hour of its release late Thursday\/early Friday, Billie Eilish's "Happier Than Ever" rocketed to #1 on the US iTunes album sales chart.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2021\/07\/30\/billie-eilishs-happier-than-ever-rockets-to-1-on-us-itunes-album-sales-chart\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-07-30T05:02:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-07-30T13:58:21+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Billie-Eilish-Happier-Than-Ever-Cover-2.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1051\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1056\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2021\/07\/30\/billie-eilishs-happier-than-ever-rockets-to-1-on-us-itunes-album-sales-chart\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2021\/07\/30\/billie-eilishs-happier-than-ever-rockets-to-1-on-us-itunes-album-sales-chart\/\",\"name\":\"Billie Eilish's \\\"Happier Than Ever\\\" Reclaims #1 On US iTunes Album Sales Chart (Update)\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-07-30T05:02:38+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-07-30T13:58:21+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Update: Within an hour of its release late Thursday\/early Friday, Billie Eilish's \\\"Happier Than Ever\\\" rocketed to #1 on the US iTunes album sales chart.\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2021\/07\/30\/billie-eilishs-happier-than-ever-rockets-to-1-on-us-itunes-album-sales-chart\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News & Charts, TV News & Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
