Apple today announced that Billie Eilish has been named Apple Music's Artist of the Year in 2024 for her "extraordinary impact" throughout the year.

Eilish receives a physical Apple Music Award featuring a custom 12-inch silicon wafer.

"Since day one, Apple Music has supported my music and artistry, and I am both honored and humbled to receive this recognition as Artist of the Year this many years into my career," said Eilish. Apple featured Eilish's music in its 2018 holiday season ad when she was just 16 years old, and Apple TV+ released a documentary about her in 2021.

Eilish released her third full-length studio album this year, called "HIT ME HARD AND SOFT," and Apple describes it as the "best music of her career." The album reached the number-one spot on Apple Music's all-genre albums chart in 138 countries worldwide.

In addition, her soundtrack "What Was I Made For?" from the Barbie film won a GRAMMY Award for Song of the Year this year.

The 22-year-old singer-songwriter was also named Apple Music's Artist of the Year in 2019. She is the first artist to win the award twice.

What “extraordinary impact”? Not heard a single song she released this year on the radio!

Tho I can’t stand her miserable sounding music.

What a waste of wafer that could have gone into a SoC in Mac, iPad or iPhone etc

Apple isn’t looking to award someone that will have a long-lasting impact on culture. Not that I think that sort of art is made much anymore. In fact it may just be a big money-laundering game like so much of the art world (look up free ports if you don’t believe me)

Stevie Wonder or GTFO. 1976 or 2024, makes no difference and that's my story. I will also be having a face-off between Prince, Phil Collins and John Popper for next year's award.

Patrician tastes. See Apple, this isn’t hard if you put even an ounce of effort in.

-glances at Top 100 book-
Oh wait never mind me. Just more proof this is some payola scheme.
