ON THE COVER:
BILLIE EILISH

Darkroom/Interscope superstar Billie Eilish is concluding the year on a creative and commercial high. Her smash album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, one of the year’s biggest releases, will contend for an AOTY Grammy, and top-streaming track “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” is up for ROTY and SOTY. She’ll conclude the North American leg of her Live Nation-promoted HIT ME HARD AND SOFT Tour with a triumphant five-night stand at L.A.’s Forum, 12/15-17, 20-21.

Meanwhile, Eilish has been candid about her personal life, further solidifying her connection to her devoted fans. But surely she has better ways to celebrate the holidays than by appearing on the cover of this unwelcome stocking stuffer.
