Billie Eilish's Surprise: "Hotline (Edit)" Makes a Comeback on the Charts
Billie Eilish fans, dust off your air guitars! One of her most unexpected hits, “Hotline (Edit),” is making a surprise return on the Billboard Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart.
For those who might be new to the Billie Eilish fandom, “Hotline (Edit)” is actually a reimagining of Drake’s mega-hit “Hotline Bling.” Eilish put her own dark, haunting spin on the song, stripping it down and making it her own.
Originally released on vinyl for Record Store Day in 2018, “Hotline (Edit)” eventually found its way to streaming services and digital stores, much to the delight of fans. It became a surprise chart hit for Eilish, reaching number 20 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart.
This week, “Hotline (Edit)” is back on the chart, re-entering at number 46. This marks its eighth time appearing on the ranking overall. So what sparked this resurgence? It’s hard to say for sure, but it could be anything from a new TikTok trend to a random playlist shuffle that reignited listeners’ love for the track.
One thing’s for certain: Billie Eilish continues to surprise and delight her fans, even with songs released years ago.
