Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft returns to the top of the ARIA Albums Chart this week, reclaiming the No. 1 position for the first time since mid-July. The album, which previously spent five non-consecutive weeks at the summit in 2024, surged back to the top following her sold-out Australian tour dates.

In a new interview with Australia’s The Hot Hits, Eilish was asked about her plans for the the next 12 months and if they include getting back in the studio. Her response confirmed that and also suggested news of more tour dates is coming:

Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft remains strong on the U.K.'s Official Albums Sales chart, while When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? and Happier Than Ever return.

Billie Eilish goes from two Hot 100 hits to four in the span of only a few days, as "Guess" with Charli XCX and "The Greatest" join "Birds of a Feather" and "Wildflower."
