The 18-year-old singer-songwriter Billie Eilish, from Los Angeles, swept the top four prizes at Sunday’s Grammy Awards, becoming the first artist to do so in the last 39 years.
A black-and-green clad Eilish won five prizes in total, including record, song, and album of the year, as well as the best new artist. She is the youngest artist to win album of the year in Grammy history, Eilish came with his brother Finneas O’Connell to receive the awards. Finneas O’Connell also won a pair of statuettes as a producer and for directing her music.

“We made this album in a bedroom in the house we grew up in, and it was mastered in someone’s living room,” Eilish said. “Anything is possible.”
The Grammys audience has declined this statement for years, but the awards can still pump the sales for the winning artists. It’s also a priceless showcase for the stars performing during the telecast. According to the reports, the songs featured on last year’s Grammys noticed a 480% boost in digital-download sales.
