**INGLEWOOD, CA** – Billie Eilish continues her reign atop the Billboard Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, with her album “Hit Me Hard and Soft” securing its 24th non-consecutive week at number one. This remarkable achievement prevents Elvis Presley’s “The Classic Christmas Album” from claiming the top spot, despite rising to a new high of number two.

While “The Classic Christmas Album” fails to reach the summit this time, it marks a significant milestone, achieving its highest position ever on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart and spending a full year (52 weeks) on the ranking, though non-consecutively since 2012. The album has previously reached number two in 2020. Notably, it does secure the number one spot on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums chart.

Eilish’s album has spent a total of 32 weeks on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, showcasing its enduring popularity. This win marks a continued success for the young artist, who outpaced even the legendary Elvis Presley in this latest chart battle.
