Christopher Cross Welcomes Billie Eilish and Finneas to a Very Exclusive Grammys ‘Club’
Billie Eilish entered the most exclusive Grammy guild of all time on Sunday night when she swept the event's top four categories — album (When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?), record and song of the year ("Bad Guy") and best new artist — a feat nobody has done since 1981. That's when yacht rock captain Christopher Cross did it for the first, and only other, time.
Eilish became the youngest artist to complete the four-fecta, matching the feat pulled off by Cross for his pillowy hit "Sailing" and self-titled debut album, so of course Chris reached out to give some props to Billie and her producer/brother, Finneas.
"My record of winning the four General Field Grammys in one night stood for 39 years, until a talented young sister and brother came along," Cross wrote alongside a throwback pic of his big night along with a shot of Eilish and Finneas cradling their collective nine Grammys.
"Congratulations to Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell for their remarkable contribution to music history. Well done. Records are made to be broken, and I could not be any more pleased with their achievement. Welcome to the club, friends."
