13. Billie Eilish, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019)

The 18-year-old’s debut album not only helped solidify her career but reshape the pop genre as we know it. When We All Fall Asleep was an accurate depiction of Eilish’s bad-ass, mascara clad, and frightening-yet-lovable persona. Not only was this album warped with dark themes such as anxiety and terrors in the night, but it also consisted of a plethora of influences, such as hip hop, industrial, and art-pop.
