By Ethan Millman, Hollywood Reporter | D4vd just locked the second-best debut on the Billboard 200 this week, and he did it almost entirely on his iPhone. The rising alternative act’s Withered, his debut album following viral hits like “Here With Me” and “Romantic Homicide,” landed at No. 13 on the Billboard chart with 30,000 units sold, sandwiched between Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft and Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.
It’s a solid opening in its own right as the 20-year-old — who has 32 million monthly listeners on Spotify and is signed to Darkroom/Interscope — lands a top-15 debut for his first album, but it’s particularly notable given his recording process. While at-home recording has of course ballooned in the digital era as recording equipment has gotten cheaper and higher quality, making a successful commercial album on a six-inch phone screen is another step further.
