Entity Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Dua and Billie are both two of the biggest MPGs that debuted in the past 5 years, both releasing their first major album/ep in 2017. Many would argue that Billie was the biggest act from this batch of MPGs, but as we head into 2023, do you think the tides have shifted such that Dua is bigger than Billie at this point?

Virgos Groove Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Depends on the metric tbh. Dua is the bigger hitmaker, but Billie's albums are bigger events. I think we can compare it to Gaga and Rihanna in the early-10s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrgVisual Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 NO Billie stomps in album sales, acclaim, touring, GP recognition Dua might have an advantage in the number of hits but it's debatable since Billie's hits might end up bigger in the long run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodflowers. Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Depends on the metric tbh. Dua is the bigger hitmaker, but Billie's albums are bigger events. I think we can compare it to Avril and P!nk in the early-00s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devin Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Depends on the metric tbh. Dua is the bigger hitmaker, but Billie's albums are bigger events. I think we can compare it to Mozart and Beethoven in the late-1700s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoisonedIvy Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Depends on the metric tbh. Dua is the bigger hitmaker, but Billie's albums are bigger events. I think we can compare it to Tchaikovsky and Lizst in the mid-1700s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MingYouToo Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Theres a very fine difference between Dua and Billie. Dua is very Katy adjacent in the sense that she has wide GP appeal and also has a tinge of Rihanna's edgy sex appeal. Billie is a way bigger force online and has a larger dedicated fanbase but simply due to the lack of inescapable smashes I think her name recognition across the board is weaker. I mention name recognition because while Billie is bigger with Gen Z by a long shot everyone who knows Billie Eilish from Gen Z will know who Dua Lipa is (vice versa). The differentiating factor is the millennial/boomer gen, and Dua probably edges her out there in terms of celebrity. (She has that Cold Heart song, DSN, NR, OK, Levitating, etc. All GP approved smashas) Edited November 19, 2022 by MingYouToo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selenasworld Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Billie and Dua are both huge I would say Billie is still bigger cuz Dua Lipa isn't close to Billie's success in the USA especially when you compare their solo hits in the USA that is still the #1 market other than that they both are global acts In resume Billie is still the best selling between both Edited November 19, 2022 by Selenasworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm screaming Billie still feels bigger stateside, but Dua probably has the upper hand in Europe and perhaps Latin America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bad guy Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) When Dua get’s a #1 hit or at the very least an album in the Top 2 then maybe we can talk. Until then no. Billie’s sold more albums, singles, grossed more in tours, has more acclaim, and is more known than Dua Lipa.

She's been on tour for a year. Where is Billie? As far as Gaga goes... she's had a legendary award winning career and she's not a late 2010s fad like Miss Billie who is not going to have a hit again. She's got zero artistic identity or something unique that she does. Sorry. Olivia Rodrigo already stole her thunder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can compare it to Avril and P!nk in the early-00s. By that logic, Dua will become massive 5 years from now and serve longevity afterwards (scoring hit after hit with money-making tours), while Billie will fall off and fade into oblivion.

I agree that Billie is bigger, but this is a silly hill to die on when we all know that a Year-End #1 is infinitely bigger than a single-week #1. If Bad Guy had peaked at #2 and missed out on its single week at #1, it wouldn't be any less of a smash hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
