Why was Lorde's peak local compared to Lana?

Recommended Posts

Pure Heroine didn't make much noise outside North America and Oceania, while Lana's BTD smashed almost everywhere, despite underperforming in the US first. Is it her image, music or stans just overrate Lorde's sales and impact? Discuss

BTD was a slow burner everywhere. By 2014 when translating singles sales 10 singles = 1 album maybe PH was above BTD overall?  PH was at 3M, while BTD probably at 4.5 million  or something in pure album sales.

That's the million-dollar-question. They are trapped in 2013/14, and they don't want to leave. It's funny they keep saying Lana is on another level now (which is true), but they just can't help bringing her to discussions every single time.

Sometimes I feel like you forget that Lana was in limbo for five years. And I remember that, at that time, while Lorde was outstreaming and outcharting Lana, y'all weren't that crazy about charts and all... hmm funny :coffee:

She doesn't really have a Stan-able personality or celebrity persona, semi by design

While she's about to drop a beyond boring **** ass country album by the burnt out producer Jack Antonoff, youthful Lorde currently got one of the most talented producers for her upcoming album while totally ditching Jack. It must be the jealousy because she'll once again drop something Lana would never be able to make musically even if she tried to, like Melodrama.

It's kind of funny how 10 years later, the script has flipped entirely.

 

Lana is now Taylor Swift's bestie, she's the more popular streaming artist, and her stans are now the only ones making stupid comparison threads like these.

Idk Lana just gave global energy

 

But "Royals" was a huge WW hit and Lorde has a global fanbase too

I feel like Lana's been ahead of Lorde since like 2017 idk why y'all still insist on comparing them. :psyduck:

Im afraid she's a one era wonder, as it's been discussed several times on this forum. 

 

She's good for some melancholia throwback, but alternative culture belongs to Lana and Billie today.

Lorde is so harmless and isn't even active, the obsession the lanas have with her is one of the weirdest in the stan world :deadbanana:

These threads are just made so everyone can fight with @Kayseri Mantisi At least our little thing in the best songwriter poll was organic and didn't involve Lana
