k4rmabutterfly Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 According to ChartMasters, yes. Their total units: Billie Eilish - 46,717,000 (2 albums + 1 EP) Lana Del Rey - 44,691,000 (8 albums) Billie has 2 Oscars and 9 Grammys, while Lana has none. What does ATRL think? Has Billie surpassed Lana? Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wish Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Lana originally walked so that Billie could run. Now, they're both running side by side, and we LOVE to see it 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Selegend Posted May 10 Popular Post Share Posted May 10 Billie did surpass Lana in total units and awards, but i think Lana will always be seen as more influential. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawk Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Commercially? For sure. Culturally, it's pretty even, but I think Billie is slightly higher. Cult-Wise? Lana for sure, her fanbase is huge and she's already a legend within the music industry, Billie is getting there, but Lana has solidified herself as one of the greats like Kurt Cobain & other icons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feanor Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Commercially, Billie has sold more units, so yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatestLoveofAll Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Billie, like many of the rap girls in regard to Nicki, owe a lot of the success and impact they have with their sound to Lana. It feels wrong to compare when their careers are so different and serve such different purposes in the history of pop music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirrtydiana Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 More like Lana seems to be catching up to Billie. It's not a jab at Lana but since 2019 it's finally been accepted to like her openly and she's finally getting her flowers she's deserved whereas Billie was an overnight thing but always makes it clear she's here thanks to lana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnusualBoy Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Yeah but somehow as someone above mention it feels more like Lana is catching up, Lana had a rocky start and as time has progressed she's getting more love and more support so she now gets more sucess than she didn't receive when she started (Although she started sucessful but you know what I mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScorpiosGroove Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 commercially and award wise obviously but lana is lowkey even more popular and respected today than she was a decade ago and she'll always have the bigger impact on the music scene and her peers bc duh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bielneira Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Comercially, yes. Not in terms of impact tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGKC Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 These types of questions are too complex to answer straight. Lana grew out of the tumblr era. The average person doesn't check or see numbers the way ATRL does, but they do remember the aesthetics and cultural reset Lana made, which ultimately allowed her to slow burn and outstream countless MPGs. She's the only one that really had that type of effect and it stands out. Billie's appeal is a lot different, but she obviously had the massive hits that Lana never had.

drivers license Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 commercially ok, but like, even Billie herself would disagree to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyxmage Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Critically and commercially.... well YES! Personally I like Lana's music better (until she got lazy and boring after NFR) but Billie still has a long way to go when it comes to impact. Shes so young though so she can definitely surpass Lana there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 On a level that can be measured tangibly by statistics such as awards and album units, sure. Culturally? Never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
