base talk Has Billie Eilish surpassed Ariana Grande?

[Nico Robin]

Ariana is still bigger

[Robyn.]

Ariana always had weak sales (albums) compared to previous MPGs, so it wouldn't come of as a surprise if we're talking strictly sales.

 

Although Ariana has more hits and feels more famous.

[GAGAxMONSTER]

Love Ari but when WWAFA stopped Ariana's very short reign as the current queen pop girl, we knew it was only a matter time till she eclipsed her career wise.

And now that time has come I'm afraid.

[on the line]

I couldn't quote a single line from a Billie song. She has nothing iconic like "I want it, I got it." She may be the gen z "it" star du jour (and with their attention span issues it won't last long), but she doesn't have the catalogue or longevity (at least yet.)

[Santhosh]

Lol

 

No

[CherryBay]

It's wasn't hard tho. 

[Nightingale]

Maybe album success wise but Ariana has more celebrity presence and name brand recognition and hits

[Hunter_13]

Yes

An anticipated debut album from an upcoming young artist with a fresh sound and image, which was promoted everywhere and had 10 singles outshined a mixtape turned into album with 3 singles and no promo? That's crazy, how did that happen? 

[UnusualBoy]

Not yet but she's doing so great.

[supertiffany]

Billie has bigger albums but Ariana has more bigger songs especially globally

[unino]

maybe Billie with another era and Ariana focusing on other things. 

[Gerardo]

the delusion 

she has like half of Ariana's equivalent album units, and Ariana has out streamed her this decade so far so it's not like Billie is catching up 

[Aethereal]

Billie's 3 biggest albums are bigger than Ariana's 3 biggest. But Ariana has more albums and all of them were successful so it depends on the long run. So she has already out peaked Ariana.  Billie's debut and sophomore are bigger and more iconic than any Ariana album. (TU,N was a fluke.) 

 

TU,N can compete with Gags 2018 soundtrack tho.

Ariana is the bigger pop star, and does have more hits - but Billie is more critically acclaimed. Both can coexist. They are in their own lanes

yeah

 

this is like comparing beyonce and rihanna 

[Tm4074]

No lol. ATRL's revisionist history and memory loss strikes again. Is Billie bigger than Rihanna as well because Billie has albums that are bigger than Rihanna's albums? Be serious ATRL. Billie's albums have some of the best longevity in the game and she has strong pure sales but let's see if she can keep it up for 7 albums because not many artists make it that far, especially artists that had such a big peak so early in their career. Ariana is the bigger name/star power, has way more hit singles, and is still commercially bigger overall.

Happier Than Ever is not more iconic than TUN. Dangerous Woman is even more iconic than Happier Than Ever.  

[Billionaire]

Billie has been bigger than her since 2019. 

[Kimi]

no lol

That's her third album actually.

[sweetkiss]

as arianator i voted billie, idk gut feeling but when you guys pulled the facts it does make sense why i feel that way, ariana has hits, but billie has respect in the industry and artistry gives her longevity, ariana was relying on 'marketing' to get hits, billie just drops the quality song and its on charts for years. idk, she has timeless sound, ari sounds dated

Rihanna is bigger than Beyonce, so it's not comparable.

In certain fields yes, she's the last artist to make such a huge debut but Ariana has been improving and reaching higher career heights every release plus she's the voice of her generation. She's in her Mariah bag
