Quality-wise

I think it is I think another strong contender would be Gaga's TF - TFM - BTW but I don't want to get into the debate over whether TF & TFM should be considered separate albums.

Does any of those album has at least one universally worldwide known hit song which is recognize by GP, outside her fans?

Cause I honestly can think of one?

You are comparing it with The Fame, Fame Moster and BTW but those have huge hits as such Poker Face. Bad Romance. Born This Way ...

Huh?

All singles from her debut are gp hits

It is definitely the closest contender to TF/TFM/BTW.

Take Me Apart, Raven, New Avatar

Born to Die, Ultraviolence, Honeymoon

Did you want to make a case for Taylor Swift - Fearless - Speak Now?

Beyoncés debuts are underrated, except bday.

Billie Eilish?

No. All three albums could've been packed into album.

I don't see any artistic risks or growth.

I don't know Kali Uchis' run has been the most bulletproof to me so far

Lana's debut is Lana Del Rey.

OT: Billie's, Olivia's, Taylor's and Katy's 1-2-3 debut album runs are the strongest for their different music landscapes.

Ah, sry. Misread that.

In that case, we have to include Billie Eilish:

WDWGWWFA - Happier Than Ever - HMHAS

are extremely well done and very bold.

This decade yes but this century is a stretch

Sorry to burst your bubble but Olivia doesn't have one universally worldwide recognizable hit

Olivia is super popular in a certain Gen Z demographic thats all

Which of her songs is on level of already mentioned Poker Face, Bad Romance, Born This Way, or Adele´s Someone Like You, Hello, Beyonce´s Crazy In Love, Irreplaceable, Single Ladies or Halo and I can go on and on

It's definitely Billie or Gaga
