She's the best thing that happened to music since Madonna.

Lana is a case of Carly Rae. People didn't care who was singing Summertime Sadness Remix. They loved the song and they wanted more of it so they bought the album. After being disappointed (BTD is nowhere near as mainstream as that SS Remix will lead you to believe) they didn't buy her next effort. Hence UV sales.

Same thing with Lorde IMO. She can't and won't sustain her sales/hype.



Oh forgot about Ellie. Ellie is definitely the biggest newcomer and it seems like she's here to stay.

Not when her album sold the majority of copies before the SS remix that came like more than a year after the release of the album x.x.

Not at all... and Lorde is bigger than Lana.

Grammys and 2 top 10 hits, including a huge #1 smash >> whatever Lana has done.

I love LORDE but she is an one hit wonder tbh

One Direction, Lorde, Ariana Grande, Ellie Goulding, and Bieber (if he counts for the 10s) are all bigger than Lana.

Not when BTD was platinum before the Summertime Sadness remix.

And unlike the sell-out pop girls, Lana followed up a hugely successful era with a dark alternative rock album that was very personal and even less conventional. And it still sold 1.3 million WW and went Gold in the US. And it was critically-acclaimed and made two-dozen best-of-the-year lists by big critics.

And as for those saying Ellie or Lorde are bigger, call me when one of those two sells 5-6 million WW...with an alternative album. It's not mainly about single hits, but about album cohesiveness, quality, longevity, and album sales. Neither artist has become the sort of modern icon that elicits obsessiveness that Lana seems to already be.

you tell them!

[Mariano]

Maybe. Kesha is close too, tho and let's see how Lorde's 2nd album will do.

However Lana did have a hit, Summertime sadness smashed in Europe

[Evangeline]

Her and Lorde,yeah. But there hasn't been a Rihanna,Lady GaGa,Katy Perry level of new artist this decade yet..

[Reader]

Wow, so much truth in one .gif

[babyboy44]

Hell yes!!

[Remember When]

Yes. Lorde comes in second place.

I obviously didn't know that and I stand corrected IF so. No need to be mean :P
I was just basing my theory to what I've seen, which is her popularity rise a whole lot after SS Remix took off. Even so, the fact that UV was a great record and didn't sell is kinda telling.

People are either over her, or over her sound. In which case it sucks since she's great at what she does. Still my opinion.

Then maybe you shouldn't attempt to enlighten people with your braindead theories on things you know nothing about.

[Cain]

Female, yes

Bruno is bigger than most pop girls nowadays

[leon86]

Yes.

Lol at lorde, her cd sold half of ultraviolence WITH promo

Lorde didn't shift 6 million copies with no hit singles though

Multiple hits (one being one of the biggest songs of the year), huge worldwide campaign with Hunger Games, constant media relevancy, and her album has only scanned 2.7 million.

EDIT: Ultraviolence has also passed the 1.5 million WW mark. Sorry Lorde
