Tbh I believe Billie had 1 hit here while Dua had several hits. I feel like people don't realize how massive Dua is outside of the US. Isn't she one of the biggest, if not biggest, streaming artists WW? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilyLark 10,106 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I like Billie and I dislike how GGD sometimes turns into a pile on her. But...I wouldn't be shocked if she kind of disappears in the worst case scenario and in a best case scenario turns into more of a cult singer a la Lorde or Lana Del Rey. She's been really over-exposed. At one point, she had two different tours planned for the same album. There was a bit of a too much, too soon with her when it came to the Grammy awards to the point even some critics were being snarky (and critics adore her normally). And frankly I'm not sure if she has the vocals (Ariana, Gaga, Bey) or writing capability (Lana, Lorde) to overcome peaking too early. Dua has the bigger international fanbase, stronger vocals, and seems to be having a more "normal" career evolution (not in danger of peaking too early and being over-exposed). However, as a traditional pop girl she'll probably have a shorter career span (due in part to ageism). That said, she's only in her mid 20s & she can always "change" it up to prevent that sort of thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImMatt 1,781 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Interesting comparison. I think in a way Billie has got too big too soon which might make it difficult for her to top what she's already achieved. I really love her and think she's got so much more to give, but as soon as you're at the pinnacle everyone goes after you and, almost by accident, Billie reached the pinnacle so soon. Dua (as much as I'm not a fan) is slowly growing on people and her career path is probably more interesting as she's slowly but surely racking up the hits and developing all the time. This is coming from someone from the UK where Dua is massive already btw. However, a lot of longevity comes down to stage presence and Billie is probably more entertaining and engaging as a performer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes she is #5 or #6 most streamed artist on Spotify and I think she is big on other streaming platforms too so Dua is pretty massive. Her tour, however, isn't sold out.

PUKKIE 457 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 International success, Dua... I have heard Dua on radio more than billie in My country... I feel billie has peaked with that Grammy sweep.. I may be wrong but billie is such a talent.. Top tier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
socotra 3,310 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 billie's voice is somewhat limiting on the kind of music she can realistically be involved in. i think dua has FAR more potential to be versatile, and thus last longer. i personally think Ariana-Dua is the more likely pairing. Ariana really only started taking true creative control of her music career with Dangerous Woman (2016), a year before Dua's first album. In that sense, they've both come into their own around the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doot 2 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I feel like Dua will have a longer career but Billie will have a bigger one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alladin Sane 505 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I think that Billie will have more like a Lana del Rey/Lorde type of success. Like bigger hits here and there, but a cult status and praise from media and critics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
