It’s wild that Lana sold more than Beyoncé

Tbf all Beyoncé released was CC, which while successful wasn't a major long term hit with fans or casuals. Plus she basically went silent after it dropped.

Lana sells less in opening weeks but generally has more longevity and stability with each project.
