As in a young girl comes out of nowhere with a song that's a big hit, stays popular and relevant for a little while but when it comes time to start putting out songs for the 2nd album they don't do so well and then she fades into obscurity and is no longer mainstream.

They're both not very talented but I think Billie Eillish will have a lot more staying power because she's already much more popular and successful than Lorde was at her peak.

Lorde was marketed as an indie artist at the tail end of a generation that didnt really care about music, whereas Billie Eilish was pushed very early on as a celebrity figure for alternative kids who didnt connect as much with the music and culture of their peers. Shes gonna be around for a while.

"Team" was a pretty good song, but other than that I'd be hard pressed to name any other really big songs from her.. and that was six or seven years ago already.

Lorde's 2nd album did well and was praised.

Most artists only have a few moments, if any, of true superstardom

Her second album was better than her first IMO. It's a shame it didn't get nearly as much mainstream attention. Supposedly she's been working on her third album too.

2013-14. Royals came out in 2013 and was of course a massive success. I'll never forgive Lorde for starting this trend of slower/mid-tempo songs and killing the fun upbeat party songs after her song came out, that is still happening to this day pretty much 6 and a half to 7 years later.

Green Light is way more fun and upbeat IMO

I've only liked 1 Billie song, but pretty much any I've heard from Lorde i like enough to listen again.

Other than Royals, these are my favorites:

she's more of a combination of Lorde and Lana Del Rey with some edgyness thrown in the mix.

I like Lorde's version of Everybody Wants to Rule the World. It worked really well with the trailer for AC Unity to.

As for Ellish, well, I like two things about her.

Billie Eyelash doesn't have any songs that come even close to how fantastic these are, especially the first two (my personal favorites)

Melodrama was a pretty good album. The problem is that people didn't bother listening to it.
