Billie Eilish claims she wasn’t singling out any artists when she said selling vinyl variants was a ‘wasteful’ tactic to get a No. 1 album.
Billie Eilish has long been combatting the music industry’s overconsumption habits by highlighting its sustainability wins and fails.
In a recent interview centered around her environmental activism for Billboard, Eilish called out the “wasteful” ways the “biggest artists in the world” sell an overwhelming amount of vinyl variants, usually to secure their No. 1 entry on the publication’s albums chart. “I can’t even express to you how wasteful it is,” she said. Though she didn’t name anyone in particular, Eilish’s comments were nitpicked online, with many believing she was “snubbing” their favorite musicians.
“It would be so awesome if people would stop putting words into my mouth and actually read what I said in that Billboard article.
