Billie Eilish Responds to Backlash After Condemning ‘Wasteful’ Vinyl Packaging: ‘Wasn’t Singling Anyone Out’


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.

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. “It is right in front of our faces and people are just getting away with it left and right, and I find it really frustrating as somebody who really goes out of my way to be sustainable and do the best that I can and try to involve everybody in my team in being sustainable—and then it’s some of the biggest artists in the world making fucking 40 different vinyl packages that have a different unique thing just to get you to keep buying more.” Much of the criticism came from fanbases for some of the biggest stars in the game, including Taylor Swift, who has released complex vinyl packages for her recent string of albums.
