Lana was definitely a plant - she started out kind of as an alt artist, where that 100% mattered (at least then). And she was very cleary pushing this indir, DIY image when she most definitely was a major label artist. Lana's probably my favorite artist ever (COCC is my favorite song of 2021, Born to Die is my favorite album ever), but she at least started out as a plant. Doesn't matter, though, since she makes bops. None of what you described makes her a plant.. at worst, it means she was marketed inauthentically, but “marketed authentically” would be an oxymoron, so what’re you gonna do? Actually, this isn't just my opinion. Lana is considered one of the biggest plants in the music industry. The market inauthentically bit refers to the fact she was marketed as this "indie artist" with a lofi video and a look that was unlike any pop singer at the time, and yet from the get go, she already had budget for expensive orchestration that she could only be afforded if she'd already had industry backing. And being a rich artist went against the image she was being marketed as. It was inauthentic, pretending to be independent when you actually have large industry backing is the classic definition of a plant. As I said, it's not a big deal if someone is a plant of not, what matters in the end is if the music is good.

What about for the men? The ones I found so far goes as follow Purpose Divide Scorpion After Hours Edit: Beauty Behind the Madness too. Don't forget Bruno's "Unorthodox Jukebox" ("Locked Out Of Heaven" and "When I Was Your Man"). "Doo Wops And Hooligans" also had two solo #1s, but it was during 2010-11, so not exactly 10 years ago. So counting "21", that would make 4 vs. 6, which isn't all that bad. Cardi could get another solo #1 to accompany "Up" if she plays her cards right, and there's still hope for "pov" if Ariana finally gets good playlisting + the release of an eventful music video. Edit: wait, would BTS count, since neither "Dynamite" nor "Life Goes On" had collaborations?
