Billie Eilish Becomes Singer With Most Unique Vocabulary, 169 Per 1000

JAKARTA - It's no secret that music can affect the listener's vocabulary. From year to year, every musician presents a new perspective, including from the lyrics of their songs.

Billie Eilish is a modern singer who has the most vocabulary. This can be seen after the album Happier Than Ever was released last week.

A Wordtips word search operator uncovers the use of words in songs belonging to the most listened to musicians. They use the words spoken by each musician and add up the unique words they use per 1000.

As a result, Billie Eilish was ranked first with 169 unique words per 1000, followed by Harry Styles with 159 and Lizzo with 153. In addition, there are Meghan Trainor with 72, Carly Rae Jepsen with 69 and Trey Songz with 66.

Wordtips also analyzes vocabulary for legendary musicians. Singer Patti Smith still occupies the first position with 217 unique words. Then there's Joni Mitchell with 199 words and Björk with 197 words.

Overall, the average vocabulary used by legendary musicians is 124 words compared to the 107 words of modern musicians.

There is a conceptual comparison where sometimes legendary musicians work closely with songwriters to produce a work. These days, modern musicians prefer to dive right into the process of writing lyrics.

The legendary singer Bob Dylan was asked by Wordtips as the musician who explored the most unique words in his song. Bob Dylan produced 12,285 unique words throughout the release of his song.

Following, there is Prince with 11,430 words throughout the release of the song. Prince is known for his unique vocabulary such as Superfunkycalifragisexy and Hundalasiliah.
