This is what I believe is happening. Record companies are in the business of making money. More sales more money. To get more sales you need promotion. You can have the greatest set of songs imaginable, but if people don't know about it then so what. To promote you go on the talk show circuit, you make great music videos, you get some of your music on a TV show or movie soundtrack and yes a couple of radio friendly songs on the CD that the record company can use promote the artist and the CD. At this point in her career it doesn't look like Lana is willing to do any of the above. Post the occasional snippet every few months is treating the fans like a dog. Throw the dog an occasional crumb and he'll hang around a few more months. A sad state of affairs for an artist who I considered my all time favorite female singer until just recently.

I've been a big fan since almost the beginning but am getting fed up with a career arc that consists of news items every few months that say "Lana Del Rey posts an instagram snippet of a somber new song.", with of course a photo that looks like she just got out of bed to post the somber snippet. There, I've vented.

I always believed that MAC and Venice Beach were released very early to divert attention away from her cancellation of the Israel Festival show. There was so much pro and con in the media about it at the time. I don't believe in coincidences. On August 31 she announces cancellation of the show that she was supposed to have performed at on September 7. September 7 just happened to also be the date that she announced two new songs to be dropped, one on September 12. A fluke? I don't believe it. Remember the full page ad in the New York Times putting down Lorde when she had also cancelled a few months before?

Check out the Payola scandals of the 1950s. Also isn't it interesting that the only week there are technical issues is the week that Lana has her new album out. Also don't forget the fake letters against her Academy Award nomination for Young and Beautiful. She should have had a nomination but there was a behind the scenes effort to screw her. Let's face it: Fake News has now spread to fake music charts. Maybe Billboard is being controlled by a cabal. There's another possible reason but you can't mention it anywhere anymore since we live in a politically correct society.

For crying out loud. She gets a number one and still it's the glass is half empty as opposed to half full. The great David Bowie who is a true legend got is first Billboard Number 1 album with Blackstar after he passed on. Think about that for a moment. 

You just proved my point. You can't even say that America is politically correct without being called ignorant. My parents lived under Josef Stalin. We were taught to be on the lookout of mind and thought control from a mile away. If you speak your mind now days online, you immediately get attacked. Don't you dare teach me about what I can or can't say.
