The album definitely grew on me as the weather got better throughout the day It's cute as a whole. Violet Chemistry is my standout track

I think it would've been the Grants, but won't be now it's being released before the album. I'm hoping it's something unexpected to be pushed like Fishtail or Peppers, but it's normally a track from the first half of the album, so probably Candy Necklace?

Definitely. I think iTunes put 2 days so that the song isn't accidentally released at midnight NZ time. If it said 14/03 on iTunes then it would come to the UK at midday on the 13th, if it said 15/03 it would still come too early as it's coming 6/7pm on the 14th

Had a sudden thought that doing right by the fans would be re-doing the EU leg of the NFR tour exactly as it was meant to be... but that makes NO sense. Back to Earth I go

It’s hard for me to digest this album: endless SUMMER vacation, as I stand here on the train platform in torrential rain. This album should’ve definitely been released later in the year. I can think of another album that would match this environment a lot better…

I think that just because a song is ‘hottest record’ doesn’t mean it’s been ‘sent to radio’. I don’t think Chemtrails ever made it to the BBC1 ‘playlist’ but it premiered on there as well. I think the last song of Lana’s to get on BBC1 playlist was DT and that was after release once it gained some traction

Omg just woke up… is it true it’s a Dua collab for Barbie or are the TikTok stans running with that for no reason??

She always said her NEXT album would be digital only...

Oh me too!! I'm pretty sure it'll be a new single, just not 100% on interview.

The 2 hours is just how long the DJs slot is... the hottest record section is just a small chunk of it. They normally play the song and then sometimes have an interview, then play the song again.

Yep exactly, it'll actually have been a month exactly on the date of the radio show

I'm sure it has to be new to count as hottest record... plus A&W has already charted in the UK so it wouldn't make sense

One can dream

Yeah if I'm correct. I think she's done the same think on Apple Music radio a few times as well, but can't remember which songs for which radio

I wouldn't be surprised... I think there's only been a couple of times we haven't had track 1 before release

If we keep an eye on iTunes track lengths it'll hopefully be revealed soon

The song normally drops at the same time it premieres on the radio. I think it was this way for MAC/VB (I can't remember which was hottest record) and COCC

Yes yes yes!! I don't think hottest record is ever a song that's already out, so I'm 90% sure it'll be a new song + an interview (hopefully better than 2021s )

I’m so unsure as well. I’ve just looked at the mock-ups again and it seems the tits one shares a combination of the standard and white. The gatefold, back cover and one sleeve seems the same as the white. The other sleeve seems the same as the black (and it’s shown to be black vinyl). But on the same post she posted the track list which matches the standard. So it’s really confusing. I’m holding out hope bc she said box set but it’s getting close to release

I reckon they'll do anything to get the physicals out release week. I remember when the BB records were delayed, mine were dispatched separately and they both didn't even make release week.

What do you reckon our chances are of the standard/retail vinyl covers having a matte finish like the UV records. I feel like the B&W covers would really suit it

This is what I mean - I can understand doing a festival that your fans could easily buy tickets to but I really hope her one appearance after cancelling 2020 isn’t a festival none of us can go to Regardless of Lana Glastonbury is an amazing festival and definitely worth it, so your money would be well spent if you’re lucky in resale!!

In general the way Glastonbury format their lineups is a bit weird (alphabetical minus pyramid headliners). But yeah while disrespectful it’s nothing personal they just don’t announce stage splits until nearer the dates. I’m sure she’s half trolling

I'm really hoping that it's genius marketing and they're choosing to not sell it until after release to stop anyone cancelling other pre-orders
