The Grants live in studio with three harmony girls

Omg this would be incredible - hopefully she records a live lounge when she's in the UK

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

What’re your guesses on which songs will have playlist push on Spotify.

 

For example, for BB, IYLDWM was the song they pushed on “new music friday” and several others. I think that was a great disservice for the success of BB. Imagine if Dealer, the viral hit, was pushed to playlists. 

 

My guess is that Sweet or Candy Necklace will get playlist push? The guess comes from the fact that Candy Necklace seems to have some hype after the teaser and these are the 2 tracks earlier in the album that won’t be out yet by the release. 

 

What’re your guesses?

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?

i feel like she should also release a shortened version of it without the into alongside it.

that's not on Tuesday

placeholder?

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…

so are they gonna send this song to a lot of radios or just BBC? im not sure how that works lol

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...

I see, thank you! Still remaining hopeful for a new single and interview though 

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

Just now, fishtails said:

It says "Hottest Record" on their website though 

 

It also says the program is 2 hours long....idk if thats normal or not but that seems like interview length 

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.

Just now, Ultraviolencez said:

also its been almost a month since a&w release

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

Just now, littleredpartydress said:

I don’t think they would promote it on their calendar if it was a&w.

 

wouldn’t they just play it like a normal song on the radio  

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

I dont think so, when that happened her Team was mad and probably will fix it this time

One can dream

1 minute ago, tulsa jesus freaks said:

oh so like she did for Lust For Life (song)

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

Just now, ChaoticLipster said:

When the new song released is The Grants 

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

4 minutes ago, tulsa jesus freaks said:

how does this work? does it mean a song is coming out on the day? or before? or after?

also are we sure it's not just A&W

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

1 minute ago, God&Monster said:

it wouldn't make sense to have a "hottest record" if the album was already released, so I'm guessing it will be a new song premiere. It would make sense, considering it's one week before the album drops. 

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 )

Y’all are really convincing me on this now, I’d love it to be an actual cover for a box set but my hope is fading more and more as the days go on 

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

With the merch being delayed in the UK, none of the physicals (CDs/cassettes/vinyl) placed in the same order as merch will ship until the 26th May either, so they’re shooting themselves in the foot for first week sales.

 

Occasionally Universal do an exception, send an email out, and cover the cost of part-shipping so people get their physicals (and they get the sales) during release week, but I’m not super hopeful.  It would make sense though, considering people could have ordered 11 formats and a lighter and now 11/12 items in their order are held up.  The reason they do the bundles anyway is to maximise first week sales, so a bit silly not to, but this is Universal/DigitalStores so…

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

Would it be selfish of me to hope she cancels glasto and just do a handful of shows instead  I think just let your fans see you, rather than do a show notoriously hard to get tickets for.. I’m tempted to try and get tickets in the resale but for me and husband £700 to just see Lana (have zero interest in the other acts).. seems excessive.. still would probs do it tho 

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!!
