Again, I don’t think caring about commercial success is silly or shallow. I think basing an artist’s worth off of those things IS, but that’s not what I’m implying. As a fan for many years, I don’t think it’s accurate to say Lana doesn’t care about commercial success. In the LFL era her team fought for number 1, in the NFR era she made a video talking about her first week streams. Do I think she bases her worth off of those things? No. Do I think I would like her music any less if it didn’t sell well? No. But I think it’s naive to think that commercial success doesn’t matter to artists. If you or I were to release an album to the public, seeing it be well-received would be rewarding, both critically and commercially. I rest my case on this topic now. ✨
