Xenoblade 3

Greatest Hits is not happening esp in the streaming era. It would tank her album sales as the streams will be shared by two albums. She’s a streaming artist just as much as she’s a vinyl seller. She’s not Sh4nia Tw4in or something that has zero streaming presence. Releasing a Greatest Hits wouldn’t affect her sales. It would for L4na. Born To Die is on track to become the longest charting female album of all time. They’re not going to want to mess with that.

Actually, it makes perfect sense if B3n is following the Dva print. She’s about to have two songs on TTH if a lead single coming. L4na is about to be perched on that playlist all year long with multiple songs methinks. The demand is there to make that possible. The extra release will help boost each other. It won’t take away. It will boost. Esp if the new song is good.

It took Summertime 10 years to get 1.5b then it’ll take 100 years for the Snow song and Angel to reach that number. The daily Spotify streams for both of those songs on are horrible (esp in comparison to their chart peaks). 100K for Snow and 90K for Angel (mind you, SS does 1.5 MILLION unfiltered streams daily). That’s why they’re not real hits. The Snow song won’t be passing 500 million any time soon. Angel only has 300 million streams. Let The Light In, Art Deco, Chemtrails, etc will pass all of them. These songs didn’t even chart. The snow song and DCMA are fraudulent fads not real hits.

Summertime Sadness has actually never charted. Idk why people keep saying that. Only the remix charted. It literally officially credited as such.

Well, yes. But I’m going to need you stop grouping “Snow” and “Angel” with those songs. They are not real hits . The chart peaks for those two songs are fraudulent. And Summertime Sadness did NOT chart.

And it will outstream both of those songs, just like SYTH did. Once again, it goes to show that peaks aren’t everything. Not representative how big a song actually is.

https://x.com/chartlana/status/1811442277828510156?s=61 Mind you, Ocean BlvTANK was struggling to stay above 1 million just a year ago: https://x.com/chartlana/status/1602731667826905096?s=61 https://x.com/chartlana/status/1605266324766203916?s=61 And that was an improvement over Arcadia (which was scrapping 500K in Day 1 ). Like people were cheering and hooting and hollering for 1 million plus updates for Ocean . Now she’s doing 3 million plus daily. Her growth has been insane.

I don’t want to comment on this sh!t but it bothers me to no end. The same thing as to calling L4na a racist because QTFC. Migos issued a statement in 2017. 7 years ago. It was done and dusted 7 years ago. It’s just contrarian brain rot. People calling anything popular bad.

Why do people still believe random twitter accounts? What? It was because of Morgan Wallen’s album. Endless Summer Bomb wasn’t remotely a threat.

S4brina C4rpenter releases her music the exact time tracking week starts. They also sent her songs to radio + auto play. She’s been getting pushed since last year. “Nonsense” was one of the first songs to get the new updated Spotify auto play feature (payola autoplay). I think it was the first song to get it . She’s also a “in the moment” artist right now. They kinda pushed her with auto play to get that far tbh. They took perfect advantage of it. Expresso was released at right moment too. It was during her Coachella Week. Both her and Ch4pell R0an got Coachella boosted. Expresso was the first song that clicked with the GP for her after being auto played with her other songs. Mind you, Expresso is still also auto played, but it also clicked with the GP. That’s why the numbers are so big. Ch4pell’s rise is much more organic. Miss S4brina has been doing some behind the scene shenanigans since last year. Billboard count radio + streams. L4na is already at a disadvantage because she’s not a radio artist. L4na is also not a singles artist. She’s an album artist. And Billboard is a U.S. chart. L4na is actually bigger in the UK than the US. Billboard doesn’t really reflect what songs are popular right now (at least the positions). It’s a chart that ranks what’s the most popular radio friendly songs. Not songs in general. For Example, My Love Mine All Mine peaked at #26. That song was way bigger than that number. The same with #91 peaking Video Games. Not charting at all Summertime Sadness. Yes, SS didn’t chart. It was the remix that charted. And Tough was released on Wednesday again. Loosing two days of tracking. There’re a lot of things stacked against it. It needs to be an insane streaming monster (in the US) to get good positions on billboard because radio is basically 0, and it lost 2 days worth of streams already. And for it to stay on the chart, it needs higher streaming ratio than most of all the other songs. Tbh, it could do that if it’s truly a big hit but the positions on Billboard won’t reflect how big it actually is. Just like the example songs I mentioned above.

These are not hits. They peaked high then fell off the face of the earth. SYTH already outstreamed them multiple times over despite peaking at #54. I mean SYTH outstreamed a bunch of #1 hits lol. Billboard is a useless chart.

SYTH was a surprise drop with no lead up promo, no live performance, no music video. Need to see where “Tough” is a month from now. SYTH was still doing 2 million streams a month after release.

I hate to say it, but my biggest problem with the song is L4na’s verse. I actually don’t mind Qu4vo’s auto tuned voice lol. There are crating parts to his verse as well (he was straining in parts), but I got used to it pretty quick. I like the song and want to play the song up until L4na’s verse. As soon as it reaches that part, I want to turn it off. I don’t like how she sounds here. I have to mentally prepare for it and that gets exhausting. She’s just mumbling too much. I don’t like how weak her voice sounds, and I don’t like how her voice is edited. I like every other part. It just sounds she’s struggling and holding back not properly singing/annunciating. She sounds too timid and apprehensive. And the editing on that part doesn‘t help. It just sounds weird. Her voice here just reminds me of the interesting week 1 Coachella performance. She’s slurring her words. And some parts of the lyrics aren’t even coming out. I’m getting flashbacks to images of Lana pointing the mic to the audience constantly. Her holding and grasping her neck because the notes aren’t coming out. It’s quite traumatic that’s why I don’t like it because her verse reminds me of that. Edit: This was the wrong lyrics. It’s actually “Like the smoke and the drawl of your “Y’all” now in the way you talk slow” This makes way more sense lol. And it’s not as slurred as I thought. “Every” is very slurred/edited? and “Truth” is barely audible. You can hear her damaged voice and her struggle for air and that’s the biggest problem. The editing doesn’t help either. It just sounds very odd. It makes the listener uncomfortable. I feel like they should’ve re-recorded that part with L4na singing and annunciating more clearly. The bridge is perfect because she’s not slurring and she’s actually singing with energy. The chorus is a bit slurred too if I’m being honest, but it’s not as bad as the verse. Qu4v0’s voice backing also help it sounds clearer and richer. I just want to sing along to her part, but I can’t because you can barely understand her and her voice keeps dipping in and out . I can’t be the only one having problems with L4na’s vocal performance, right? Her vocals have been very inconsistent even in studio recordings now since Blue Banisters. Chemtrails still have great vocals. “Say Yes To Heaven” is a smash because of how beautiful and buttery smooth her voice sounds. Her voice carried that whole song. “Blue Skies” also have great vocals (the whole song tanked tho because the unnecessary too long outro). We need that kind of energy in most songs. I say “most” because some songs do benefit from her sounding weak and broken but not every song. Edit: Taking back what I said, chile. Her verse grew on me 🤭. Edit: After many listens, Qu4vo’s voice is starting to annoy me. The higher parts are so grating . I completely love L4na’s verse now.

Same mefears. The studio version didn’t eat for me. It sounds like a flop, if I’m being honest . It could be a smash if they just tweaked a few more things. Remove from the chart potential and all that. Personally, it didn’t give. The chorus is really catchy, but some parts of Quavo’s verse is irritating. And I don’t like L4na’s verse either. Her voice sounds really weird there. Like it is catchy, but I’m not gagging. It’s just… ok. Chart-wise, it doesn’t sound like a hit either to me. All I’m going to say is “Let The Light In” should have gotten this promo. That sounds a like a classic. This song? It’s cute, but I don’t think I’ll listen to it again . Maybe it’ll grow on me the same way Ocean Blvd title track did. Tough felt similar to that for me. The title track eventually grew on me in the sense that I don’t absolutely despise it any more, but it still ranks low overall compared to the other songs on that album. Edit: it’s on repeat now .

This was definitely was for Lasso originally.
