This makes me think of the Nirvana song Lithium, which is right in line with the themes of WW, and as it follows the name of another legendary song, could this be a double-entendre? 
 
With Pink Floyd and Nirvana came poetry. Or when I added some Nirvana to my Pink Floyd.
 
Imagining the young woman in hospitals, listening to Nirvana on her ipod and finding poetry as a way out  
 

Also in 2091, all new generations will be discovering these albums and won't care in the slightest how many people clicked on it on a Tuesday in 2021 

Imagine a world where sometimes as many as three tempo changes and off-tempo percussion in multiple songs and lyrics written in a stream of consciousness manner that reference the beat and jazz movements in  both delivery and theme in a relatively mainstream contemporary release isn’t experimenting 😂

Looks like projections are up a little. Top 10 isn’t bad at all. Maybe it can still increase if her team pushes Dealer more. Her team sucks for messing up the physicals.

I have a feeling that it gonna be the first lana álbum that will rise on the second week... Vinyls and dealer viral will boom the second week me thinks

What is all this fighting here oh my god
 
do y'all stan Lana because she's commercially successful? It's so clear that neither she or her team care a lot about chart placement, she's just giving us her beautiful music (TWO times this year). This is what matters, so I will never understand why some here care about her chart success more than her own team.
 
And to those who say that we, who enjoyed this new record, are not real fans - literally get a life. Whether the songs on BB are West Coast/Ride etc level is PURELY subjective and you really shouldn't care about the opinion of others. Let people enjoy things, this toxic behaviour reminds me of the hellhole that the Star Wars fandom is right now.

who fucking cares about charts just let us listen to the MUSIC.

This is hilariously condescending. Half of her albums aren’t even above 7/10 in your rankings. If half her output is that mediocre to you, frankly, l don’t consider YOU to be a true fan. A lot of us here genuinely do feel she’s putting out consistently great albums. Your experience with her music, your favorite songs - they don’t automatically apply to everyone else.

everybody's entitled to their own opinions, but it would be foolish to say that somebody's not a true fan because they like the album, or try to say that it's a flop or a bad album because of how well it's doing in the charts/streaming, honestly this might be my least-favorite ldr album at the moment  however, i can easily recognize & see that so many people love & adore this album, so many people feel a special & emotional connection to the songs from this album, and the album isn't doing that bad regarding charts/streaming, it seems like dealer is going a little viral on tiktok!  i would never say somebody is a "fake fan" or anything like that because they love the album just because i have issues with it, we all have unique opinions & tastes, which is the beauty of this forum, some people really love her past work, some people are really digging her recent albums, some people really love it all, and even if you strongly prefer her first few albums, that doesn't mean you still can't enjoy them, even if you aren't a big fan of her recent work, as we all know, my favorite era is the "lizzy grant" era, and obviously that era is a long time ago and it's still very vague & mysterious, and obviously lana's musical style is very different than it was in 2007-2010, but i can still enjoy the music, the aesthetic, & the songwriting, it's okay to not like something, but please be mindful of others who do, saying somebody is a "fake fan" because they enjoy the album doesn't make any sense

Negativity, mental illnesses and clownery entering the thread...
 

And you aren't reading enough into the album 
 
What @Sportscruiser wrote about Living Legend and Cherry Blossom is actually very beautiful and true to the themes of motherhood on the record, so there's no need to undermine other people's analysis and tell them to let go. This is a discussion forum for Lana's music, this is exactly where we should be reading deeply into the album. 

I think the lesson we can all learn here is that some people need to get a hobby that isn't obsessing over an artist and their numbers  I just find it so baffling that people care more about proving that an album is bad by pulling out streams than, I don't know, listening to the music you actually do like??

Again, no one says that you can't dislike the album, but you stated that people who love the album aren't true fans, which is obviously absurd lol. Clearly missing the point on why you caused a reaction in people...
 
Anyways 

Her legacy remains untouched

I don’t think anyone is challenging your opinion on the record (which you are absolutely entitled to). People are taking an issue with the fact that you invalidated people’s fan-ship based on THEIR personal opinion, that just so happens to be contrary to yours. Nobody has called you a “fake fan” because you dislike the record, so it’s seemingly fallible for you to suggest that people are “fake fans” because they do like it. 

Okay, in all honestly...
 
1. The album has been out for only 4 days 
2. It had the best debut of the week on Spotify and also 2 best debuting songs (IYLDWM and Dealer)
3. It holds the highest score of all time by users (9.7) on Metacritic 
4. The streaming numbers are actually good
5. The final sales have been penalized by delayed physical copies - which constitutes the 60% of Lana sales - so that's the only real and practical reason why she probably won't score #1
6. It's her second record in the same year and the 8th of her discography 
6. Who cares?
 
Do you know how many artists would KILL to have the results that Lana has today?  So, one point is to say "I don't like the album, along other fans" and another is to pretend that "it tanked because fans didn't enjoy it".
 
And aside from all that... I always think that some of you can't properly understand one fundamental thing about nowadays' Lana career. Lana is no longer just a singer. Lana is not just an artist. Lana has fully become a singer-songwriter, which means she will always make more personal and less radio-friendly music. Period. In fact, this was the first time that the album didn't have a "proper hit", a catchy song, which generally helps with charts. And you know why? Because BB is not that kind of album. Perhaps someday she will make something lighter for the GP again, but this is not today and that's fine, thank God for that! 

The year is 2091. Lana is already dead and the remaining fans will still cry about her not doing hip hop beats and Blue Jeans 2.0 from beyond the grave
