It's more important that people keep streaming her songs, even the older ones. Her music is not made for short-term chart success, but for a long-term listening experience.

Lolita, Lucky Ones and Without You are almost my favorites songs from BTD deluxe

maybe not in the US, but it has been played here occasionally by some public radio stations

predicted for #31 more precisely https://x.com/chartlana/status/1812564294116249895

It may be a slightly unpopular opinion, but West Coast is my least favorite song on UV. The drums and guitar sound too heavy for me and should be reworked. The only other song I don't really like on that album is Sad Girl. It's beautiful in itself (especially the bridge), but somehow it develops too slowly and sounds a bit weak, or something else has to be changed, idk. All the other songs are almost perfect.

I was trying to write an article about Tough with perplexity.ai (uses ChatGPT), and the program somehow hallucinated that the song hit #3 on the Billboard Top 100 (and Top Ten in other countries) and that Chris Stapleton released a cover of the song on August 1.

Spotify listeners actually seem to have something like taste

here are some more descriptions of him: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3gw58wv4e9o

the bad thing is that the assassination attempt will overshadow the previous things, it comes just in time for him

I guess the motive was political. He likely also registered as a Republican for strategic reasons to prevent Trump in the primaries.

One thing that strikes me as a bit odd is how quickly the security reacted to the assassin, in the video it looks like they had him in their sights the whole time. https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-assassination-attempt-who-was-thomas-matthew-crooks-identfied-as-trump-shooter-3878235.html Also, it looks like Trump kept looking over at them just before the shooting, as if he was just waiting for something to happen.

I hope it wasn't staged so he could feel the effects of his gun policy first hand.

every song with repetitive lyrics could be reworked with a new verses

.

But perhaps it was necessary in order to get hold of larger collabs or certain producers. It could also become a more commercial album. Tough was then just a first step in that direction.

Could it be that she's releasing Lasso under Capitol Records? I wonder, as they seem to have something to do with Tough (they sell the vinyl single in their store), as it's not Quavo's label either. But it could also mean that Lana has less control over the album this time.

Cali is hot, New York was home

some single chart positions: [1] AUS: #40 GER: #38 NZL: #23 since LFL she has hardly been in the charts in these countries, only with SYTH and DCMA

the video had some nice ideas, but overall it's crap

From the way of her more or less regular "mandatory" postings, I think her social media presence, especially on Instagram, was or still is controlled by her label, as with most other artists (like she has to post one time a week or something). Just google "branding".
