But the gap is not big. Probably the order of songs plays a role, not everyone listens the album to the end.

Spotify streams from day 2 after the album release. So which new songs make the running? (* released earlier this year) 1. Blue Banisters* 11.095.791 2. Arcadia* 8.944.744 3. Text Book* 8.357.880 4. Wildflower Wildfire* 7.093.912 5. If You Lie Down With Me 1.026.846 6. Dealer 655.407 7. Black Bathing Suit 610.473 8. Thunder 554.321 9. Interlude - The Trio 491.436 10. Beautiful 482.539 11. Violets For Roses 466.017 12. Nectar of the Gods 400.437 13. Living Legend 400.412 14. Cherry Blossom 392.869 15. Sweet Carolina 366.860 IYLDWM was promoted on some "new music" lists I think, so it got a special boost.

I think this was more of a joke, because the vinyl production took so long.

Someone on ig said it could be the californian politician Kevin McCarthy , but I don't know how much is behind it.

I like to think so, since she's in her folk phase right now. And her work is full of such references that we may not have uncovered all yet.

Some more photos and a short video of the aircraft-towed banner and another video

A German radio station for young people is going to play it this evening. It's a bit surprising, but I like it. https://www.sputnik.de/sendungen/firstplay-100.html

do u have some examples?

or "mommy" in cherry blossom. Right after the comment, she sang the song.

The live chat was cool, I had to watch the entire recorded version on honeymoon_archives this morning. She was so talkative and funny!

#justice4beautiful *g* 1. Text Book 16 2. Blue Banisters 15 3. Arcadia 15 5. Black Bathing Suit 21 6. If You Lie Down With Me 18 7. Beautiful 14 8. Violets for Roses 16 9. Dealer 16 10. Thunder 17 11. Wildflower Wildfire 17 12. Nectar of the Gods 16 13. Living Legend 16 14. Cherry Blossom 13 15. Sweet Carolina 14

and who is the "good", the "bad" and the "ugly"? Interesting, because the number 3 plays an important role in this album. Three women in the blue banisters video, three humans/pets on front and back cover, three singles dropped at the beginning ...

No way! It's about wildness like the song before, it's about the color blue like other songs, and from the instruments and the mood it fits very well.

At least here she can be seen in the ice cream truck: https://www.nme.com/news/music/lana-del-rey-promote-norman-fucking-rockwell-ice-cream-truck-2543379

I still think he did a good job. But his music is more pleasing to critics and not so much to fans. I'm on both sides.

for me it is a bit more complex, in general four parts, but with transitions: PART 1 1. Text Book 2. Blue Banisters 3. Arcadia 4. Interlude PART 2 5. Black Bathing Suit 6. If You Lie Down With Me 7. Beautiful 8. Violet For Roses PART 3 9. Dealer 10. Thunder 11. Wildflower Wildfire 12. Nectar of the Gods PART 4 13. Living Legend 14. Cherry Blossom 15. Sweet Carolina (By the way I found out, WW sounds better for me when played directly after IYLDWM)

I guess she did this also, so that reviewers can reference some unreleased songs.

Here's another real good review in german: https://www.laut.de/Lana-Del-Rey/Alben/Blue-Banisters-117127 It shows how difficult it is to review this album because there are so many aspects to consider. But this review manages to do it, and I think it's very accurate.

actually 27 with Secret Life, and we get Riverside and a Cover album

The Spotify version was not as good as the leaked one at first, but I found out you can adjust it up to 320kbit/s in Premium: https://support.spotify.com/us/article/audio-quality/ Now it sounds better.
