As long as the albums are good I couldn't care less about the charts but I still want Lana to be successful and get that top spot 
 
At the end of the day longevity is more important than peaks tho... BTD never hit number 1 on the US and it's still charting 10 years later 

She'll get either #1 or #2 and neither are bad let's be fucking for real 

I think Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd will have good streaming numbers on par with NFR and even in the long-term, the single has been doing much better numbers than Dealer and Watercolor Eyes with 300k+ streams a day almost a month after it's release, and it's RISING again, having in mind it is a very long song and many on the album will be too, this is a strong indicator it will do well as a whole.
Plus it's her longest album ever and has 16 tracks which will result in more streams. 
Also her hype now is bigger than ever, she's getting 14 million+ streams a day (3rd most streamed female artist)
And if we rely on the insiders it's a QUALITY album and it won't surely go unnoticed with the critics and general public too.
The instrumentals will be richer on the album the lyrics also, as we saw on Ocean Blvd, the album really has everything in order to great in the long-term and I really hope it does!
And not to forget her managing team lost Dua Lipa and they will be focusing more on Lana and her promotion which we'll surely get with her second single and tracklist reveal, since her record label has changed and they are aware of her streaming power and charting (BTD on BB200) for sure.
 

I honestly feel like if there is going to be bigger promo for this album it’ll happen soonish with the release of the next single. I don’t really expect lana to do any big promo but her label definitely is aware of how well she’s doing in the streaming charts right now (especially BTD which is #65 on the billboard 200 right now) and will want to capitalize on it. 

This definition is great. I feel it too. This CD is going to be a lot like NFR in the sense of having tracks with very different vibes. 

I think it's doing even better than WCE and Dealer did in the start and those had big promo from Euphoria (WCE) and the tiktok/meme potential (Dealer). The title track had none of those things and it's still doing great 

True, and the title track is extremely stable on streaming right now and is one of her most instantly successful LP songs in years

Not gonna lie, the way they're gatekeeping the tracklist and avoiding it to leak and the subsequent theories and fake tracklist is one of the best parts of a pre-release album cycle, lol. But it's anxiety-inducing, indeed.

yes, but the album is way more longer than cotcc so that means more streams and also I think there will be at least one “dealer” that will get the tiktok stans

Also, in general, I think the album might be more successful than COCC & BB in the short term, however in the long term I think it might end up being her least streamed album weekly. I don't see how a bunch of 6-7 minute songs that seem to be very experimental will do all that well on streaming. Like clockwork, people will start dragging the album because of it 

The title track reminds me of Fine China, in its melancholy and sadness (clearly not for production now that we know we never heard the final mix ). With a bit of the honestly brutal lyrics of NFR (« don’t ask if I’m happy, you know that I’m not »/ « you fucked me so good that I almost said I love you » / « if you hold me without hurting me, you’ll be the first who ever did » ➡️ « open me up, tell me you’ll like it, fuck me to death, love me until I love myself ») 

Well, the revelations from this thread have made it to TikTok. This just showed up on my For You page lol x
 

I really hope we soon get a good bunch of Lust for Life outtakes to make a Side B album. Tbh LFL is one of my favourite Lana records and I would absolutely ADORE to get songs that were cut from it, considering some are said to be excellent  

Praying BOZ returns today. Also Eclipse is still slated to tell us their side of things today so I’m holding out until then 

@BlackoutZone Thanks, king, for everything 
I don’t think it was asked yet, but what can you say about Loved You Then and Now, apart from containing the « rock Candy sweet » line? And do you like it?
thanks you so so much!!!! ❤️

@BlackoutZonebump 

The first LFL outtakes are already coming out

Lana's unreleased tracks have a very complicated timeline... I don't think we know even half of her unreleased music. 

demo version

It's not the official version, but PlastiscGuy did a very nice edit.

I think if there are leaks of outtakes, I can survive without anything else until the album release. 

I will wait until June to organize my unreleased collection. I feel a wave of information and some leaks coming on.
