    lana's desire to promote her own work in a "normal" way (ie album rollouts in line w current marketing trends) was extremely affected by the media slander of BTD's release and then all but destroyed during QFTC. imo her lack of traditional promo over the past 2 records is a huge fuck you to the media, which she's long disliked, and she is doing it her way now, aka putting all her energy into making the music and letting the rest go by the wayside. i think she continues to carry a lot of pain and hurt over her experience with being perceived by the public/media so differently from her self-perception/intention.
     
    i do think this era will be her first big promo era since NFR but that she will prob remain ambivalent about promo for the rest of her career. and that is fine! i love interviews/photoshoots/IG posts etc but she's absolutely right in knowing that people will consume the music regardless of how much time/energy she puts into promo, and that it's a losing game to try and control her public perception so why bother. she also knows that the music and the promo have nothing to do with each other– one is art-making, the other is business– and she doesn't need to worry about $ and accruing new fans prob ever again. not promoting her new work has nothing to do with how she feels about the music or her fans imo, as she is aware that promotion is mostly a game of trying to control public perception which has only ever been a losing game for her (with the exception of the fawning reception of NFR maybe, and which she then effectively killed with QFTC).

  5. theworldspins liked a post in a topic by Deleted Member in Lana on the charts and sales - Overall discussion   
    why do y’all care about charts OR sales at all… charts are not and never have been in her top 100 priorities and she is a millionaire, if she sells 5 copies of the album she’ll be fine  it’s so funny watching obvious stans of the big pop girls who actually do care about that stuff projecting that same thing onto lana

    all of the gay GenZ twinks people here are used to the pop machine that delivers products with specific datelines, and Lana has been able to circumvent most of that as long as she does the bare minimum of what her label/management needs from her. If the people that have been a fan of hers since UV are STILL looking for conventional release dates from Lana, they should wear a clown nose to compliment that feeling
     
     
    some people take it too hard because numbers and statistics are a mental hobby; good statistics are used to compliment whether or not something is inherently good, and people use it as solid evidence that said thing (movie, music, sports team, consumer electronics, etc.) is worth something, even if its not. 
    People like to argue about high chart positions because it validates the music they listen to. 
     
    just as heterosexuals like to argue about sport scores, homosexuals argue about music chart position 
    Just as someone doesn't care about how many #1's or Grammys Rihanna has, I don't care about how many home runs or championship rings Tom Brady has. Its all subjective
