I genuinely think Tropico is a curse. Her streaming power vanished after that. Her cinematic videos also faded away with it too. She started to get fat around that time too.

Yes on Spotify. And yes for TLY too. Even if High didn't exist, TLY is still good for her considering she needed a whole year to reach 7 - 10 million views for UV tracks. Her streaming power was HUGE at around 2011. VG, BTD had massive views. Remember them views weren't as big as now. BTD video in particular had an insane amount views in a short time. It had 25 millions by the time album was released in 2012. Back then it was pretty huge like Katy Perry, Taylor huge. It went downhill ever since tropico. Then UV came around and it took a massive hit. I have no idea why. Bizarre and unfortunate that the charts now include streaming. All of BTD would have charted based on streaming alone.

This album will be her most successful commercially for sure. Her streaming power has somewhat returned this era. HBTB has almost 17 millions views and has stayed on the charts for more than three weeks. (A new record for her) But it will be panned critically. Probably lower than Born To Die. Music To Watch Boys To will probably have even more views due to the male models.

Me too.

UV was only on pre orders for two weeks of course it will stay higher and HBTB prediction has nothing to do this. I "believed" what I saw and here too. I minitored the charts. Honeymoon first day: Album: Honeymoon (Pre-Order) #1 United States (+1) #1 Argentina (+2) #1 Azerbaijan (=) #1 Bolivia (NE) #1 Brazil (+3) #1 Bulgaria (=) #1 Canada (+3) #1 Chile (+1) #1 Cyprus (NE) #1 Estonia (NE) #1 France (+1) #1 Greece (+6) #1 Honduras (+13) #1 Israel (+20) #1 Italy (=) #1 Lithuania (=) #1 Malta (NE) #1 Paraguay (NE) #1 Poland (+39) #1 Portugal (+9) #1 Romania (=) #1 Slovakia (=) #1 Spain (=) #1 Trinidad and Tobago (NE) #1 Turkey (+11) #1 Ukraine (NE) #1 Vietnam (NE) #2 Costa Rica (+1) #2 Czech Republic (NE) #2 Ireland (+2) #2 Mexico (+2) #2 New Zealand (=) #2 Singapore (=) #2 Slovenia (+50) #2 Sweden (+1) #2 Thailand (NE) #3 United Kingdom (+3) #3 Australia (+3) #3 Colombia (+186) #3 Hong Kong (NE) #3 Malaysia (NE) #3 Philippines (-1) #4 Belgium (+7) #4 Denmark (+2) #4 Finland (+5) #4 Luxembourg (-1) #4 Norway (=) #4 South Africa (=) #5 Netherlands (+4) #5 Russia (NE) #7 El Salvador (+32) #7 Germany (+5) #8 Switzerland (=) #13 Indonesia (+12) #15 Austria (NE) #26 Latvia (+81) #37 Dominican Republic (NE) #41 Taiwan (NE) #90 Kazakhstan (NE) #136 Panama #191 Guatemala

Honeymoon pre order is available for more than two weeks NOW and today is Friday with new releases. UV did not do any better with pre orders. It seems that some people create a "false reality" in their head because they love the album. Is this how Lana feel about "BTD" she creates a "false reality" in her head about the era being horrible commercially because critics panned it so much?

She really needs to promote. A lot fans have been saying this but nothing has happened. We can only wish and dream that she would one day dress "well" again (glamorously and actually cares of how she looks instead of dressing like a soccer mom every time there's a new pic of her). Go on stage and perform her new songs and talk passionately about it on various televised programs. Do funny skits on live TV plus do cameos in various TV shows. Go on an international promo campaign visiting various radio stations ACROSS the globe and give interviews about the album as well as do live radio performances. Do a mini concert series all over the GLOBE just for the launch of the album not full tour just mini concerts. Have a listening party where fans are invited to listen to the album in advance before release date across the globe to regenerate more hype. This is how most artists launch their album. Lana just have a YouTube upload and call it a day.

The critics really have absolutely no clue what they are talking bout. "Radio Friendly Born To Die" yikes. Them acting like BTD is a Katy Perry record is embarrassing.

I seriously wonder how Lana lets things get pass sometimes. I am as a fan can look at her previous videos and compare them to her recent ones and you can really see OBJECTIVELY that there's a DECLINE. I really wonder if Lana is aware of that. Does she even look BACK at her BTD era videos? Maybe the backlash of the era (critically) has really deeply affected her to a point that it changed her perception how things really were that era. We may never know.

She needs to bring this type of visual to her albums and music videos. It doesn't have to be this "dark" but just as striking. Her visuals have been very pedestrian since the start of Ultraviolence era. Quite honestly, the video for HBTB turned me off the song (the video is not bad but just not striking enough). And most of the UV videos were just really bad. Her sense of style also gone down the drain as well, the tour outfits were quite horrendous. I don't want to be "negative" but it is what it is. She used to have great style and an iconic feel to her look Not just in her music but her whole image. That's all lost and fading away. She has become rather "basic" now. The album cover of Honeymoon is another example. It's like she's loosing her focus or something. I hope she pulls through. I hope honeymoon is not her art pop.

We are getting Music To Watch Boys To.

Terrence leaked the same way tho. Her management is really clueless.

I picture Lana as a 50s/70s housewife like the BTD cover and Honeymoon cover that sort of retro styling. Gazing at the boys playing various sports while fingering herself. She'll be breaking the vevo record.

This is a promo single (new track) not "A single" you gotta know the proper label.

Yikes.

And Honeymoon might just be the next official single. (After High) Because of the promo cd (for radio stations).

It's just a promotional single with the pre order. We still don't know when the video is coming. I think she will release the Honeymoon video first.

The V shoot is so striking and gorgeous. Really wishing the album visuals were like that.

Well, it won't happen this time so no worries as it's out September 18th everywhere.

No, some guy from Austria bought the album. And Plant9 leaked Paradise.

Lowery wishing this is the album shoot and cover. Dark twisted Honeymoon.

I know that. Those were just preview snippets from OFFICIAL sources NOT really a leak. Besides, that was a different time with no Global release date. Snippets "leak" on Instagram, really? How can anyone believe that? Ultraviolence did not leak. Paradise did not leak either. All of them were officially released in some part of the world then were uploaded on the Internet. This time is not the same. There's only one release date.

The global release date will prevent the album form leaking. I don't know why some people here are so naive to believe the "lyrics" and "snippets". There's no way in hell anyone can get anything THAT early. The China Palace instagram account is complete bull feces crap shit dung waste products. How can anyone believe "it" is beyond me.

Well it is not really a big push. They just added it to playiga lmaoWhy can't they just payola radio already like that Ashley girl with "New Americano" Lana has more than enough money.
