80k sounds about right. Maybe she can get it to 100k to match her last two releases.

I called my dad to tell him the album is out. “Hey dad! Lana’s album is out so you can listen to it on your Spotify.” “Oh great! What’s it called?” “I-...”

i'd honestly expect more because of the ridiculous amount of physical release versions she's done this era but i also do not understand numbers at all

I love the "NFR!" stylization 

Do you think Lizzy knew she’d be up there one day? I can only imagine what Lana’s thinking now if she’s seen it...! <3

I wish she would make a book about where exactly she was when she wrote these songs and an in depth specific analysis of each song.

Any British stans see the NFR ad on TV yet? I saw it just now

[SparkleJumpropeNoose 8,750]

NFR really is about to outsell BTD huh

Last album she did 103,000 which was 80,000 physical, 2,500 from single song sales and 21,000 from streams.

 

Hopefully she can reach 100,000 again, dropping 20,000 would be a bad feeling for her since this is arguably her best album.

No

Finally listening to the album...

[Flowerbomb 65,594]

 

No

 

I was shook, I didn't think the promo would go that far

[Barry 5,952]

Have album sales on the whole went down a lot in recent years again?

 

Just noticed Taylor Swift "only" sold 700,000 albums when her last one sold over 1.2million so she lost 500,000 album sales in like 2? years

[Homogenic 1,148]

Final thoughts after spending time with NFR: Genuinely my favorite Lana project since UV. I never thought I would be able to say that again not that I didn't have faith in our girl, HM and L4L didn't resonate lyrically or sonically in the way that her first 3 studio works did. But honestly, I'm beyond impressed with just about everything this era apart from the radio silence regarding the release. From visuals to lyrics to production, it was well worth the wait for me.

 

Top tier: Cinnamon Girl, Love Song, California, NFR, FIILY, VB

 

Mid tier: Doin Time, HIAB, The Greatest, MAC, Hope, BAR, (Honestly if she kept the og lyrics, it would've been top tier as the demo is one of my fave songs)

 

Low tier: Bartender, How to Disappear (and I still love both of them tbh!)

Omg her instagram

[Wynwood 19,967]

just thinking about how much of a mess we were in november LMAO

[Beautiful Loser 49,096]

My brother said he’d listen to NFR! since it got such a high score on metacritic! I’ve caught him playing Million Dollar Man before so I hope he’ll like the album too!

[Fingertips 72,051]

We're really getting videos for every song HUH

[gatadelrey 4,617]

I love that video. She’s so cute

[UltraHeroin 8,803]

Omg NFR video!!!

[Rico25 7,895]

Very confused about this video posted on IGTV

So NFR is part of the 3-part video along with HIAB. Could it be 3 clips in a medley-like video?
