can someone explain why btd is getting so many streams? is it the tiktok croquettes?

It's a mixture of

- BTD's singles have always being kinda popular in general

- SS getting viral

- Lana getting more popular so some people are discovering her now so more fans streaming her (and casual listeners like her most accessible albums like BTD and NFR)

- BTD streams are counting the Paradise edition too so even if those tracks are getting the least streams (excluding Ride which is doing good) it's her longest album so more streams in total.

 

Pretty much, but I think right now it's because of Summertime Sadness, since it's labeled as "The Song Of The Summer"

i'm so disconnected but how did they not push the remix instead? have we as a society finally achieved the ability to appreciate ss as it is? i can't believe it

I personally cantt even care less about these tiktok kids nowadays start to act special from knowing her music (tho some of them do some clown shit) but at the end of the day homegirl is gettting her COINZ so i'm happy for her regardless

i get what you’re saying but it would be horribly out of place, i don’t feel like she should have to randomly add popular leaked tracks just for streams, her streams are already really great right now

 

i never intended it so she could get streams i know she's fine i just want the songs + more success for her... her albums are already doing the work for her due to her timelessness literally by the end of the year i bet she's gonna be in the top 3 most streamed female artists

if only this dumb bitch had JUST put Trash Magic on a 10th anniversary deluxe it would've been 100mil...

 

  Reveal hidden contents

imagine ALL the BTD unreleaseds... would've been about 1 billion 

 

 

think bigger: how about her releasing the whole A.K.A album with "Trash Magic", "Disco" & "Wayamaya" as bonus tracks

this album is a masterpiece, it’s as simple as that

[Blue Ink 5,904]

I am listening to BTD atm... haven't listened to the entire album in years. It makes me feel stuff.

Only worth living if somebody is loving you, baby now you do 

Baby luv me cuz i'm playing on the radioOo 

She says "you don't wanna be like me, don't wanna see all the things I've seen" 
...so why is my heart broke?? 

I even think I found God in the flash bulbs of the pretty cameras - am I glamorous, tell me am I glamorous?

Ellie Goulding doing a 10th anniversary edition for halcyon days….

 

i cannot believe Ben & Ed, the men behind this, future nostalgia moonlight ed,&  DL complete ed didn’t get us a btd 10th anniversary edition.. especially with how much they care about streaming numbers & achievements

We can still get it in November with the Paradise Edition  they vinyl doesn't need to be done to announce it but since it would probably overlap with LDR9 in the case that it happens the release date would be far.

The anniversary edition of Electra Heart was announced in April but was shipped like a week ago 

 

Either way, if nothing comes out it's 99% Lana not wanting to cause it would sell really well so I'm sure Interscope has at least asked her to do it
