I remember the first prediction for Norman’s debut was around 70k. Then 80-85. End up with 104k. We’ll see. 

Just letting you guys know that prediction about 20k streams alone isn’t reliable at all it’s from a Stan twitter account ? we need to wait for HDD predictions

She didn't promote the album at all and the lyrical themes include her being tired of the fame and wanting to go back to the days where she can be wild and make music for little to nothing

 

What's the big deal?

Exactly.

Legends of music are not legends because they sold 300 million records and were always number 1.  Joni Mitchell, Bjork, Fiona Apple...examples.  Real talent survives the test of time. Is anyone gonna be listening and appreciating any of Justin Bieber's albums in 20 years time? I seriously doubt it. For him his whole career hangs on the balance of number 1s and selling albums. Lana has the privilege of not needing to do that to stay relevant.

This is what happens when you don’t promote an album and fail to explain yourself after several controversies. At least the music’s good but I can’t say I’m not sad.

Please calm down everyone let’s wait until HDD reports I’m expecting atleast 90k and she definitely will get #1 in the UK she’s doing great there.

[ChaoticLipster 24,618]

The album also leaked so it will affect streams severely

[Beautiful Loser 48,819]

I don't think she's doing terribly. Critics seem to love the album and praises her voice and songwriting, it's evident that her managers and Polydor's co-CEO are proud of her and her work, stans buy several copies of her album. I've only seen one or two fans say they'll leave the fandom because Norman and Chemtrails weren't what they were hoping for, most people seem to really like it. And like @WildMustang said, this record isn't exactly made to be commercially successful, it doesn't have Doin' Time like Norman had, no fun summer bops. The closest to that would be Tulsa in my opinion (and I hope to hear it on radio soon, but I don't expect to it to happen). She hasn't promoted the album really, and neither has Universal. They know her fans will know, because we're always hungry for more. Isn't Chemtrails like #1 on iTunes in several countries? She's doing great for an album with almost no promotion at all.

I'm proud of her. This is a solid album and I worried for a long, long time that it wouldn't live up to Norman since I loved it so much. There's a little bit of Lizzy in there, a little bit of Born To Die in the way she sings in DTWD, and she still manages to put who she is today into this work as well.

Why are you expecting 90k ??? i can’t

[Fingertips 72,034]

I'm glad she's slowly shedding away the people who use her commercial success to live vicariously for some silly stan war honestly

Bc due to the scandals idk... maybe the pure sales will shock us and they be better than Norman... in the UK atleast the preorders helped... now hopefully she gets 100k pure sales I bought 10 copies of this albums all the exclusives not for my girl to flop

We also all buy ridiculous amounts or merch so even if the album sales are not incredible we are still keeping everyone rich lol

[LustForDelRey 592]

I just realized that Stan account is only accounting for Spotify streams ??‍♂️ theres no way they can see the first day Apple Music streams

Not when NFR reached 1 billion streams on Spotify in only two years.

Anyways, I think this is my favorite Lana album so far. The way it hits me is indescribable. Every time I listen to it, it gets better. So many things to discover all over again. The production is insane too. My God, I feel so blessed to stan this woman. 
 

It does make me feel like a God.
