despite it being her lowest, it was still a GREAT number, what was it, like 74k? there are main pop girls who can’t sell that first week.

 

74k records in the us alone is incredible for an album with almost no hype/promotion - especially when her only major headlines leading up to the album were about qftc and her mesh mask.

 

just because you don’t like where she’s taking her career doesn’t mean she’s driving it into the ground

For Lana, such sales are critically small. 75 thousand - that's how much Lana's name costs, without promotions and advertising.

Бесконечный поток: один на Chemtrails, два на NFR? 

 

 

NFR! was even very original in his piano ballads, as Lana had never dabbled in it before. But then Chemotrails followed, and now three BB singles and «My Body is Map of LA..». Chemtrails and new singles are not bad, but personally I'm a little tired of Lana's piano and high-pitched vocals.

Cocc was her lowest first week debut sales EVER like what’s your point LMAO

 

Excuse ?

It was pretty good during covid era.

 

Dua Lipa sold 66k.

Smile by KP sold 58k.

 

So pls pick on something else. 

 

Also COCC reportedly sold 98k by rolling stone first week. 

 

Skskks. NFR sold 104k. The same year Selena Gomez one of the most famous pop stars sold only <120k.

???? So? The piano is a part of the production. Go look up piano credits on BTD and see how many it has.

So ... Yes, chemtrails debuted at # 2 on the Billboard 200, but sales were only 75,000. In case you didn't know, this is its lowest. You are also correct that this is Lana's most successful year in terms of streaming, but this is largely due to her cult previous albums, and Chemtrails only showed 200 million streams in 4 months, which is a hell of a lot. I'm not saying Chemtrails is a bad album, but many listeners are already tired of the endless stream of piano ballads and indie folk. Thank you for your attention!

Because time changes and sales are still in decline. Justin released Justice at the same day like Lana and his sales were his lowest too- 154‘000. Lana doing the half of that is pretty amazing for an alternative artist. 
 

And btw I really like how you articulate your posts, this is so much better than „She is destroying her career“ or „she‘s only releasing piano flops“. 
 

Edit: ok I take it back after your „defeated and destroyed“ post

Would u agree 58k is ok for KP? The biggest pop star 5 years back?

 

Ur logic doesnt match.

 

Lana has stayed relevant for more than a decade and she is a long burner artist. 

 

People repeatedly go back to her music. It's not like a trendy music where u listen once ,twerk to ir. Dance in the club and forget about it.

Потому что время меняется, а продажи все еще падают. Джастин выпустил «Джастин» в тот же день, что и Лана, и его продажи тоже были самыми низкими - 154'000. Лана, выполняющая половину этого, довольно удивительно для альтернативного артиста. 
 

И, кстати, мне очень нравится, как вы формулируете свои посты, это намного лучше, чем «Она разрушает свою карьеру» или «Она выпускает только пианино». 
 

Изменить: хорошо, я заберу это после вашего сообщения «побежден и уничтожен» 

Justice, if I'm not mistaken, is still on the Billboard 200, and Lana only stayed there for 4 weeks. But you are right, for an alternative (rather indie-folk) artist this is very good sales.
