Blue Banisters - Pre-Release Thread: OUT October 22nd, 2021

[Super Movie 51,690]

Blue Banisters really is the perfect title track for this album. Either that or Wildflower Wildfire would have to be the title track, I don't think any of the other songs would have encapsulated the theme of the album so well

I wonder what Lana's first week sales are gonna look like. even without direct promo from her, I think she'll do well.

without gp hype (or much knowledge of the album), no vinyls and no lana it’ll sure be BAD bad 

 

but we don’t care cause what the album got, we’ve got to share 

[lanasbottom 23,694]

in other words leak the damn album NOW

it’ll do bad chart wise but it could still do well sales wise, acclaim wise AND definitely better than cocc streaming wise

because they aren’t send on first week release and thus won’t count because of billboards dumb new rule 

[mlittle11 12,214]

i think this is album is going to be a classic and fan favorite but probably wont have great charting potential due to just about 0 promotion 

[Super Movie 51,690]

Blue Banisters is gonna be a critical darling and future cult-classic album, quote me in 10 years 

[Neohumanist 330]

However it’s very sad that BB will be her first album to debut out of the top 3

From what it looks like, Lana has a very strong possibility of dominating the number one spot next week. The only "power house" she has going against her is Elton John because of the collaborations he has with artists coming out next week. With enough promo (which is non existent) Lana could easily get a #1 album. Chemtrails had close to 0 promotion and came in at 2nd only because JB surprised released. If Lana can get a number one with this album with no promo... she will solidify her name MORE as an artist that cannot be stopped. 

[Lustrouslines 5,202]

It frightens me though. If this album doesn't do well on the charts/sales what does that mean for her reputation with her label? The only reason they allow Lana to chill is because she continues to dominate, but this era she has completely gone MIA therefore resulting in probably her worst chart debut yet.

I hope vinyl sales in the UK break a record again.

Well Drake is still doing around 100k even though his album came out over a month ago. She needs around 40k to even make the top 10 right now. COCC did 75k with vinyl which accounted for around 30K sales. Let’s just hope she makes the top 10.

we said that about chemtrails and she broke records. Her chart performance obviously isn’t going to be stellar, but I absolutely believe her sales are fantastic. She has a very loyal base and they wouldn’t shell out money for countless vinyl variations if they thought it wasn’t going to sell

[DCooper 36,916]

I don't understand why they can't just ship vinyls one day earlier so they're a part of first week sales 

[IanadeIrey 62,021]

Born to Die and Paradise were Lana taking her experiences and spinning them into these evocative and enhanced visions of the reality she once knew.

 

Lust for Life was Lana subverting that reality and challenging the moral foundations upon which she operates, marking a transition. 

 

Norman Fucking Rockwell! and Chemtrails Over the Country Club were sabbaticals that showed a day-in-the-life of Lana and consolidated her creative vision.

 

Ultraviolence, Honeymoon, and Blue Banisters are the complex and intricate autobiographical recounts that are the fruit of Lana's labour. These three records are where the heavy lifting of turning all the way inward happens – and yields the most rewards.

(8 days, 9 hours, and 23 minutes!)

It’s probably because this is her last record with Interscope and so they are not pushing her to promote it. I think she’s in for a shock if she gets a new deal and she’s required to actually do more then just make the music.
