Album title announcement maybe? The DNC decoding is upon us sisters. We will have our answers. We will have the truth in our hands.

i get being excited and so but some of y’all are definitely getting a little ahead of yourselves 

 

my expectations are very low, i’ll be happy with anything that doesn’t include her family and isn’t a stripped back ballad atp

 

And NO more youtube rips of 10 year old throwaways and 11 song tracklists pls

I hope we get at least 14 tracks even though I think we'll get 10-12 

Chemtrails had 11 (and she used 1 outtake) and BB had 15 but used 5-6...

Idk why but I have a strong feeling we get 13 tracks , maybe 14 tracks including one poetry style interlude ala Honeymoon 

[Venice Peach 54,376]

The way we got a date but I'm still going to manifest something every day at 9-12 Cali hour 

[Grenadine quarantine 2,593]

I feel like it’s inevitable she’s going to tour this album omg

[NikoGo 61,499]

I don’t know why but I’m thinking it’s going to be about 14/15 tracks, that’s about the average for her. COTCC is her shortest at 11 and LFL is her longest at 16. At the same time I’d be okay with 12/13 if they’re all super solid tracks

So if the pre order really drops next week I need to rob a bank until then

Oh god I didn't think about that...  I'm going bankrupt with Christmas + Lana vinyls

I'd rather have a lot of tracks, as on LFL. That way we're bound to get more good tracks on average, since, generally speaking, she does produce more good than weak tracks per album. I'm happy to always 'uncheck' or delete or move off tracks I really dislike. I do hope we get 'Crazy For You,' though I think it's unlikely if it is/was a HM outtake.

Unfortunately Lana is a seasoned act, she's well into the winter of her career.

 

I'm fully expecting more laid back/stripped back songs with Grant family and LA friends-centric lyricism. She's been in her folk-singer-songwriter era from 2019 onwards. 

 

I'm still excited at the prospect of new music, but I'm also being realistic--I've learned to manage my expectations. Like she's not going to release another gritty/raw blues-y-jazzy-rock fusion album like Ultraviolence or a dream/baroque pop album like Born to Die ever again... I think and I'm at peace with that.

Imagine her first week sales if she announces the album with at least 4 vinyl variants, CDs and cassеttes...

[CinnamonGay 10,527]

I'm expecting 200k minimum..given her current streams and popularity. 

Coming to outsell UV

There is little left for the million visits of this thread omgg 

[AW Pussy 4,899]

Usually in Lana's case it's either complete drought or heavy rainfall (in term of news). 

so I think we will have lots of new info on 7th.. like about an album, tour etc.

If the first single will be boring for her TikTok fanbase then she's not doing more than 100k

[syrup amour 2,954]

I honestly wouldn’t mind a piano ballad album, though I do hope for something new and more upbeat. I’ll be happy with anything.

 I'm pretty sure her label won't let her release a ballad as the lead this time around. Dua dropped TaP and given how little noise her previous 2 albums made because of 0 promotion,  they're going all out.

 

Brightsun did say "something big is coming "

After 'Wild At Heart,' 'Arcadia,' 'Violets For Roses,' and 'Black Bathing Suit,' all which, to me, harkened back to BTD, I think we can never quite guess what's coming next, though I think one or more albums of bangers is unlikely.
