Has anything happened in the past 30 pages beyond Bennifer getting upset 

no and don't let anyone tell you otherwise

[Taco Truck x VB 3,595]

i don’t get why people are mad about insiders spilling about the album.. you chose to click on the spoilers.. you chose to lurk a thread that is probably gonna have news.. and let’s face it, you’d complain about being bored if nobody said anything..

Her single covers scare me. Sometimes they’re cute like hbtb, love and so on. But then there’s ones like the bb trio (rip Lana’s Picsart era). Maybe we’ll get a random plant like VB

the single cover for terrence loves you is forever my fave ♡

i just saw how rihanna is re-releasing colored vinyls for her discography and it made me think that with all the people dropping new music in the upcoming months, it makes sense that lana pushed ocean blvd release date back since popular artists are putting out vinyls around the same time

pls she’s barely gonna make top 5 this time 

 

some republican country singer releases the same day and we know how much streams and sales they pull *cough cough*, pink floyd re-release a 50th anniversary DSOTM boxsets, which will pull a ton of physical sales, same for rihanna’s vinyls + her rumored album next week, miley will obviously be a threat now thanks to her fraud hit, taylor and sza will still be in the top 5/top 10… and that’s not counting any surprise releases by a rapper between now and end of march 

 

[littleredpartydress 49,871]

I don’t get why people are so hung up on the chart debut position  

 

even if bigger artists are releasing around the same time, she will still sell roughly the same amount? There’s no real difference if she sells 70k and debuts at #5 during a highly competitive week or #1 during a dead week. The album still generates the same revenue from those sales and streams?

 

it’s not like she’s a struggling artist that needs strong figures to back up her standing with her label.

Imo, chart position doesn’t matter, but sales do.

 

I hope she pulls 60k on the lower end, 75k on the higher end. I don’t care where she debuts on the chart, as long as her sales aren’t abysmal like Blue Banisters.

[esotericfaerie 793]

i wasn’t referring to charts btw. i brought up other artists releasing vinyls because it’s relevant to why lana could have pushed her date back. there is limited production for vinyls available due to the limited amount of pressing plants that make all the vinyls for the industry. lana said herself that she can’t just do a digital release even if she wanted to, she has to release physicals at the same time. if a lot of artists are requesting vinyls, then that will affect distribution dates 

[Jeanne Dielman 5,982]

@Kintsugi Would you mind sharing with us your top 5 tracks from the album?

Lana is such an enigma - she has this intense passion for creating music, but when it comes to the process of putting it out into the world, she seems to care very little. it's even bordered on trolling at times, especially with the BB trio artwork. I have zero expectations for her in terms of rolling out music in a meaningful way. to be a Lana fan now is simply to listen to the music, whenever it arrives. expect anything else and you're priming yourself for disappointment

all of the gay GenZ twinks people here are used to the pop machine that delivers products with specific datelines, and Lana has been able to circumvent most of that as long as she does the bare minimum of what her label/management needs from her. If the people that have been a fan of hers since UV are STILL looking for conventional release dates from Lana, they should wear a clown nose to compliment that feeling

some people take it too hard because numbers and statistics are a mental hobby; good statistics are used to compliment whether or not something is inherently good, and people use it as solid evidence that said thing (movie, music, sports team, consumer electronics, etc.) is worth something, even if its not. 

People like to argue about high chart positions because it validates the music they listen to. 

 

just as heterosexuals like to argue about sport scores, homosexuals argue about music chart position 

Just as someone doesn't care about how many #1's or Grammys Rihanna has, I don't care about how many home runs or championship rings Tom Brady has. Its all subjective
