no cause what actually happened 😭😭 is this just due to leaks or something else

Haven’t listened to leaks… 

I’ll only speak for myself but A&W, as much as I love it, is very dark lyrically and in its production. When I listen to it a couple of times in a row, I have to take a break (especially with the end of winter seasonal depression ). Venice Bitch was « easier » to listen to for me (I could easily put it on repeat for a whole hour or two). It will be easier to « digest » A&W with the rest of the album.

It is unfortunate that Lana hasn’t had a streaming hit since NFR. Either QFTC did indeed do damage with the general public or she just hasn’t released something as consumable as the NFR songs.

a&w literally broke her own record of highest streaming day on one song of hers  and honestly i see more people from the fandom doing "funny" posts and reminding people about the qftc than the ones who don't listen to her in general

And also, @cinnamongirI made a great point that 

  Hide contents

this album really isn't sexy at all, and it actually is a pretty weird word to describe an album about such heavy and personal topics and about her FAMILY. The only truly "sexy" song on the album seems to be Peppers and Taco Truck, and even those two are riddled with her personal struggles with fame. It's very INTIMATE. Not sexy

 

Spoiler

I’ll take intimate songs any time from her! Anyways, even all of her « sexy songs » always have this clever edge that I do love so so much.

The GP doesn't remember QFTC 

 

Her songs have been going viral on TikTok which is the one place that actually sometimes brings up her problematic bits and clearly even they don't care.

A&W just isn't a song that's built for being a hit (however it's done very well) - it's 7 minutes and it's essentially two songs in one. In fact the bit that's popular on TikTok is from the Jimmy section

none of the NFR singles were really that successful DURING the NFR era though, most of them have blown up due to tiktok in the last few years, after QFTC. 

 

a&w got over 1 million streams for over 2 weeks, and easily performed the best out of any single shes released in the last 4 years upon release.

 

saying this is pretty reactionary due to it having 2 bad streaming days 3 weeks after it was released when absolutely nothing has been done to sustain its popularity.

Need to stop listening to Fingertips so it can get all the streams it deserves when released

I genuinely don’t think anyone cares about QFTC. It’s simply that the music of the past 2 eras was less captivating to the GP. Dealer was a bit of a streaming/viral hit for her which makes sense considering it’s the most dynamic thing she put out during that era.

It's a heavy seven minute long track where she sings about even heavier topics all over an angry acoustic guitar.

The album isn’t out yet  And considering that the two singles had zero promo, they are doing pretty good. 
Blue Banisters might not be considered a « hit », but it got to 400 Million streams pretty fast (3rd fastest album from her to achieve this milestone) 

[SalvaWHORE 34,006]

Mind y'all that Lana is 1 of 6 ONLY FEMALE ARTISTS who already surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify in 2023 within only first 2months : Can u imagine there are Taylor Swift, Miley, Shakira, Rihanna, SZA & Lana is standing alongside with them?

 

Trust the process.

I would mainly blame Karol G, who is currently dominating the charts with her new album and there are also a lot of other female artists charting high now.

i very much doubt karol G and lana have the same audience 

 

 other people charting doesn’t take streams away either,  that’s not how streaming works

Yes but she was also a streaming force during Blue Banisters and she debuted with 33k sales 😭 I know this era isn’t Blue Banisters, but there’s a disconnect between those who stream her old and new catalogue.

 

Anyways, still hopeful for a redeemable first week.
