Even Grimes/Marina/Azealia (who are flops btw) can get their new releases to #1 on their page, Lana couldn’t.

Is it ever that serious

[Eugene 26,672]

you can't expect much from a Xenoblade fan, their community itself sucks.

No, what's embarrassing is a Xenoblade stan trying to tell other people about charts but can't tell what has or hasn't released, who also compares an album with a large release to a single with no promo 

Ocean Blvd had multiple billboards and tons of playlistings. Literally over 70 million playlist reach. The most of any of her songs.

Ben payola’d Spotify pretty f*ck’n hard. Dua not with him anymore pushed him to do this. The management also paid a bunch of celebs to make Instagram stories promoting the song during release week.

 

I’m fuming because Venice Bitch, Doin Time, etc deserve. They did nothing for those songs.

it's funny considering those games don't even chart on best seller lists at all, speaking of charts

Something to distract you:

I made a list with all released Lana songs that are exactly 5 minutes long or longer. We have 30 songs so far which is a good amount & 3 of them are on the upcoming album & we haven't gotten the whole tracklist yet & all track lengths,  really curious how many I have to add to the list on March 10th

 

The list is in the spoiler & sorted from longest to "shortest". Cruel World already went from her second longest to her third longest & I'm wondering if there is another Tunnel song that is longer than Cruel World. I also made them a playlist & I can highly recommend to do that & listen to it. Her longest songs are truly masterpieces & by that logic Ocean Boulevard has to be a stunning album since we know there are several  5 & 6+ minutes songs

3. Cruel World 6:39

title track found stability at 300k daily. That is a LOT considering the minimal to zero promo it got

Thank you!!! And wow: 30 songs over 5 minutes?? No wonder I Stan that (Venice) Bitch!!! 

[SoftwareUpgrade 19,357]

Rooting for @Xenoblade 3 for shaking it (the convo) up

 

I just don't consider Lernuh to really be a "chart topper" but she always seems relevant to somebody with streams or sales , so that's a win for her imo

[Dark Angel 203,548]

if you're so invested into why ocean boulevard didn't show up at the top of her spotify page, it's likely because songs like summertime sadness, and young and beautiful will always have way more streams at any given time because they're known by the GP, casual listeners, etc. ocean boulevard may only be listened to by actual fans

 

it shouldn't matter if it only gets 500 streams a day, there's no reason to hate on her like this, she's in a great spot of her career, she has millions of fans, but also has the ability to do whatever she wants with her work, basically, not many artists can say that, she doesn't release garbage, soulless stream-grabs for tiktok, she hasn't gone towards a mainstream sound just to succeed on the charts, we should be happy about that everyday

You’re as good as your last album. Can we compare Blue Banisters numbers?

Blue Banisters was a different situation. The album had almost no promo, not a very appealing cover photo, a lot of unrecognized (first) singles and was released only some months after Chemtrails.

Now it looks like a lot more effort is being put into it. We also have a lot of collabs. If Lana and her team want to push an album up the charts, I think they could outdo Miley as well.

I am a devils advocate for being a hater, let them be critical !!! But I'll be critical back by saying that xenoblade COULD balance it out by saying something they do like about Lernuh every now n then, I'm curious?!? What era do they enjoy

Yeah and let’s not kid ourselves that a triple single release of singer-songwriter material about passed trauma, with subtle production, doesn’t scream « hit » to the GP 

[Deleted Member 23,729]

I just really don’t understand why people care about Lana’s charts at this point in her career. She has her money, she has her legacy, and charting isn’t and never has been a goal or priority of hers. Why are you looking to Lana for those things lol, go listen to like Ariana or something if the commercial performance of your favorite artists is that important to you

[Let the Light In 18,864]

Blue Banisters vinyls also shipped late and did not count as first week sale.
