Maybe they didn't put them out. Online it said they had multiple copies in stock, but there were none to be seen out on the sales floor. I did a store pick up and they had no problem fulfilling that order. I would try doing it as store pick up if they notify you its ready for pickup, then you'll know they just were hiding them

Yeah I just ended up doing the online order, it won't be ready till Wednesday

Only copies sold/shipped within this week will count towards debut. Her label is sabotaging her by not preparing properly.

It's gonna flop hard because of the vinyl fuck up unless her streaming numbers are like, Taylor levels to compensate.

 

 

The great thing is that, if they really ship most of the vinyl at same time later, there's a chance she'll peak higher or repeak somewhere since Vinyl is her strongest metric.

i mean, it’s definitely not gonna flop 

i think just a handful of the amazon ones are delayed and that’s about it. they still have till like this thurs/fri to get them shipped.

They're shipping some, but it seems like only 1\3 of orders are going out this week. Physical locations like Target are having 6 copies on shelves.

HDD saying 115k? That's a huge slay, they probably aware of the vinyl situtation.

also physical locations really vary depending on city size etc, all three targets in my city had like, at least 20 each when i went friday morning 

[one time beauty queen 18,485]

stealing this idea from @The Siren <3

 

1. solid top tracks : Candy Necklace, Sweet, Let The Light In, Ocean Blvd, Fingertips

 

2. amazing songs that just missed my top favs: Kintsugi, Paris TX, The Grants

 

3. good songs but not ones i seek out as much: Grandfather, A&W, Taco Truck(pt I)

 

4.- no thank you: Margaret, Fishtail, Peppers, x VB ---- im not saying these are bad (except margarita she rly sucks actually), but rly not my jazz & i need to be in a v specific mood for them.

&Interludes(I get the point but one or two listens each is more than enough)

 

 

no one come for me the songs in the first 2 tiers are genuinely all 8.5-10s for me 

[rosemeadexclusivebbnewyorkcity 2,812]

Top 5 for now:

 

5. Paris, Texas

4. Fingertips

3. Peppers

2. A&W

1. Candy Necklace

You targets were a Slay then. There are many people complaining from big cities and almost nothing on the shelves. I don't think it's anything to bother; if they're really predicting over 100k opening week, having everything shipped on first week could mean her highest debut ever. It seems like factories couldn't keep up with demand and that's why they're delaying some shipping, but that's also good, preventing steep drops over charts.

 

 

Her power!

- did you know..

- a&w

- candy necklace

- paris, texas

- grandfather

- the grants 

- sweet

- peppers

- fishtail

- margaret

may have to skip on occasion

- kintsugi

- fingertips

 

i enjoy both interludes a lot and i think they add a lot to the vibe when listening to the tracks surrounding them, but i can’t see myself listening to either of them on their own, but a&w-jon’s interlude is def one of my fav runs on this album, love the atmosphere it gives off

I ordered the indie exclusive (from Urban Outfitters I think? lol) and it definitely hasn't shipped yet. That's why I'm going to Amoeba today to buy the original cover because I'm unhinged and can't wait to hear it on vinyl another day

[Terrence Loves Me 72,892]

Here's my ranking after 3 listens, it'll probably change though:

 

1. Kintsugi (first and only song on this album that made me cry, so far)

2. Grandfather (so cinematic)

3. A&W (This was great, as expected!)

4. Peppers (this is a great bop, i missed fun lana!)

5. Candy Necklace (haunting, but i did expect it to be better, i don't really know why it was described as being "massive" but okay

6. Tunnel (i like this one, especially the intro and strings)

7. The Grants (yep, good.. a grower though, like most of this album)

8. Fingertips (this will definitely grow on me over time)

9. Margaret (this was a pleasant surprise, doesn't sound like a lana song though)

10. Fishtail (sounds like a demo but still fun)

11. Taco Truck (ehh, i loved the first part but i don't really wanna hear venice bitch again)

12. Sweet (not as good as i was expecting but still cute)

13. Let the light in (not my type of sound, but i appreciate it)

14. Paris, Texas (a bit boring)
