It didn't. SS was 6, High by the Beach like 56. You misread.

It’s a reflection of how many Taylor stans and Taylana stans there are rather than song quality; their friendship is magic

Summertime Sadness has actually never charted. Idk why people keep saying that. Only the remix charted. It literally officially credited as such.

I mean yeah I think we all pretty much know that 

[Embach 42,323]

I hate that Summertime Sadness remix charted, a blasphemy.

 

Still happy for Tough.

still bopping to this

I wouldn't go so far...  She's had thee chart entries this year at spots 4, 33 and 54.

 

But she's had 13 songs chart during the 2010s, including spots 6, 13, 17, and 22. She'd need to score another 11 chart entries this decade to beat her 2010s streak, which I doubt would happen. First, she's getting older and we all know America hates that. (Sorry, .Americans, but you know this is true). Everyone on that chart is in their 20s and 30s.

 

More importantly, she's far more interested in producing dark ballads than any Billboard chart friendly hits. So, her 2010s will always be strongest. 

 

 

Does it matter though?

It's more important that people keep streaming her songs, even the older ones. Her music is not made for short-term chart success, but for a long-term listening experience.

Not much. Was only correcting the other user.

 

The only people who would consider this relevant are those who want to see LDR be respected in a commercial sense as an artist. I personally get a kick out of it. I love that Tough is charting, and I love hearing her on the radio. 

 

But I completely understand that most of you couldn't care less about this.

 

But I think LFL is a better album than NFR just because it charted in America? Fuck no. For me, her art and her more bopp-y stuff can and should go hand in hand. But she's had three hits this decade already (Snow, Tough, Heaven), and I'm beaming.

Well, yes. But I’m going to need you stop grouping “Snow” and “Angel” with those songs. They are not real hits . The chart peaks for those two songs are fraudulent.

 

And Summertime Sadness did NOT chart.

 

Wow. I couldn't disagree with you more.

 

The whole planet was talking about Snow when it came out. Every gay Tom, Dick and Harry. It surged to number 4 - the highest entry for LDR ever. It stayed on Billboard for 8 weeks. The record it was on won a Grammy for Best Album of the Year. The top billed artist is the most popular musician on Earth. There were millions of reshares, reels, memes etc about the collab. It broke the record for a collab on Spotify.

 

What do you even mean by "they're not real hits?"

 

I get that you (obviously) don't like  the song, but saying "It's not a real hit" is just bizarre. I assure you plenty of little girls around America and the world have listened to the song on this, the most streamed album of the year (streamed 4.86 billion times in 2023).

I think charts have become less important since the streaming age. It used to be important how many records you sold, people bought them and could listen to forever. Now it's how many streams you have per day that counts, and even with music that's not in the charts, you can make a lot of money. I think she now has more than 25 million streams a day on Spotify, which is more than a lot of other big artists have, who had big chart hits but people lost interest soon after.

Oh for sure. Lana is one of the most consistent artists ever and that's her advantage. Not only she has dropped 11 albums (counting Violet and Paradise) in 14 years, but she's also had 16 songs chart in America, which is more than 1 per year. So while she doesn't have huge songs like Katy Perry, she also has dozens of songs more that get steady streaming. After Lasso, this situation should be even more impressive. Especially when you release that other female artists like Adele have had half the output in the same period.

 

Not to mention that Lana's music feels classic, and Video Games and other songs will still be listened to years down the line in the same way Billie Holiday still is, or Dolly Parton.

Tough is hanging tough. 
It just entered top 50 on US iTunes Store.

 

Katys dropped a lot.

All this debate on whether or not Snow On the Beach, Summertime Sadness (remix or original) and don’t call me angel are hits 

 

it doesn’t really matter doesn’t really really matter 

 

the snow song has over 500 million streams combined streams on Spotify alone, summertime like 1.5b for the album version and 600mil for the remix, and don’t call me angel has like 300mil and will always get brought up in disappointing collabs so while it wasn’t a hit- it will never be forgotten.

Yeah, I'd say 500 million in a year is a hit all right, especially when summertime took 10+ years to garner 1.5b. As for Angel, Miley and Grande are huge and that song will have steady play for years, based on star power alone, especially the youtube video.

i cringe a bit every time I hear that xD .. am I the only one ?
