If you were in charge of LDR Essentials on iTunes?

[barttttender 4,452]

Hey guys. So, I'm pretty annoyed by the laziness of Lana's (or Itunes') team when it comes to updating her Essentials playlist. So, I was wondering what y'all would do with it if you were managing it? 

 

Here's my LDR playlist to kick things off. Note: there are 29 spots, and these are in no particular order. Also, I didn't include some of my favorite songs like Gods & Monsters or Taco Truck because this is more about Lana's hits/essential tracks, and not what me or you think are her best songs. Feel free to comment/edit or tear it apart

 

1. Summertime Sadness

2. Summertime Sadness (Cedric Gervais remix, I know you lot hate it but it's the biggest hit of her career)

2. Ride

3. Cola

3. Video Games

4. Summer Bummer feat. ASAP Rocky

5. Norman Fucking Rockwell

6. Radio

7. Did you know that there's a tunnel... 

8. Love

9. Snow on the Beach feat. Taylor 

10. Born to Die

11 Fuck it, I love you

12. Say Yes to Heaven

13. Off to the Races

14. Lust for Life Feat. The Weeknd

15. High by the Beach

16. Shades of Cool

17. Mariner's Apartment Complex

18. Doin' Time

19.  Chemtrails Over the Country Club

20. The greatest

21. Ultraviolence

22. Don't Call Me Angel (yes, I know, you hate it, but this was a moderate hit, far more than 13 Beaches that's been sitting on that list for some stupid reason for a year now)

23.A&W

24. Blue Jeans 

25.White Dress

26. Tough feat. Quavo

27. West Coast

28. National Anthem

29. Venice Bitch 

 

HM: Music to Watch Boys to, Cherry, Brooklyn Baby, Prisoner, etc. But these are just not as "essential" imo, more like fan favorites. Also, I despise Blue Banisters so didn't add any tracks from that album. But it was kinda of a flop anyway, and iTunes only has Blue Banisters as a single for the sake of having one.

 

Thoughts? Your playlist?

Since it's made for the general public, I would add all the singles (& promotional singles like Black Beauty) from all of her albums + singles that were soundtracks, collaborations and covers, I would also additionally add these songs that went viral like The Other Woman, Margaret, Let The Light In, Art Deco, ect.

I Love it, expect for having Summertime Sadness twice, but I just don't like having different versions of the same song in one playlist. Also would add Arcadia. But nonetheless 10/10

Edit: or add Thunder which would lead into having 2-4 popular fan favs

This is what I came up with. Not in order and not my favourite songs but assuming its for the public, I think this is a good mix of her most popular songs. I personally didn't include DCMA and SOTB because for an "essential Lana" I think it should be her songs (that's she's written and has at least 90% main roll in), which is also why I didn't include Once Upon a Dream (since its a cover) — but I did make an exception for Doin' Time since it's soooo popular

[daphnedinkley 13,052]

based on the idea that it's purely lana's essential tracks, i based my list off of obvious classics (Summertime Sadness, Video Games, etc), songs with virality / popularity that has lasted for quite some time (Radio, Let The Light In), songs that you're likely to hear at a Lana show (Arcadia, PWYC) and at least one song from each album (hence the inclusion of High By The Beach, since that was a pretty big single from HM even tho it seems to be largely forgotten now!) - then i tried to order the list to flow nicely 

1. Born To Die
2. Cherry
3. Blue Jeans
4. Ultraviolence
5. Arcadia
6. Norman Fucking Rockwell!
7. Chemtrails Over The Country Club
8. West Coast
9. Tough
10. Brooklyn Baby
11. Say Yes To Heaven
12. Summertime Sadness
13. Radio
14. Lust For Life (ft. The Weeknd)
15. Doin' Time
16. High By The Beach
17. A&W
18. Diet Mountain Dew
19. Cola
20. National Anthem
21. Pretty When You Cry
22. Shades of Cool
23. Let The Light In
24. Video Games
25. Hope Is A Dangerous Thing For A Woman Like Me To Have - But I Have It
26. Mariner's Apartment Complex
27. Ride
28. Venice Bitch
29. Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Boulevard
