[Jack 2,911]

August 18th is my birthday #weird #tryna cover up my album huh lana

[Angel Forever 145]

I read SoC was a promo single, since it wasn't sent to radio, even having a video, tho.

I actually like Ultraviolence, let's hope for Source Family references ans the PWYC video too.

[Intriguing Penguin 867]

 I want Money Power Glory to beee a siiiiiinggggllleeeee. 

[tjamen 7]

I was hoping either Brooklyn Baby or Cruel World would be the 2nd single, and then Old Money as the 3rd :<

[DominicMars 1,761]

I like the song, but this and WC are my least favorite single choices but I am looking forward to remixes. I love the bridge in it though. Its perf

 

I need SOC remixes like last week please interscope

[Creyk 11,497]

OLD MONEY WHERE ARE YOU  :defeated:

*meltdown mode off*

Well, I am happy with this too.

Since Lana only wants to do an UV tour next year maybe she will actually promote this in August. She could go to SNL, Ellen, Letterman, Allan Carr, etc...please Lana make it happen.

Who am I kidding.

Please Ben force Lana to do promo, make it happen

[Summersault 822]

I'm just wondering why the long break between the singles? It'll be like 4 months between them, isn't that unusual?

 

I know her whole PR management is a mess but still..

She's very lucky to not really need much promo at this point.

[hollywoodgirl 396]

@  I dunno, I think it may be deliberate. The album was out last month. Apparently touring doesn't start till next year. So if she releases new music videos from August to December they keep the album in the press.

[BlueJeans 2,603]

I think it's an abordable song for radio. Don't think it Will do much though.. Brooklyn Baby I feel has this immediate likeable quality, it's summery and I think it would be a wise choice. Same with Old Money, since it sounds like a Traditional ballad but with Lana's touch..

[Thunder Revenant 20,700]

Brooklyn Baby is too long for radio stations I guess and Old Money is too calm.

 

UV is a nice choice and a good song, but i guess it might "do" as much as the "Born To Die" single, just without being as iconic ...

 

But let's remember UV was @ °1 of the Itunes charts when the song was released, wasn't it?

 

 

Would have prefered Money Power Glory, its just such a radio friendly but still very good song.

Brooklyn Baby is too long for radio stations

 

That's what radio edits are for. For example, Madonna released Frozen which is about 6 minutes long in 1998. The radio edit is 4-5 minutes long and the song became a hit, nevertheless. Justin Timberlakes song, "Mirrors" is also 6 minutes long and the radio edit is 3-4 minutes long. Again, the song was a radio smash.

 

I wouldn't mind a radio edit for BrB. It's for the GP and promo after all. I'm not sure if Old Money would work as a single, though. I mean it's kind of like Video Games but I'm not sure if radio stations are willing to play it, because it's not as "sing-along" as Video Games.

Depends in how it's done ... I mean, they could cut some instrumental parts and maybe the "my boyfriend's really cool .." part would be cut out, so the song would end after the last chorus.

[AndreaUPl 40]

The period is summer/end of summer, the only right choice for the mood is a shorter version of Brooklyn Baby.

 

I really don't understand why they choose singles completely random...

The fact that the American remix ranked close to UV is clearly a sign, only idiots have voted.

[DominicMars 1,761]

Lmao. Actually, I was just thinking that American would have been a great single choice. Omg the remixes would kill me

[Kittren 209]

I love Ultraviolence. Perfect song on a morning ride to work <3

[SilverSprings 534]

I wanted Brooklyn Baby/Money Power Glory/Old Money/Black Beauty/Florida Kilos but this will do I s'pose. Doubt it will do too well though but I don't care about that.
