This is insane 

[rightofjupiter 16,571]

whoa is Art Deco trending on TikTok or something? Anyways love to see that (and Salvatore and freak) getting so much love. 
 

she really gets bigger every year, against all odds, great music is great music 

[BartenderDeco 19,635]

if the next single is a bop and has a mv can we try to make it do well in terms of charts and streams

[For K 9,171]

Now that the Christmas music is mostly done skewing the charts I figured I’d update this. 
 

 
 

BTD steadily climbing

It's absolutely insane the longevity of BTD. It's personally a favorite of mine since I was first listening when it dropped but man it seems that a lot of younger people like it. The production has also aged like wine unlike some other music from this time period

also if she over decides to release an unreleased album she will become a billionaire the fact that Meet Me In The Pale Moonlight has over 8 million streams on Soundcloud, Dragonslayer already has 37k listens on Soundcloud and 24k on YouTube . Even She's Not Me has over 1 million streams on Soundcloud like its obvious she isn't doing it for the money thats for sure

Literally. I understand her hesitation and all of the complications of figuring out payouts for all her former producers if she made an unreleased album but she really should. The problem is she has enough unreleased songs to make 20+ albums at minimum

Born to Die is likely to break into the top 50 again next week. Jumped 13 positions in just a week  This likely was such a big jump because of all the Xmas stuff falling off since the holiday season is mostly over but I still suspect BTD is gonna break top 50 if it continues the traction it's been picking up. 

 

Not to mention it had its biggest streaming day EVER just the other day at 4,390,869 streams on Spotify.

Even bigger than the month with the Taylor song (that had like 50M by the end) 

I hope the new album does amazing on streaming so they let her release digital first in the future

fr i don’t know why we even talk about charts / sales. what matters is if the music is good to us or not.

[Deleted Member 23,728]

why do y’all care about charts OR sales at all… charts are not and never have been in her top 100 priorities and she is a millionaire, if she sells 5 copies of the album she’ll be fine  it’s so funny watching obvious stans of the big pop girls who actually do care about that stuff projecting that same thing onto lana

I do. Guess I am projecting. It is funny when Taylor had all ten spots on the BB Hot 100 on her album release. Drake duplicated that the following week when he released, except he couldn't unseat Taylor's #1, so he did a screenshot but crossed out Taylor Swift at the top spot . . . It says something about society, how men are raised, how they view women.

I like when Lana has material success so all the Dave Grohl's and others cool to her spot in the industry can grind their teeth! (Dave Grohl is proud he talked his daughter out of buying Lana Del Rey when he treated her at a record store, instead talking her into some traditional rock album. But then, he was mean to Courtney.)

charts are also a way to see how your work is received by the public (in an ideal world where charts are not manipulated)

if not in absolute numbers, but then in relative numbers to your other work

and you don't want to make an album that no one likes, even critics can only tell you part of the truth

all of the gay GenZ twinks people here are used to the pop machine that delivers products with specific datelines, and Lana has been able to circumvent most of that as long as she does the bare minimum of what her label/management needs from her. If the people that have been a fan of hers since UV are STILL looking for conventional release dates from Lana, they should wear a clown nose to compliment that feeling

 

 

some people take it too hard because numbers and statistics are a mental hobby; good statistics are used to compliment whether or not something is inherently good, and people use it as solid evidence that said thing (movie, music, sports team, consumer electronics, etc.) is worth something, even if its not. 

People like to argue about high chart positions because it validates the music they listen to. 

 

just as heterosexuals like to argue about sport scores, homosexuals argue about music chart position 

Just as someone doesn't care about how many #1's or Grammys Rihanna has, I don't care about how many home runs or championship rings Tom Brady has. Its all subjective 

I don’t argue about sports and I don’t give a damn about chart positions . Am I an alien ? 👽 

 

Joke aside , I totally agree about the clown nose to any one who expects conventional release dates .
