I guess my Snapchat is broken cause my sound works

Is your phone switched to silent? I thought it was silent until I switched it on

Omg you're right lol, I was able to play my music on silent which is why I was confused. Thank you!

btw the Snapchat promo is actually working, Love is rising in the UK, Australia, Germany, Canada, US and many other countries.

The music video also got like 250k views just in the last few hours

it's nice to see that she's also doing well on spotify sweden but they really need to do smth to get her streams going because that's the only way how you can get some longevity nowadays (it'll also be good for ldr5 streaming numbers just look at the zara larsson mess)

[Harpunn 399]

Didn't Larsson snowball after the World Cup exposure? That's the only way I found out about her

[Lanas honey pot 1,370]

since the promo only started today i think that maybe the song will become a small hot in some countries 

[Dominikx4 25,025]

what is a Zara Larsson

since when does this clothing shop have a singer

[Amadeus 11,293]

Didn't Larsson snowball after the World Cup exposure? That's the only way I found out about her

her us first week sales were 5k (a true hm tease here) and she's about to fall out of the top 10 in the uk despise having four top 10 singles, however all of the seven frontloaded single releases count as album plays now making the album the "most streamed debut album by a female" and reaching more streams than btd "within it's first week". 

 

Lana's album sales are pretty okay though but she would definitely benefit of having some streaming hits. Love being added as the 78th track a week after the release wasn't really helpful tbh.

[californianfreak 3,479]

Don't you have to follow Lana to get the filter? I don't really understand Snapchat but that's what i gathered

 

noo a couple of my friends who don't follow her managed to get the filter although I don't think they knew what it was for either

[Flowerbomb 65,555]

Finally we got some real promo

[Harpunn 399]

Perhaps it's just that good chunks of people aren't used to this Lana. Same talk, but you've got a higher chance of getting recognition plunging in with an upbeat, percussive and titillating song than prancing around with a song about the same matter, but much slower and, inherently, more profound. Songs like Love oftentimes are put on by people just to find out what they do entail, and when after they listen even less than 10 times to said song, they simply circumvent it. Only the fanbase and a measly amount of people would parse the song and actually find meaning in it. It's just the way it works, with people choosing to jolt into dreamlike sequences with upbeat songs at the detriment of more organic ones because of escapism.

lol idk, that's why I shared, I wasn't sure if someone who took the time to make a Lana account for charts exclusively would have made a mistake 

 

Anyways, I find it funny that Young And Beautiful was just #2 on Itunes Vietnam yesterday, I guess they got confused with the song's name? Guess people were right with the Yound And In Love & Young And Beautiful thing. Young And Beautiful is actually charting in some places
