Recommended Posts

UPDATED 1212PM EASTERN TIME AUGUST 15, 2017

TO INCLUDE BOTH THE AUGUST 19 AND AUGUST 26 2017 ISSUES

(THE BRAND NEW ONE JUST RELEASED ONLINE TODAY)


Lana is our modern day Edith Piaf. Totally unique. a mixture of Brian WIlson Roy Orbison, Leonard Cohen, Gram Parsons, Elton & Bernie. Born to Die/Paradise is comparable to Elton's Captain Fantastic. All the records need to be listened whole. Waiting for a box set vinyl of all 400 songs not on any lp

Attention my US ladies everyone must stream/buy Born to Die because it's dropped to 191 on the Billboard 200

(also the amount of Tom Petty albums that will re-enter next week might push it off)

But good news, it's now tied with Heavenly by Johnny Mathis as the 20th longest charting album on the Billboard 200 in HISTORY! And Lust for Life has shot up almost 100 places

Edited to include the October 7 and October 14, 2017 chart.

 

and note- it is possible that the album will not be on the chart for temporarily due to Tom Petty's death, where at least 10, perhaps 14 of his albums(or albums he is on like the Travelling Wilbury's  three albums)

will re-chart in the next weeks, plus this is the major release schedule and the Christmas albums will be starting to chart. When those fall off

(Just in time for her tour), the classic albums return to the chart.

This will affect probably half of the albums currently charting. 

 

​Note also- Eminem's album fell off this week and remains at 297 weeks and that album is directly ahead of Born to Die

 

Interesting trivia-

 

Lana has 2 number one albums, and 2 #2 albums

Tom Petty, legendary as he is, only got his first #1 album on his most recent one released in 2014. No album of his ever hit #1 prior to that.
