Lust For Life - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[ReyDelLana 371]

lanasters, keep on streaming this record!!!

 

i think the main reasons are the gap between them on APPLE MUSIC and the allegedly boosted number from Tidal

im so confused though, who is buying meek mill's album? literally nobody was here for his singles yet for some reason his albums do well

[Wynwood 19,967]

So the kid movie soundtrack is the one that will block Lana, Meek and Tyler after all? 

 

i literally hate children and their music

 

i remember when the Frozen song was topping charts and beating everyone else in sales, disgraceful

Meek Mill, Tyler, the Creator and Lana Del Rey are all aiming for No. 1 on next week’s Billboard 200 albums chart, according to industry forecasters. Those in the know suggest that Mill’s Wins & Losses could earn perhaps 90,000 to 95,000 equivalent units in the week ending July 27, while Tyler, the Creator’s Flower Boy might tally 85,000 to 95,000 and Del Rey’s Lust for Life could earn around 85,000 to 90,000.

I don't know who the fuck meek is and I don't care to become familiar. 

Lana is #1 so I'm good x

[ReyDelLana 371]

how the hell is meek mill pacing for more units? doesnt make ANY sense

[latothemoon 11,846]

Honeymoon debuted with 116k, we have to beat that.

[5adboy 5,015]

Damn, I would've really loved it if the opener was 13 Beaches - the album would've started with the sea and ended with the sea.

I think Lust for Life is a better opener for the album because has the motorcycles and the "shut up shut up" just like Get Free.

It's like a trip where she starts looking for a lust for life in Hollywood and she finally finds it in Get Free, where she is ready to be free in the ocean.

I will NOT settle for #3

[salvatore 21,769]

I don't trust Tidal numbers at. fucking. all. 

 

Ik not many of y'all are really into hiphop or rnb/pop 

 

But Jay-z going platinum immediately was bullshit. Through Tidal.

 

ANTI going platinum immediately was bullshit. At the very least she hit double platinum to earn it.

[latothemoon 11,846]

I've been streaming the album non stop for 48 hours, even while I'm sleeping, and bought multiple copies, y'all are slacking. Get it together gays.  

[reputation 6,321]

Okay but can Lana use this concept somehow 

 

"Then the Goddess of Everything Else trudged her way through the bog, till the mud almost totally dulled her bright colors and rainbows. She stood on a rock and she sang them a dream of a different existence. She showed them the beauty of flowers, she showed them the oak tree majestic. The roar of the wind on the wings of the bird, and the swiftness and strength of the tiger. She showed them the joy of the dolphins abreast of the waves as the spray formed a rainbow around them, and all of them watched as she sang and they all sighed with longing."

 

Ahhh, the transhumanist blogosphere.
