Lmao at anyone calling LFL a flop. It's anything BUT a flop.

[daytonadeath 3,596]

For crying out loud. She gets a number one and still it's the glass is half empty as opposed to half full. The great David Bowie who is a true legend got is first Billboard Number 1 album with Blackstar after he passed on. Think about that for a moment. 

exactly. Ppl judge the artist based on their sales, and that's BULLSHIT. I mean, Justin Bieber sells a lot, Katy Perry used o sell a lot too and they're both shit. Commercial success =/= being a good artist (and, usually, the artists that sells a lot aren't any good).

The Chainsmokers ft Halsey peaked at #1 and it's one of the worst songs I've heard (so does Despacito)

Or unless your fifth studio albums don't flop.

Are you a time traveler or just delusional?

The songs on LFL are nice but they definitely don't have that spark like her old songs had. I'm trying so hard to fall in love with this record as much as i have with her previous ones but something just isn't clicking. To me her songs were always way more than just great. They were ethereal, unique, shockingly brilliant. These newer songs are the 'basic musician' kind of good. I'm not dissing the tracks at all, i'm just saying for Lana (imo) this isn't quite the same. The magic is gone and it kind of makes me so upset to the point where i almost feel angry. I seriously hope she's considering making an unreleased album at this point, cus for now i'm just gonna stick to being obsessed with AKA, BTD, P, UV and HM.

People said the exact same thing about Huntymoon in this forum I remember and by the next era y'all are going to praise LFL and be disappointed with the new album

[GroupieLover 1,162]

I'm gonna stop everyone right there and just ask that you acknowledge Lana's slayage.

 

She just outsold two big-name male artists and got her second #1 while one of her opponents literally tried cheating his way to the top. How's that for shattering this increasingly male-dominated music chart scene so far this year? Lana not once mentioned wanting to go #1, fuck she didn't even tweet a link for the album download until almost a week after release, she did no promo whatsoever (per usual), had no radio support whatsoever (once again, per usual), she made no TV or radio appearances and she STILL got that #1!

 

The fact that Lana is selling as much in her first week as massive, mainstream, radio-supported artists like Lorde and Katy are is truly something to praise. There is obviously something special about Lana and her music. I can't name any other artist who could get away with doing the bare minimum promotion-wise and still go #1. But it's because she puts in the time in the studio and she works so hard to make music that is so signature to her. She's so consistent in sound, aesthetic, and 2-year releases. I love Lana so much and I just wish her fans and the general public would acknowledge just how well she's doing for such a low-key artist. That's how powerful her music is.
