How long until Born To Die passes Ultraviolence? :(

 

If things go in this pattern, probably in three weeks. Such a shame because Ultraviolence is a great album and it deserves to do much better. I wish Lana/her team would make more effort in promotions. Lana did announce Ultraviolence as the next official single, so a video will no doubt be in the works. Plus, she was the cover story on Rolling Stone last week.

She needs to do actual performances and release actual songs to radio.

 

'Ultraviolence' isn't a good single choice anyway. There are several more radio friendly songs on the album and as much as I adore the song, it's just not something that'll grip people on the radio :(

As much as I want Florida Kilos as a single, I know it ain't gonna happen. I enjoy Ultraviolence but also agree that it's not really single material. It sounds great as an album track though. I could have gone with Brooklyn Baby (fans really love this song and it can have an excellent music video to fit), Sad Girl or maybe Money Power Glory.

Ouch at Sia.

I woldve loved Florida Kilos as a single but since it's only available as the deluxe songs on the album, it won't happen. Sad girl will need a radio edit but it's absolutely stunning

Don't you mean YES! JASON.

 

Who still buys albums by that top 2?

Eeeek at Sia

The Sia drop looks worse than it is. Her #1 sales were really terrible so she was far closer to the albums lower down than most #1s. She was just a tad more frontloaded than most #1s, and no more frontloaded than Ultraviolence (which was just fortunate enough to have a higher starting point).

 

In any case the #19 position in week 2 is still higher than she'd ever been with any other album.

Hopefully Ultraviolence can hit 500,000 by the end of the campaign as it looks like it will take a while to clear the remaining 200,000 sales now
