but yeah it's all about the music not how much it sold.

Risen four places since last week

Shaun 28-04-2017 06:26 PM

It's been playing on Heart pretty much every time I've been in the car the past week, which I'm surprised by.

Lana didn't reduce her single which meant she wasn't able to secure a top 20 position, although shes not a singles artist so shes done alright, her album will do alright. I may have overestimated Lana considering she managed to boss out streaming straight away as she had a lot of appeal. But I've never put Lana on a huge foothold to sell tonnes or be a 'big star' or even be hugely relevant.

I am actually proud of Gagaa that shes managed as many weeks in the Top 40 with The Cure as her last 2 singles combined, such long longetivity 'queen of pop'. Really shows reducing the price of her song after just 5 days really can help her get that #19 smash hit.

Smithy 28-04-2017 06:39 PM

Whatever sis as long as you're streaming it on Spotify

#19 after reductions, queen of pop who - I thought #5 was a flop for a 'big popstar' [let alone without any reductions]

Smithy 28-04-2017 06:46 PM

Still better than 38, didn't even have to rent a rapper either to try and grab a hit!

DouglasS 28-04-2017 06:49 PM

Lana hasn't had a top 20 song since her two debut singles, #38 is not a 'drop' or decline in her singles chart history, GaGa's past three years however

MB. 28-04-2017 06:50 PM

Summertime Sadness was a top 10 hit but w/e

Denver 28-04-2017 06:51 PM

Not this Summertime Sadness shade #Fake Stan

So what's the truth then, were you expecting it to chart higher or not?? Or were you just trolling?

http://68.media.tumblr.com/649d05c22...t01ro2_400.gif

Denver 28-04-2017 06:52 PM

Im also sure it was one of the best selling songs of 2013

Summertime Sadness didn't even chart, if you're talking about a remix by Cedraic Gervais, well thats not Lana's song nor is it on her album.

Denver 28-04-2017 06:53 PM

It had her vocals on it

MB. 28-04-2017 06:54 PM

"That's not Lana's song"

She literally had the lead credit on it

Smithy 28-04-2017 06:56 PM

Ahh yes when you can't even afford a rent a rapper you can always resort to a remix to try and snatch a hit https://atrl.net/uploads/emoticons/celestial5.gif

DouglasS 28-04-2017 06:57 PM

Lana Del Rey's 'Summertime Sadness' didn't chart, I don't get whats so hard to understand xD.

A remixed version of her song did, but thats not on her album nor was it 'her hit', Gervais remixed it.

Denver 28-04-2017 06:58 PM

Just because it wasnt on an album doesnt mean it isnt her song many artists release songs that are not on albums

Yeah exactly. Cedric Gervais may have remixed it but it's still her song. what kind of mess to think it isn't her song :joker:

DouglasS 28-04-2017 06:59 PM

Lady GaGa just isn't relevant anymore, she lasted two albums. Such a shame.

I've seen GaGa fans laugh at Rih and Katy getting top 5 hits saying they had 'flopped' because it didn't reach #1, but look at Gaga's last three years. Now GaGa fans are acting as if discounted single at #19 is classed as a 'hit' :hehe:

MB. 28-04-2017 06:59 PM

Well, this has certainly convinced me that Gaga's a total flop, cheers Douglas!

You will probably hear the same thing again every week. bless a 5 year old and their obsession.

DouglasS 28-04-2017 07:02 PM

I've seen on this forum other pop acts get destroyed or laughed at for not reaching #1 or only just reaching the top #5, It's just the reverse, don't be bitter - I can accept Lana didn't do 'amazing' and I'm happy to say that. I don't bump this thread, I just respond to messages I'm quoted for

I can't believe it took me until his eighteenth time making the exact same point that I finally came round to his way of thinking

By the way, has anyone mentioned that Gaga's single was reduced?

So thankful a Lana Del Rey stan is teaching us about relevant artists!

Also "this is behaviour that I don't like but I've seen other people do it so I'm going to repeat it and direct it at this specific group of people"? Really?

I've never claimed Lana is a relevant pop gal or a queen of the industry, shes always been a bit niche and a steady seller

I'd say the front running girls are; Adele, Rihanna, Katy, Ariana, Beyonce Sia, Zara Larsson

By next week apparently 'The Cure' will have the biggest sales in the US and the UK for any leading pop gal according to GaGa stans
