Getting into Lena Del Rey, we have to at first acknowledge that the objective stats when it comes to albums and singles, she currently doesn't have any charting in the top 100 as far as singles or a top 50 as far as albums. But that's okay because of course I'm here to put respect on her name as she did make a collaborative effort with one of hip hop's legends, which is Quavius, also known as Quavo, with their track tough as that track, to me personally, I thought it was a tough collaboration as far as crossing over with country and hip hop. Now, of course, when it comes to her latest offering, I cover, I covered her track titled Henry Come On, but now she's back again with her

latest track titled Bluebird. Now, say all that to say this. I know. it may not be performing well on the charts or maybe not as far as charting on billboard it's probably not up to her standards but in totality speak in totality i guess her fans engaging with her music in some sort or fashion is okay with her because if you don't know she has already had immense success on billboard as far as back in 2024 when she had certain tracks going crazy to the point where going back to well saying the track with quavo tough ended up peaking at 54 as far as it be as far as it being the 54th most play track in the world and that was june third and with that being said oh no that was july third 2024 and of course it was the it was her hard uh highest charting single in

2024 so i'm just going to say that maybe we should get more collaborative efforts from lank and the in our hip hop icons i mean maybe drake could be next you know as far as the track that he was trying to put out as far as or not put out but the track that drake had i think it was titled uh die trying is one of the yeah die trying right the one that he wanted justin brian i don't know if y'all knew that but now you know he wanted justin bribor on die trying right maybe lena could have been a part of that track it made history it made another highest charting on the billboard as far as her career so when it comes to billboard interestingly speaking lane is not a super palpile a super um pivotal force on billboard charts which does not mean that

she makes bad music i like to say all the time just because you don't sell a lot doesn't mean that you're making subpar music and just because you sell a lot does not mean you're making the best thing ever the two don't correlate sometimes sales do equal the quality level but quality is subjective analytics will always be objective because it shows the consumption rate amongst your peers. So that being said, billboard chart, she's not performing as high as she would probably want, but it doesn't mean people aren't streaming her music as she still has 59.4 million monthly listeners and that's just on Spotify. And technically, Spotify has her as a 29th most played, most streamed artists in the world.

So at some point, hopefully she finds a track that ends up. percolating on the charts to the point where it starts in captivating the masses. Because these tracks one after another, it seems as if it's an attempt to get her fan base to tap back in or not even get her fan base, but get the masses to tap back in so she can end up charting higher on Billboard top 100 and top 50. So with that being said, Bluebird is out now on all DSPs. And when it comes to other statistical achievements of Lena Delray, she is going on a UK and Ireland tour in June 23rd to July 3rd of 2025. And of course, that is only going to help as far as visibility. And when it comes to not having any pivotal charting achievements when it comes to the overall billboard charts, she still does have appearances. on certain charts as when it came up through the weekend, right?

The weekend, the Abyss on Hurry Up Tomorrow. That actually charted. But it was unavailable as far as Billboard, as far as at April 18th. But I believe that she charted with the weekend as far as the abyss. But we just don't know where. I think it was outside of the 100. But it's still a popular track that she put out from this year, or she was a part of, as this year the reason why i'm saying all that is because if she goes out on tour that's obviously

going to boost visibility don't know if it will actually help directly with billboard charts but i would say that in captivating your main audience is always the main focal point and then the other people will follow right so chasing a hit may not be the best route for lena right now as you've made a track of quavo which you which was your highest charting track of that year you you may made a track with the weekend which is your hardest your highest charting track as far as the abyss and now you're putting out these singles as far as henry come on you're putting out these singles as far as bluebird and even though your fans may be listening to it you haven't captivated the masses enough to chart on your own on the billboard top 100 going on tour

in uk and ireland can help out a lot as far as overall helping your numbers when it comes to charting higher than you want to. So that's my advice. I would say that the UK and Ireland tour is a great move, especially from a marketing team. And at the end of the day, let me know what you think. Click my link to your in my bio.
