Did Lana's success shock you?

Her underperformance in the US is more shocking...

Kingfisher

well
she's signed to one of the biggest record labels around
so no

Gavroche

No. She deserved it. Her music is amazing and she's not like other current pop girls. She's different.

She has sold well in the US for a debut, plus she's not local, sorry.

What does that have anything to do with it?

There are tons of artists signed to Interscope that arent big sellers..

I am. I guess it's also because Interscope played their cards right towards Lana because they saw potential in her. Her underperformance in the US is overwhelming but she's doing pretty fine worldwide.

Yes. Not shocked , but I definitely did not expect this much success.

Damn, she sold almost 2.5 M without the US, that's really impressive.

I knew the SNL backlash would give her exposure but best selling album released in 2012 so far is just incredible.Also her music is very alternative which makes it even more impressive
