MediaTraffic tells us Ultraviolence has sold 570,000 copies in its first three weeks.
If someone had told me back in September 2011, when I first fell in love with "Video Games", that this girl I found on Pitchfork's second studio album would sell 570,000 copies in three weeks I would not have believed it. I thought she was destined for blog stardom, an album that charts nowhere, one amazing song, a few festival appearances and then oblivion. Everything that's happened since surpassed my wildest dreams and I honestly couldn't care less if the huge success of Born to Die makes the rest of her career from now on look like a flop.
