Another mega-accomplishment for Ms. Lana Del Rey-pop; the hauntingly all-consuming song has now officially attained 800 Million Streams on Spotify.” Say Yes To Heaven” makes it her 9th track to reach such staggering figures, again giving rise to the point that she is just that one vibe refusing to go away, not just another artist-pop. News from Pop Crave, and let’s say the internet had its thoughts.

Can we even talk about how this isn’t on an album? Just oozed in and emotionally destroyed everyone while casually rising in the numbers. Best put by one user, Fowler, in simple yet incisive words: Not on her albums. The impact! Which, honestly, goes right- it initially leaked, became a fan favorite, and today is one of Lana’s most popular songs.
But the best were in the comments. Ryan Chwiendacz favoured us with his poetry in response:
Lana doesn’t release songs, she releases emotional exorcisms wrapped in lullabies. 800 million souls have said “I’m not healed, but run it back.” Honestly? That’s the tweet. That’s the whole thesis as to why Lana hits different. Came in a furious contrast from Pro6lema: lana out here casually melting hearts and smashing records while i’m making phonk that would make her summertime sadness sound like a lullaby. The contrast? Iconic.
But not everyone joined the party. StonedP had this to say: Lana is now a gutter artist, and this stupid count for the song is a fluke, plus a totally therapist-approved rant there…okay buddy. Whereas Melissa25 just said flatly Lana really fell off, a really outrageous opinion because the lady is tilting the numbers most artists only dream about.
What’s the next thing for her? Really, that’s the question now. Hàppy said Soon Cross 1 billion, and honestly, if anything, I wouldn’t put it past anything at this point. In contrast, co4achella gave more unreleased songs screaming into the void for this just proves she needs to release more of her unreleased music because it’s genuinely so beautiful. And honestly, sounds about right. Just imagine if a leak can do this what an official drop could do.
And John Shelby was major, handing out the history lesson-Before she was Lana Del Rey, she performed under many names-such as May Jailer and Lizzy Grant. Shows that even legends start somewhere.
