Wait, this is kind of wild. I guess it’s because NFR is one of the best releases of the past decade to the people who have heard Lana’s music. Kind of incredible for an album that had no mainstream hits  Venice B*tch, Cinnamon Girl and California IMPACT.

 

Meanwhile, I think tun was very of-it’s-time and so people have mostly moved on. That doesn’t mean it’s not remembered though, I’m sure it is/will be.

people saying NFR is a classic when it has 0 known songs to the gp. never change atrl

Björk released a bunch of albums back in the day which nowadays are considered classics. How many songs from Debut, Post or Homogenic could the gp identify? 
 

You should first know what the concept of “classic” means before typing nonsense, ariana stan.

I like TUN but yeah she doesn't hold a candle to NFR

I listened to Sweetener and TUN a lot in 2018/2019 (especially Sweetener), but wow, I genuinely haven't thought about either album in ages   

 

Lana is one of the most influential artists of the last 15 years, point blank period. It's not surprising that more and more people are streaming her catalogue. The fact that NFR is a timeless, stunning album doesn't hurt.

ari really ruined her momentum

"My Everything" (playlist-core album, but super memorable and fun era), "Dangerous Woman", and "sweetener" beg to differ. "Yours Truly" is far from a quick little album either. 

 

There is a valid criticism of her abandoning her recent projects post-release, which definitely harmed their longevity. And the fact "thank u, next" and "positions" suffered from pretty lacklustre music videos beyond their leads and a baffling lack of performances, but I'm against this rewriting of history.

 

It's like you only heard "34+35" from her 6-album discography.... Can't expect much from someone who deems singing about sex as something lesser, as if several pop girls throughout history haven't had their most iconic eras dedicated to the subject ("Erotica", "janet.", "BEYONCE").

"positions" ' relative underperformance really made folks create this ugly misogynistic caricature of Ariana's music, when even the album itself isn't all about sex (but intimacy and learning to build trust and fall in love again following a traumatic loss) and is much more R&B in sound compared to its trap-leaning predecessor.
