In many ways a sonic sequel to the ideas explored in Born To Die, Honeymoon followed hot on the heels of 2014's Ultraviolence, dropping in 2015 with a sun-soaked, Old Hollywood aesthetic. Thanks to fan-favourite singles including Mariners Apartment Complex, Venice Bitch and Doin' Time, NFR! is also Lana's second most streamed album in the UK. A breezy, cohesive body of work, it debuted at Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart upon its release, helping Lana to become one of the female artists with the most UK Number 1 albums (she currently ties with Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Diana Ross and Rihanna with four each). Critically acclaimed upon the time of its release, it was hailed by many critics as Lana's best album, one that cemented her status as one of America's premier songwriters. Norman F**king Rockwell!ĭespite being barely two years old, NFR! has quite the legacy. As it stands, however, Lust For Life trails Lana's other efforts, although it did debut at Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart, unlike her previous LP. Seeing her taking a more cheery approach to her craft, it also saw her collaborate for the first time with many heavy-weight pop names, from producer Benny Blanco on lead single Love to Swedish hitmaker Max Martin on the title track, which also featured vocals from The Weeknd. Lana returned from a relatively-long (by her standards) two years' silence in 2017 with the more upbeat Lust For Life. So without further ado, time to don your sunglasses and think about bad men with emotional attachment issues, it's time to dive in. To make things easier on everyone, we'll just be counting her full-length albums (which discount EPs and add-ons, such as Born To Die's Paradise Edition and last year's spoken-word poetry anthology Violet Bent Over The Grass Backwards) released by Lana as a major-label act (so sorry to her previous releases under old aliases such as 2010's indie release Lana Del Ray and Lizzie Grant). Seventh studio album Chemtrails Over The Country Club is looking set to become her fifth chart-topper on the Official Albums Chart and to celebrate, we thought it was high time that we counted down the success of all of her previously released LPs and how they fared on the UK charts.Īs a little addendum, as any Lana fan will know, her release history is complicated to say the least. One of the most enigmatic and enduring figures in modern pop, Lana's output is one of a true albums' artist, one whose identity is ever-shifting and evolving. It's true, it will remind us that we are, after all, not God.From the moment she first arrived as a mainstream pop force, Lana Del Rey has mesmerised fans and critics alike. And your father's name will shine again like a beacon in the galaxy.
Then, having reached the heights, this all-but-divine race perished in a single night, and nothing was preserved above ground.Īlta, about a million years from now the human race will have crawled up to where the Krell stood in their great moment of triumph and tragedy.
Ethically and technologically they were a million years ahead of humankind, for in unlocking the mysteries of nature they had conquered even their baser selves, and when in the course of eons they had abolished sickness and insanity, crime and all injustice, they turned, still in high benevolence, upwards towards space. In times long past, this planet was the home of a mighty, noble race of beings who called themselves the Krell. United Planets Cruiser C57D, now more than a year out from Earth Base on a special mission to the planetary system of the great main-sequence star Altair. And so, at last, mankind began the conquest and colonization of deep space. Almost at once there followed the discovery of hyperdrive through which the speed of light was first obtained and later greatly surpassed. By 2200 A.D., they had reached the other planets of our solar system.
In the final decade of the 21st Century, men and women in rocket ships landed on the moon.
