Lana Del Rey's Official Top 40 biggest songs on the UK's Official Chart
officialcharts.comThere is only one Lana Del Rey. Across a career that has now spanned a decade and included nine generation-defining major label studio albums, Lana has morphed from Born To Die's swaggering femme fatale, to Ultraviolence's bruised, wandering traveler, using each new project to slowly strip away the mythos and allure of her alter-ego.
If her new album, Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd. wasn't evidence enough, Lana has used her time in the spotlight to slowly strip away the excesses of her production and songwriting, arriving at something approaching her real self - Elizabeth Grant.
