Kim Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 I think she's just unsure of herself. She can go from SNL and this horror to sounding like she did here. And here especially -- I'm trusting we've all seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3LELrkrfS8 @ "this horror". She just let her vocals run free.

Kim Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Lana Del Rey 'Born' Atop U.K. Album Chart The meteoric worldwide success of Lana Del Rey's debut album "Born To Die" extended to the U.K. on Sunday (Feb. 5), when it debuted at No. 1 with sales of 117,000, more than the rest of the top five combined. French artist-DJ David Guetta celebrated his two Grammy and one BRIT Award nominations by climbing 2-1 on the singles chart with "Titanium," featuring Sia. It was announced last Wednesday (Feb. 1) that "Born To Die" had hit No. 1 on the iTunes album chart in 15 countries. In the U.K., Del Rey's 117,000 opening sales included 50,000 digitally, and she's in the singles top 40 with two tracks from the album: the title track climbed 14-9 yesterday and her debut hit "Video Games," which debuted at No. 9 in October, jumped back 20-17, with total sales now standing at nearly 292,000 units, according to the Official Charts Company. http://www.billboard.com/#/news/lana-del-rey-born-atop-u-k-album-chart-1006100552.story?utm_source=most_recent ---- :clapping: :clapping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnd Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 ^ And it begins... She's having great success right across Europe and Oz. The album will most likely debut at number one next week on our charts as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I've been happy for ol' girl, but this week, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Lana Del Rey Debuts at No. 2 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart Much talked-about singer/songwriter Lana Del Rey makes her expected arrival at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with "Born To Die," selling 77,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan. It's the highest entry for a female artist's full-length major label debut since Jackie Evancho's "Dream With Me" bowed at No. 2 on July 2, 2011. Meanwhile, Adele's "21" sits tight at No. 1 for a 19th nonconsecutive week (122,000; up 5%). Next week it could yield the top slot to the new Van Halen album "A Different Kind of Truth," which was released yesterday (Feb. 7). http://www.billboard.com/#/news/lana-del-rey-debuts-at-no-2-on-billboard-1006124352.story ---- Oooo, I am pressed to the high heavens right now.

Kennita Jo. Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Coming out of the gate with 77,000 copies after no experience and no hit single is nothing to scoff at though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 BORN TO SELL LIKE HOTCAKES: Lana Del Rey's Born to Die debuted at #1 in half a dozen countries, including France, Britain and Germany, selling a total of 800k units worldwide, according to Interscope. Additionally, LDR’s videos have now registered 80 million views, the number rising by 10 million every week. If the controversy surrounding Del Rey can result in numbers like these, it’ll behoove the majors to try to sign more acts capable of polarizing the media and consumers to a similar degree of intensity—you can’t buy that kind of exposure.

Kim Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Lana Del Rey On 'American Idol': 'Video Games' Singer Returns TV Despite her widely-panned "Saturday Night Live" performance, Lana Del Rey is reportedly heading to "American Idol" with a chance to redeem herself. The "Video Games" singer is set to make her "Idol" debut on Thursday, March 15. Although her appearance on the reality singing competition has not been confirmed, Spinner reports that tickets to the taping of "American Idol" this coming Thursday depict Del Rey alongside the two scheduled performers -- Disney starlet Demi Lovato and former "American Idol" contestant Daughtry. It has yet to be revealed whether the young artist will sing live or whether it's a pre-taped performance. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/14/lana-del-rey-american-idol_n_1344310.html ---- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
