Lana Del Rey’s First Blockbuster Rockets Up The Charts

There’s a lot of excitement surrounding Lana Del Rey’s music career at the moment as she heads toward the release of a brand new album. She’s keeping fans on the edge of their seats, as she hasn’t revealed an official release date for the set. In the months since she began talking about the effort, she’s changed its title more than once, and currently, it doesn’t even have a name.

The singer-songwriter has already dropped multiple tunes from the forthcoming full-length, and fans seem to be loving everything she’s offering. This week, as her latest cut “Bluebird” arrives, interest in her catalog has surged once again. Del Rey brings multiple albums back to the charts in the United Kingdom, turning two different titles into bestsellers.

Lana Del Rey’s Born to Die Keeps Selling on Vinyl

As is almost always the case, Del Rey’s debut full-length Born to Die remains her most successful project in the U.K. This frame, the title appears on five rankings, thanks to both strong sales and streaming — especially for a collection that’s been out for well over a decade.

This time around, it lifts on three of those lists, drops on just one (and only by a few spaces), and reenters the Official Vinyl Albums chart. It’s a top 40 bestseller again on wax, landing at No. 39 after not appearing on the tally just last week.

Born to Die Bolts More Than 60 Spaces

Born to Die also manages to ascend by more than 60 spaces on both the Official Albums Sales (No. 37) and the Official Physical Albums charts (No. 35). Last week, the U.K. rankings were packed with Record Store Day releases, which were only available to purchase physically — which helps explain why so many titles are rising this week and why many classics have returned simultaneously.

The title also improves on the Official Albums Streaming ranking, rising three spots to No. 61. While it does decline by four spaces on the Official Albums chart, the fact that it’s still living somewhere in the middle of the ranking of the most-consumed projects in the country — just one week away from its three hundredth stay on the tally — is amazing.

Ultraviolence is a Bestseller Again

Del Rey fills a pair of spots on the Official Physical Albums chart this week. Ultraviolence, Del Rey’s 2014 release and second proper major studio offering, is back as a bestseller on vinyl, CD, and cassette once more. The title narrowly finds space on the list — which features 100 positions — as it reenters at No. 97. It has now spent 119 frames somewhere on this specific tally and, in the past, has climbed all the way to No. 1, something that Born to Die also managed.
