To celebrate, we’ve ranked all eight of Del Rey’s studio albums, including the still out-of-print Lana Del Ray. The singer followed up her magnum opus with not one but two new albums this year: Chemtrails Over the Country Club, which was originally planned for release in 2020, and the more stripped-down Blue Banisters, a sonic departure from its two predecessors. Of course, Del Rey spent the next decade proving the naysayers shortsighted, culminating with 2019’s stunning Norman Fucking Rockwell. Her road to iconic status, however, was long, winding, and filled with proverbial speed bumps, including an aborted indie album, released digitally in January of 2010 before being pulled three months later, and her infamous primetime debut on SNL, which prompted critics to hastily declare her shtick all hype and no substance.
Lana Del Rey, née Elizabeth Grant, achieved cult fame even before her major label debut, Born to Die, hit shelves in 2012.
