Lana Del Rey’s Born to Die Reaches 350 Weeks as a Winner

Del Rey’s Born to Die slides backward from No. 73 to No. 81 on the Official Albums chart, the U.K.’s list of the 100 most popular full-lengths and EPs in the nation. While her breakout project may be on the decline, the fact that it holds on and finds space yet again means that the Grammy-nominated artist has reason to celebrate. Born to Die has now lived on the Official Albums roster for 350 weeks. It is not only Del Rey’s first title to make it to that figure, but none of her other projects have come even close.

Born to Die Outpaces the Rest of Her Catalog

Del Rey has only seen one other release make it to triple-digit weeks on the Official Albums chart. Her second-longest-running project on the roster remains Norman Fucking Rockwell! That set held on for 33 stints, only a few weeks longer than either Ultraviolence or Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd. Born to Die has spent more time on the U.K.’s Official Albums chart than her eight other charting wins combined – and times two.

Lana Del Rey’s Born to Die Lands on Multiple Charts

This week, Born to Die is the only piece of music by Del Rey that appears on the U.K. charts. As it backtracks on the main albums roster, Born to Die improves on the three other lists on which it can be found in the country. This frame, it settles at No. 67 on the Official Physical Albums tally, No. 70 on the Official Albums Sales roster, and No. 83 on the Official Albums Streaming register.

Lana Del Rey Appears on Sales and Streaming Charts

350 weeks on the Official Albums chart is quite the run – one that even most highly successful artists won’t approach. Though, impressively, it is not the title’s most impressive streak among all the U.K. charts where it takes up space currently.

Born to Die is up to 360 turns on the Official Physical Albums ranking, which focuses entirely on the sets that sell the most copies each frame on CD, cassette, or vinyl throughout the U.K. Born to Die has spent more than 200 frames, but fewer than 300, on the Official Albums Sales (225 weeks) and Official Albums Streaming (219 weeks) rundowns.

Lana Del Rey’s Born to Die Debuted at No. 1

Del Rey broke onto the Official Albums chart for the first time in February 2012, when she was one of the music industry’s hottest newcomers. The singer-songwriter wasted no time in storming the penthouse, as Born to Die debuted at No. 1 and held there for two consecutive frames.

Out of her eight top 10 charting albums in the U.K., half a dozen have climbed all the way to No. 1. Del Rey followed Born to Die with the champions Ultraviolence, Lust for Life, Norman Fucking Rockwell!, Chemtrails Over the Country Club, and most recently, Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd.
