I'll have to check her out. I have heard Video Games only and I thought it was boring.

This album got my through an awful day of college. I had it on repeat ALL DAY.

I think this could be one of my favourite albums of all time.

#1 in 11 countries. Well done to her.

UK
Lana Del Rey’s Born To Die has become the first big-selling new album of 2012 after taking just three days to clock up nearly 70,000 sales.

The newly-issued Polydor album looks an absolute certainty to top the UK artist albums chart this weekend with Official Charts Company Data showing that by the end of business on Tuesday it had outsold its nearest seven challengers combined.

70.000?? It's going to sell the same amount than in the US! (it's projected to debut with 70-80k there).

[Gary]

Its going to sell way more than 70k in the UK. Thats just 3 days sells. Everywhere seems to have embraced her more than her home country. Not that she cares tbh. She lives in the UK at the moment.

[Alonso]

She lives in the UK at the moment.

Really? I didn't know that. Madonna's case once again?

UK Update
Lana Del Rey’s Born To Die is on the verge of becoming the first album this year to sell more than 100,000 copies in a week in the UK as Leonard Cohen heads towards his highest-charting release in more than four decades.

Del Rey’s Polydor-issued album had sold around 92,000 copies up until the end of business on Thursday, according to the Official Charts Company, putting it more than 60,000 sales ahead of the rest of the market.

With two more days of trading still to go, Born To Die’s figures for this week are already very impressive given in the first four weeks of 2012 sales of the number one album have ranged from 20,678 to 38,380 copies across an entire week.
