Streaming elixir: Lana Del Rey is constantly inside the Top 15 most-streamed women in the world. She's built a fanbase from all generations, who pass on her music to younger audiences. She's blurred the line between single and album track or even unreleased; no matter the format, Lana songs constantly go viral, with no need of a music video or conventional promo. Touring power: Be it in North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East or Australia, Lana Del Rey always goes sold out. From the Hollywood Bowl to the Mercedes Benz Arena, Lana's shows are known for her cult-like crowds, summer dresses and amazing band. She's also a festival darling: From Lollapalooza, Primavera Sound, Glastonbury to Coachella, We Love Green and Governorns Ball, Lana Del Rey is a favorite for festivals all around the world. The enigmatic headliner attracts not only fans who will pay to see her no matter where or how, but also thousands of casual listeners. She's the author of one of the most-acclaimed albums of the past decade: Del Rey made her debut in the early 2010s with the monster success of Born to Die and kissed goodbye the decade with the classic Norman F*cking Rockwell!, the studio effort that certified her critical darling status. Not only it was ranked as the best album of 2019, but also received an Album of the Year nomination at the Grammys and won Best Album In The World at the NME Awards.

NOW Posted June 21, 2022 Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Happy Birthday Lana! Not her 10-year old album rising on the album charts, Queen of longevity and letting the music speak for itself Honestly, it hasn't really dawned on me until last year that she's in her mid-30s now. She really meant it when she posted this tweet and just kept making better and better music Edited June 21, 2022 by NOW
