Good to see Changes back in, left too soon.

Changes :wub: Hopefully this will add to their sales after that criminally short initial chart run.

 

Edit: scratch that

Don't dislike Changes but it's good to see 5SOS ahead still despite dropping behind for a couple of weeks :kink:

Biography

Vocalist Lana Del Rey makes atmospheric, orchestral, retro-'60s-sounding pop that showcases her torchy image and sensuous singing style. A native of Lake Placid, New York, Del Rey released the single "Kill Kill" under her given name, Lizzy Grant, in 2009 before remaking herself into the pop femme fatale character Lana Del Rey. A video for the single "Video Games" appeared online in August of 2011 and drew considerable buzz, as did a secret show she performed at Brooklyn's Grasslands Gallery that September. Del Rey's EP, featuring the songs "Video Games" and "Blue Jeans," was released in fall 2011. Amidst a heavy dose of hype, her debut album Born to Die was announced by Interscope for release early the following year. Del Rey cemented the anticipation around the album with an appearance on Saturday Night Live, becoming the first artist since Natalie Imbruglia in 1998 to perform on the show before the release of her debut album. Born to Die hit number one in several European countries, reached number two on the U.S. charts, and eventually sold several million copies worldwide. By the end of 2012, Del Rey had released her next work, a mini-album titled Paradise, with a trailer single called "Ride." - iTunes

Album Discussion Here

Still can't get over how this #3 peaking song only spent 6 weeks in the T40. Glad to see it back anyway, such a great dance record!

 

Boo at The Kooks missing out on another T40 though, hoping it's at #41 or #42 at least though.

West Coast still top 40 :o exceeded my expectations, but the first 2 minutes are so dull. Brooklyn Baby is so much better (well I think so :P )
because the Buzzjack filter censors the word "w*n**r" (yes I did see that, before the edit)

Of course, silly me!

Yay for 'West Coast' having a decent little climb there, I expect it'll start to drop away rapidly again now the album release week is gone but it hasn't entirely embarrassed itself up to that point which is decent enough. I think this might actually be my favourite from her now, such a grower :wub:
In love with 'West Coast' at the moment! My friend bought her new album and after a quick listen together, it sounded brilliant! Must get it.
West Coast having decent longevity! Obviously boosted by the album release but still. Still far from her best but pleasant enough.
I still can't recognize West Coast when first chords come...
good to see Lana Del Lol not completely flopping with this. It's nowhere near the standard of Video Games and Summertime Sandess but if you forget that it's quite a nice listen.
