Amazing she sold so much without a hit (off the album) and fighting back against a tidal wave of negativity and bad press. The album is mesmerizing and near-perfect; I hope her next effort matches it in quality, and drastically exceeds it in commercial success. YAS Meryl! Serve that truth!

My boyfriend and I were there too! I wonder if it was the same night (pretty sure she did three consecutive shows in Irving). Whoops, just saw this. I was at the last concert on June 10. I'd love to see her again and see how she's improved since her European tour. She sang great when I saw her, but it was obvious that she was inexperienced as a performer. She had trouble walking around the stage in her heels when she tried and had to keep checking that she wasn't tripping over her mic cord. THAT'S WHEN WE WERE THERE! I remember because it was his birthday. And yeahhh she didn't have her stage legs yet. Remember when she tried to get sexy with the mic stand during "Million Dollar Man?"

Welcome to the latest episode of the Billboard.com Pop Shop Podcast, Billboard's weekly half-hour audio breakdown of the Billboard charts, hottest music news and year's biggest musical events. Casual pop fans and chart junkies can hear Billboard.com associate editor Jason Lipshutz and Billboard associate director of charts Keith Caulfield every Thursday on the free Pop Shop Podcast, which can be streamed on Billboard.com or downloaded in iTunes (click here to listen to last week's episode). Lana compared to Beyonce in terms of visuals. Talks about her record breaking tour and how many people were unable to get tickets Suggest that Lana could also make a visual album for every track or possibly another film for the whole album! Born To Die being a consistent seller, reaching 1 million sales in its 112th week. Ultraviolence will possibly be a very high debut, compared to Mumford and Sons second album selling 600,000+ copies!www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/6028797/pop-shop-podcast-frozen-lana-del-rey-betty-who-interview-more?utm_source=twitterIt's probably that she's going for the B's same strategy. I hope it really works well for Lana. I love her interest in visual aspects in all of her videos. Can't wait for Ultraviolence.

Something tells me she's going to get all the Grammys next year.

As much as I would love that, I don't see Lana as an industry darling and we know that the Grammys are all politics. Still, it was a nice gesture to nominate her for Pop Vocal Album.

I can't wait for this album! Based on her descriptions of it from a year ago, I expect it to sound like her Lizzy Grant album and I couldn't be happier; Kill Kill and Put Me In A Movie are absolute favorites of mine.

I'm so excited to hear West Coast and watch the video for it. Also, Meet Me In The Pale Moonlight slays me.

Still, it was a nice gesture to nominate her for Pop Vocal Album. if she can score that post SNL, she can do damn near anything imo. It seems like she's primed for great success in sales without a truly massive hit-- she just has this post-Grammy-like cult following already and I could see the Grammys compensating by giving her dues. Maybe I'm wrong and they'll do her like they did Britney though, idk.

Looks like a grittier ARTPOP meets BEYONCÉ ad with the bold, all caps look. Not that they were the first to do so, but they're the first to come to mind.
For some reason the composition irks me, but it definitely gets the point across.

If I don't have West Coast by the time I get to Vancouver for her show, I will cut a bitch.

Great to hear something uptempo from Lana, "Meet Me In The Pale Moonlight" is likable on first listen.

I believe she said she wrote that for someone else and is not keeping it though. It is pretty solid.

At least it's not running down her face like some Gothic nightmare.
