Lana Del Rey has notched her first Top 10 Hit on Billboard’s Hot 100 with “Summertime Sadness (Lana Del Rey Vs. Cedric Gervais Remix).” The amped-up dance mix of the penultimate track from Lana’s multi-platinum debut album Born To Die, highlights the singer-songwriter’s dramatic delivery and haunting vocals, already hitting #8 on the Top 40 chart.
Born To Die debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 when it arrived last year, and it was hailed as “A literate, emotional collection of beautifully crafted, pithily memorable songs” by the Telegraph and “An alluring potion of sultry torch pop, hypnotic trip-hop and David Lynchian atmospherics” by People. Building on the success of singles including “Summertime Sadness,” the album re-entered the chart’s Top 20 in August 2013 – 81 weeks after its initial release – demonstrating its alluring beauty and incredible longevity, selling over 5 million combined units worldwide to date.
