Though the album was briefly issued on iTunes, it was taken down two months later at Lana’s own request, and has never been officially available since. Lizzy Grant, where she wasn’t fully formed - even down to the spelling of her name. We’ve decided to omit her original indie debut album, 2010’s Lana Del Ray a.k.a. This list includes every commercially available Lana Del Rey song, excluding remixes, YouTube uploads, unreleased tracks, and several Great Gatsby soundtrack cuts that merely sample her voice. Here, Billboard tries to examine every facet of her identity with equal consideration - the pop star, singer-songwriter, visual artist, icon. Lana’s told so many different stories within and outside of her music, that ranking her individual songs allows a valuable opportunity to take a critical look at her entire body of work. But the last decade of popular music wouldn’t be the same without her. She’s often seemed like a figure out of her own time: a ’60s hippie, a jazz singer, an old-Hollywood icon. Now 34, she’s matured into a generational balladeer yet she’s become more down-to-earth, no longer defined by the tragic figures who once inhabited her songs. She’s influenced not just her peers, but the next generation of alternative-leaning pop stars: Lorde, Halsey, Billie Eilish, Banks, Sky Ferreira, Father John Misty, Sia, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, and now Olivia Rodrigo - but Lana Del Rey remains utterly inimitable. Without intending to, that album became one of the main catalysts for pop’s mid-2010s shift from brash EDM to a moodier, hip-hop-inflected palette. Born to Die has stayed on the Billboard 200 albums chart for almost a full decade, the second-longest charting album by a female solo artist in history.

Through all the controversies, Lana’s artistry has endured.
