    7. Chemtrails Over The Country Club (2021)

    Interscope/Polydor

    You knew this would be last. I love a few songs from this album and it's not THAT bad — some people are just dramatic — but this is her least popular album so it must be in the No. 7 spot. I see the idea that Lana was going for and I personally enjoyed it but maybe it is just ahead of its time.

    6. Blue Banisters (2021)

    Interscope/Polydor

    Blue Banisters is at No. 6. This album was very impressive, ESPECIALLY after COTCC. I listened to it from start to finish and there isn't a single song I hate (except maybe the interlude but that's not a big deal) but this album just wasn't AS popular as the others. A lot of people also criticized the album cover but it's literally just Lana and I think it looks great and it suits the album well.

    5. Honeymoon (2015)

    Honeymoon deserves No. 5 because yes, it is a great album and it slaps, it's just not as popular (it definitely deserves better, though). Tbh, we were still listening to BTD in 2015. This was ahead of its time.

    4. Lust For Life (2017)

    cover for "Lust for Life," where Lana wears her hair down in waves, with daisies in her hair and a lace dress
    Polydor/Interscope/Urban

    This album earned its No. 4 ranking because it introduced a new side of Lana. It features artists like A$AP Rocky and The Weeknd and has some nice beats. "Cherry" and "In My Feelings" are some of the prettiest love songs from Lana on here.

    3. Norman F*cking Rockwell! (2019)

    cover for "Norman Fucking Rockwell!" where lana and a man are on a sailboat and she reaches toward us
    Polydor/Interscope

    NFR is ranked at No. 3 because it is such a "feel-good" album. Songs like "California," "The Greatest," and "How To Disappear" have such good instrumentals that you can really vibe with — especially "The Greatest."

    2. Ultraviolence (2014)

    cover for "ultraviolence" wear she wears a v-neck t-shirt and leans on an open car door
    Polydor/Interscope

    Ultraviolence is ranked at No. 2 because it is her most beautiful album. This is my most favorite Lana album and it features fun songs such as "Florida Kilos" and "West Coast." Lana's amazing vocals are featured most beautifully in "Shades Of Cool" and "Black Beauty." I am personally in love with every song on this album. It would be No. 1 but the classic BTD deserves it more. Second is one of the best, though.

    1. Born To Die (2012)

    cover for "Born to die," where she wears a peter pan collar shirt, wavy hair, hoop earrings, stares us down
    Stranger/Interscope/Polydor

    BTD is ranked at No. 1 because this is such a classic album. "Summertime Sadness" is one of Lana's most popular songs and it came from this album. I think it deserves number one because it features "Carmen," "National Anthem," and "Video Games" — some of the best of classic Lana.
