Lana Del Rey has set a new record today as the artist with the most No. 1 albums on Billboard’s Alternative Albums chart, Billboard reports. Her new album Blue Banisters is her sixth to achieve that chart position. It also breaks her out of a previous three-way tie with Foo Fighters and Coldplay, who have both had five career No. 1 albums on the chart. Blue Banisters is Lana’s second album to achieve that top spot this year after her March release Chemtrails Over the Country Club.
