SINGER Lana Del Rey has completed her transformation from a YouTube star to global chart topper.
Her debut album Born to Die, one of the most anticipated albums of 2012, has so far sold 800,000 copies, topping charts in six European countries including France, Britain and Germany, and ranking second in the United States.
Eighty million people have viewed the 25-year-old's videos on YouTube, their number rising by 10 million every week, her record company Universal said.
She sold 327k first week which is still really impressive considering this is her debut album and she has no hit single in the US and Japan (biggest markets in the world).
