Marina Diamandis, AKA Marina And The Diamonds has scored her first Official Number 1 album.
The half Welsh / half Greek singer’s second album, Electra Heart, featuring Top 20 single Primadonna, claims first place today ahead of Lana Del Rey’s Born To Die (Number 2) – toppling last week’s chart topper Jack White from the summit of the Official Albums Chart.
The news will certainly cheer up Diamandis who was forced to postpone her upcoming UK tour earlier this week after being advised by doctors to rest her voice or risk permanently damaging her vocal chords. Marina And The Diamonds’ debut album, The Family Jewels, peaked at Number 5 when it was released in 2010.
Jack White’s critically-acclaimed Blunderbuss takes third place, while US singer songwriter Norah Jones is the second highest new entry of the week at Number 4 with new offering Little Broken Hearts. Adele’s mega-selling second album, 21, completes this week’s Official Albums Chart Top 5.

Both these albums are AMAZING! so happy right now
I've already grown tired of Lana's album. It's not one of those albums you'll be playing for years and years. It loses it's touch after a while tbh, but I still like it.
i still listen to video games and dark paradise from time to time...but that's about it.
i deleted most of her stuff from my playlist :/
i'm already tired of marina's and i listen to lana's all the time

i think it has long-term listening potential
have not heard the marina album and dont think i will
Lana i've cooled off of though, i'm less ashamed about liking some of the the songs on her album
lol i haven't touched lana's album in months now. oop

A lot of the reviewers didn't even bother to research the concept of Electra Heart.
I do still listen to Lana's album,, but not as much as when it first came out.
i just can't get into her
I haven't heard Marina's album, but from Lana's I love Radio (though it's a tough choice because I ♥ ♥ ♥ the whole album except Carmen).
IDGAF about LanaDark Paradise is every fucking thing omg, why didn't I download this album before.Primadonna, Idle Teen, and Power and control are tied for my fav track off of EH
