Lana Del Rey, Stove and a platinum milestone in Germany
Published on 08/22/2026 at 11:42 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Lana Del Rey is edging closer to releasing her long-awaited country-inspired album Stove. According to a July 16, 2026 report in The Fader, she said the record is nearly finished and that a second, companion album will be completed at the same time before both are sent to vinyl.
What we know about Stove in 2026
The path to Stove has been unusually complex for Lana Del Rey’s standards. As Our Culture and other outlets have summarized, the project began life under titles like Lasso, The Right Person Will Stay and even Classic before settling on its current name, with Del Rey telling W Magazine that the album would likely arrive at the end of January 2026.
An early 2026 update on IMDb reiterated that Stove is her tenth studio album and is now expected in the first part of 2026, after earlier planned dates in 2024 and 2025 slipped, marking one of the more drawn-out rollouts in her catalog compared with the relatively straightforward campaigns for records like Norman Fucking Rockwell!.
Anniversary angle – Born To Die’s German strength
While fans wait for the new material, Lana Del Rey’s debut album Born To Die continues to show remarkable staying power in Germany more than a decade after its original 2012 release. The Official German Charts list the record still inside the Top 100 albums as of mid-January 2026, with a chart run of nearly 300 weeks and a peak at Number 1.
On the certification side, BVMI’s April 2024 report lists Born To Die as nine-times Gold in Germany, corresponding to 900,000 album-equivalent units, while trade magazine MusikWoche reported in March 2026 that Universal Music registered five-times Platinum for the same album, indicating it has now crossed the symbolic one million mark in German sales and streams.

Where Lana Del Rey’s music stands now
Artistically, Stove is expected to lean much more heavily into country and Americana textures than Del Rey’s earlier cinematic pop and rock albums. Reports in Fader and Flood Magazine describe a focus on acoustic arrangements, storytelling rooted in the American South and collaborations with her close-knit circle of writers and family members, including Chuck Grant and Jason Pickens.
At the same time, her catalog continues to function as a long-tail presence on German charts. Besides Born To Die, midweek data from GfK Entertainment in January 2026 shows Ultraviolence reappearing in the lower reaches of the Album-Midweek chart, underlining how German listeners keep rediscovering her older records as anticipation for the new material builds.
What’s next for Lana Del Rey
As of August 22, 2026, there is no officially announced future concert date for Lana Del Rey listed on her own website or major ticketing platforms, and the next confirmed milestone is the completion and release of Stove and its companion album, which she has said will follow after the vinyl masters are finalized.
