Lana Del Rey has achieved so much fame in her career, and recently she has received a new one. Her hauntingly famous ballad, Video Games has been named song of the decade at the Q Awards in London.

The ceremony was held yesterday where the news has been announced, along with all the other nominees and winners of different categories.

“I’m so honoured. This is unreal,” said the star, who accepted the prize via video link.

Released in 2011, Video Games was initially rejected by dozens of record labels, who said it was too long, too moody, and lacked the drums it needed to get played on the radio.

But it became the singer’s breakthrough hit, reaching number nine in the UK.

“I just can’t tell you how much this means,” the star said in her acceptance speech. “I got my start in London so I wish I could be there, but I’m there in spirit.”
