Halsey is celebrating a decade of Badlands in a big way. The diamond-certified, Grammy-nominated artist has released Badlands Decade Edition, Badlands: Live From Webster Hall, and Badlands: Anthology—three special anniversary projects out now via UMe/Astralwerks/Capitol Records. The releases honor the tenth anniversary of her groundbreaking debut album, a record that redefined pop and introduced the world to one of its most fearless voices.
The milestone follows the conclusion of Halsey’s record-breaking For My Last Trick Tour, the best-selling tour of her career. Reflecting on the anniversary, Halsey shared, “I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. So much has happened in the last decade, but Badlands remains the most exciting musical journey of my life. I have so many unbelievable things planned for this month to celebrate the album that changed my life and introduced me to the fans I’ll love forever. This is just the beginning.”
Originally released on August 28, 2015, Badlands became an instant phenomenon. It has since sold over three million albums adjusted in the U.S. and earned more than nine billion on-demand streams worldwide. Every song on the album has been certified gold, platinum, or multi-platinum by the RIAA, cementing its place among the most successful debut albums in pop history.
Badlands: Anthology arrives as a triple-disc vinyl, featuring orchestral versions, never-before-heard demos, official remixes, and rare recordings that trace the evolution of Halsey’s earliest vision. Paired with Badlands Decade Edition and the live album Badlands: Live From Webster Hall, the new collection offers fans the definitive look at the project that started it all—a complete sonic time capsule of Halsey’s artistic beginnings and enduring influence.
A decade later, Badlands still feels vital, defiant, and entirely its own. With this trilogy of releases, Halsey invites fans to revisit where it all began—and see just how far the journey has come.
