Del Rey’s "Beach" blasts in at No. 7 on the Hot 100, launching at No. 1 on Digital Songs with 248,000 sold to become her first Digital Songs No. 1 (and score the alt-pop singer-songwriter her best sales week for a download). The cut also drew 2.4 million streams in its first week of availability; with its official video having premiered Aug. 13, it should grow in streams following a full first week of clicks, to be reflected on next week’s charts.

"Beach" starts as the Hot 100′s second-highest debut of 2015; only One Direction’s "Drag Me Down" made a grander entrance, arriving at No. 3 last week. (This week, "Drag" plummets to No. 27, down by 82 percent to 63,000 sold after its highly-anticipated 350,000-unit debut last week.) Del Rey instantly adds her second Hot 100 top 10, following "Summertime Sadness" (with Cedric Gervais), which reached No. 6 in September 2013.

"Beach" previews Del Rey’s third full-length studio album (Honeymoon, arriving arrive Sept. 18). "Honeymoon" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard + Twitter Top Tracks chart dated Aug. 1.
