Not nearly as radio-friendly, Lana Del Rey’s “West Coast” will doubtfully rival the longevity of previous single “Summertime Sadness.”<\/p>\n
But, per Billboard’s weekly digital sales report, it got off to a stronger start than that single–and any other single released by the singer-songwriter.<\/p>\n
Number six on the weekly digital sales chart, Lana’s “West Coast” secured 118,000 paid downloads in its inaugural period of availability. It was the strongest debut-week sales total for a Lana Del Rey single.<\/p>\n
The single, which has predictably lost its top ten positioning on the iTunes Sales Chart (it is currently #56), begins the build towards Del Rey’s new album “Ultraviolence.”<\/p>\n
— Also on the digital sales chart:\u00a0 With sales of 274,000, Pharrell’s “Happy” scores a 10th week at number one.\u00a0 Its reign ties that of Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” which featured the “Happy” singer.<\/p>\n
