Despite the claims of Lana Del Rey's new single 'High By The Beach' saying she had sold 248,000 copies during its short first week of release, the actual total sold is a lot less than that.

Nielsen Music confirmed yesterday (August 18) that the song actually only shifted 67,000 copies during that tracking week, and so instead of coming in at #7 on the chart as predicted, she instead debuts at #51 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Meanwhile, OMI reached the top of the charts with his infectious summer tune 'Cheerleader' after slotting in at number two the week before, pushing last week's chart-topper The Weeknd down to his former slot with 'Can't Feel My Face'.

Silento is at number three with 'Watch Me', with Major Lazer, DJ Snake and M0 at four with 'Lean On' and The Weeknd making a second appearance to round out the top five with 'The Hills'.

Rachel Platten rises to six with 'Fight Song' with Fetty Wap taking both seven and eight with 'Trap Queen' and 'My Way' featuring Monty respectively. Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood' holds in there at number 9 with Selena Gomez's 'Good For You' finishing the top 10.
