Lana Del Rey’s “Henry, Come On” debuts on 10 Billboard charts, reaching the top 10 on two … More
Lana Del Rey returns to the Billboard charts this week with her new single “Henry, Come On” — and she makes quite the entrance. The track doesn’t just appear on one or two tallies…it debuts on 10 different rankings at once. That’s a solid showing for a song that hasn’t yet become a runaway smash, but thanks to its cross-genre appeal, it manages to score an impressive number of placements across a wide range of lists.
Sales and Streaming Power “Henry, Come On”
“Henry, Come On” performs so well right out of the gate for two primary reasons. First, the single sold well enough to earn a spot on rankings that focus specifically on digital purchases, and it was streamed in solid numbers too, which brought it to tallies dedicated to those forms of consumption.
Billboard classifies “Henry, Come On” as both rock and alternative. That genre flexibility means the track can appear on tallies focused on each of those musical styles individually, as well as on combined rock and alternative rankings. It even reached some non-genre-specific lists.
Lana Del Rey’s New Single Launches on the Rock Charts
While “Henry, Come On” reaches double-digit Billboard rankings in its debut frame, it manages to crack the top 10 on just two of them. The track starts at No. 4 on the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart and at No. 5 on the Rock Digital Song Sales list. Somewhat surprisingly, though, the tune doesn’t sell quite enough to land on the all-genre Digital Song Sales tally this week.
According to Luminate, “Henry, Come On” sold 1,300 copies in the U.S. during its first full tracking frame. That figure is enough to make Del Rey’s latest a top seller in her primary genres, but not quite enough to compete with the biggest releases across all styles at the moment.
Lana Del Rey’s Modest Debut on the Hot 100
“Henry, Come On” barely sneaks onto the Hot 100. The cut debuts at No. 90 this week, showing that while it’s a bestseller in its genres and a fairly strong streamer, it hasn’t yet crossed over and become a broader, mainstream hit, at least not yet.
“Henry, Come On” Previews Lana Del Rey’s New Album
“Henry, Come On” serves as the lead single from Del Rey’s forthcoming album, which has gone through some notable changes recently. The full-length was originally titled Lasso, then briefly retitled The Right Person Will Stay. Now, it seems that the country hybrid set — one that will reportedly blend elements of Del Rey’s signature sound with country influences — has changed names once again and currently doesn’t have an official release date.
Just one week after “Henry, Come On” arrived, Del Rey dropped “Bluebird,” the second single from the still-untitled project. That track is expected to hit the Billboard charts in the coming days.
