Del Ray tops US chart with new track

The pop noir singer Lana Del Rey enjoyed a flurry of interest as she debuted a song from her upcoming album that returns to themes of rough, troubled love.

Honeymoon, the title track from the New York-born singer's upcoming album, soared on Wednesday to the top of the Billboard Trending 140 list within hours of its release.

By late in the day, Honeymoon was overtaken by the latest single of teen pop star Austin Mahone on the chart, which ranks songs by the frequency of shares on Twitter.
