Beyonce Enjoys Billboard Boost Amidst Baby Delivery Reports

For an artist who had previously been reluctant to jump on the craze that is social media, triple threat song bird Beyonce‘s online credentials are pretty impressive, to say the very least.

Indeed, with over 2 million followers despite the fact that she has never graced the world with a tweet and over 29 million ‘Likes’ on her official Facebook page,social media has slowly but surely helped to reaffirm the singer’s status as one of the world’s most celebrated women.

Now, following the false report that she had given birth to her first child with husband Jay Z, the entertainer has recently scored even more online feats.

Find out how below…

Rising  30 spots to #15 on Billboard’s Social 50 chart, whose ranks are determined by activity monitored on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, VEVO, Myspace and iLike, Carter enjoyed a whopping 146% increase in Twitter followers in the space of a week.

As if that wasn’t enough, her Twitter increase comes days after her latest album ‘4‘ enjoyed a UK sales increase, rising 14 spots in a single week in its 27th week on the Official UK Album Chart while her single ‘Best Thing I Never Had‘ rose by 40 chart positions on the country’s singles chart in the same amount of time.

Well done!

  9. aisha aguilera keys January 6, 2012

    Nice pic. Really, Sam?

  10. Fashion Hunter January 6, 2012

    That picture isn’t really Beyonce. It’s a photoshopped photo. The original stars Candice Swanpoel for Italia Vogue.

  12. RONALDMATTERS.COM January 6, 2012

    THAT IS NOT BEYONCE!!! It’s been revealed AGES ago that’s another model with Beyonce’s head pasted on. Y’all team need to GETITTOGETHER.COM

    Sam, fire these uneducated temps.

  13. Kingphoenix January 6, 2012

    That picture should have been the album cover or something…damn i gotta get a life size copy of that before i die….oh yeah congratz on the slayage as usual.

  14. Yellow Gorillah January 6, 2012

    CH…………. Just when I’m thinking her ALBUM Sales got boosted yall here talking about the Social chart like really????

    Why does TGJ Always try’s to COVER UP that beyonce is FLOPPING? This is not even news worthy but is being posted to make other people think beyonce is winning in anything …I guess some are in denial and need to be reality checked.

    I was going to say the pic slays but it’s not her so.. =/

    Anyways I see her pregnancy is yet again overshadowing this era..

    + congrats on her boost even though it’s not even the real chart’s

  15. Imgunnacheckuboo January 6, 2012

    LOL @ that pic. Anyways, nice that she’s getting a bump on the charts, I still don’t like that album though.

  16. Yellow Gorillah January 6, 2012

    + BEYONCE Needs to Stop BLEACHING!!

    How the f*** you gone be soo white that people can put your face on the body of a white women and you won’t be able to know the difference.

  17. Courtney January 6, 2012

    Bey isn’t due to give birth for another 6.75 weeks unless she has to be induced earlier for undisclosed medical reasons. why don’t we leave her alone

  18. gergerger January 6, 2012

    social media chart? really

    and ooooohhhhh no they didnt no bey stan should be celebrating her increase in the uk since apparently the us is the only one that matters!!!!

    unless you are a bey stan who is not so ignorant as to downplay any other country other than the us but when your fav does something good there you miracuously switch your story……….

  19. Oh Baby(BAD B****** IM YOUR LEADER! if he got a MANDINGO then I’ll buy him a dashiki) January 6, 2012

    @GORILLah b**** u better hush with that bleaching nonsense! Beyonce was born super light skin ok,want evidence? why don’t u check out her i was here video with baby footage of her! why is it so hard to believe that black girls can have light skin? shoot have you seen her mother? shoot,i’m half-white half black but she’s like a shade lighter than me,IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME,IT’S CALLED GENETICS! I SAY EDUCATE YOURSELF A BIT!
    ANYWAY,NOW IF THERE’S SOMEONE WHO’S DEFINITELY BEEN BLEACHING HER SKIN IT’S RIHANNA! HOW DO U GO FROM CARAMEL COMPLEXION(IN PON DE REPLAY) TO PALE WHITE(ALL RECENT APPEARANCES) ?? THAT’S RIDICULOUS!
    AND SMH IF THEY REALLY EDITED BEYONCE’S FACE TO THAT MODELS’S PHOTO! AND ALSO,her ALBUM SALES ALSO INCREASED,she went from 33 to 23 on billboard whilst rihanna fell 7-9 so….

  20. Oh Baby(BAD B****** IM YOUR LEADER! if he got a MANDINGO then I’ll buy him a dashiki) January 6, 2012

    up to number 22 actually so there u go… SALES INCREASE IN THE STATES!

  21. Girrrl January 6, 2012

    These fake charts though with that photoshopped picture. TGJ acting like Bey is flopping like her “sister” Kelly the way they creating these fake stories. Lol

    In real news: Talk that Talk will match 4’s worldwide sales next week. Not too shabby for a “flop” album.

    PS Sam whatever happened to MJB’s My Life II album? I distinctly remember an article on here praising that album for topping TTT sales one week. Looks like TTT has topped it again being its out of the top 10.

  22. Oh Baby(BAD B****** IM YOUR LEADER! if he got a MANDINGO then I’ll buy him a dashiki) January 6, 2012

    LOL @GIRRRL,SO…….TTT is gonna miraculously sell over 600k in the US by next week?? 😀 or over 400k WW? gurl,what you been smoking?? LMAO,GO TO BED HON! TTT is 2011/12’s BIGGEST FLOP!

  23. GangsterA January 6, 2012

    #Werk Bey but i hope you know that pic is fan made that’s not bey body

  24. Flashing Green January 6, 2012

    This post is so stupid and not needed

  25. MichaelAngelo January 6, 2012

    This pic is hot Bey! For all the people that are late. The industry has been tracking social media and putting that into play for award recognition for years. recognition is not all about album sales.

    congrate bey you are the best in what you do may god continue to bless you with safe healthy pregnacey and safe and healthy delevery long happy life @sam i love you you are good keep the good work

  28. JohnVidal January 6, 2012

    Sorry beyonce fans, please excuse me, @poproyalty and the rest. Really you have to excuse me but this has nothing to do with her, it´s about TGJ:
    HOW THE HELL is this important enough to praise her this way and made a whole post about it?????????? LOLOL TGJ is too much, beyonce is the only one that never ever gets shaded by TGJ. A bit of a joke. Like if the “achievements” mentioned in this post were the type of achievements Adele is reaching at the moment or something (breaking Whitney´s stunning records for album charts, etc, not the total record but you know, getting there)

    That said, she looks so great in that pic, from when is it?

  29. Jaa January 6, 2012

    Most superfluous post ever. Definition of a puff piece!! Y’all really took the time to write this non factor news??!!!
    Really?! Lmao!!

  30. Girrrl January 6, 2012

    In my opinion lil wayne had the top debut of the year because he didn’t have.the Amazon discount.

    Anyhow Rihanna sold 1.8 Milli of TTT in less than two months. 4 is at 2 Milli at 6 months. TTT is gonna match that. I’m talking about worldwide sales not the US.

  31. KAT DELUNA FAN January 6, 2012

    29 comments in and not one f***** Beyonce stan yet.

    The haters and mostly the goats are fulled in here asking why a bey post?,why not my fave?,why is she pregnant? where is she giving birth?

    And they say they dont like her and arent obsessed with her? mmmm 😕 😕 😕

  32. Bey Fan… January 6, 2012

    That mug is everything…..

    And her album did move up to #22 on the charts…… TGJ also mentioned her single and album moving up on the charts too….

    Its 2012, so Im tryin not to get in the same Beyonce vs. (insert any artist here) debate.

    Ughhh but some of you ppl make it hard….

  33. Bey Fan… January 6, 2012

    But yall dont question why there’s a post about Rihanna leaving a tattoo parlor…why there’s an entire post on which direction we think an artist should go musically (as if they read these comments )…I mean cmon kid…..

    Just to have something negative to say….smh

  34. J January 6, 2012

    beyonce is a nasty devil tramp with overrated vocals!

  35. DEREON W**** January 6, 2012

    I GUESS WITH HER FAST FOOD HITS SHE CAN STOP PERFORMING IN WALMART PARKING LOTS.

  36. Anne January 6, 2012

    To be exact, her album ‘4’ was boosted ten notches in the US on the Billboard Hot 200. So the Social chart is not the only boost in the U.S.

  37. Anne January 6, 2012

    Also ‘4’ ended up being one of the 11 albums total that sold over one million copies in the U.S. alone during the calendar year with its mid-year release.

  38. Bey’knight January 6, 2012

    lol i thought this post woulda been about the billboard chart cus 4 climbed up 11 places. It will likely fall in top 10 in d UK this weekend. She shd release D4U properly as a single. Its video gets good airplay as it is already. Anyways this isnt bad. I wont mind Bey tweetin but only on occasion. The Beyhive will take turns keepin vigil by her mentions lol.

  39. Royalkev January 6, 2012

    Yaaaay! Congrats to Bey on climbing up the social chart and on her increases on UK charts (that being clearly noted inside the article). It makes sense that people’s awareness of what’s going on with Queen Bey has had some effect on album / single sales. 🙂 It’s great news all around.

    http://www.thepagewithroyalkev.com

  40. WHUT January 6, 2012

    Kiiii I thought this was a real story.

    Poor thang having to post about the social charts cause un4seen disaster continues to give her nothing but pure floppage LOL!! On topic I cant this b**** tweeting tho. She’ll definitely leave it to a handler so as to give off “smart” to the H.I.V.S and they’ll predictably lap it all up.

  41. KAT DELUNA FAN January 6, 2012

    UK iTunes udpate:
    #13 – “Love On Top”

    #5 – “4”

    How can she sells her album without a hit is what your digital artist should try to figure it out 😕 😆

  42. just sayin January 6, 2012

    flop b****

  43. just sayin January 6, 2012

    Both Jay-Z and Beyonce have also been sued numerous times separately for stealing people’s songs and willfully robbing people in not paying them for work and services rendered. They have a long history of this misconduct as well, as evidenced by PACER’s U.S. court system records.

  44. YOOSONDALOOSE January 6, 2012

    WOW Go Bey, she is finally get the sales woo!

  45. Anne January 6, 2012

    She already had the sales. Ignore the false ‘flop’ labels from haters.

  46. pop royalty ( The BeyHive ) January 6, 2012

    WTF ?

    why my comment got REMOVED ?! 😡

    just WHY ?!

    and even @kat deluna noticed that there’s no bey stans in here , THAT’S BECAUSE THEIR COMMENTS GET REMOVED one by one. 😡

    @JOHNvidal :

    agree, and that’s why @sam removed my comment ! cuz i said :

    does it really matter ?!
    she is great regardless anything and that is not a post-worthy material to even begin with.

    @sam just kiss the HIVE’s ass ! 😡

    i agree with u !
    and i know this one will get removed too , right @sam 😉 ?!

  47. KAT DELUNA FAN January 6, 2012

    Why are some of the comments removed @Pop?

    l understand sam cause the blog is becoming so full of gibberish,fights and kids.

  48. LDN January 6, 2012

    Can i just say that that picture is BEAUTIFUL!

  49. commanderofthedancefloor January 6, 2012

    sam should hold out on all the meaningless post like this one, or rihanna getting mcdonalds, or lady gaga walking in california.

    If your Garage Door has been fixed with the presence of poles then attach the wire with
    the poles. In either case the hinge that holds the roller
    from the door panels must be removed to make the necessary
    door repair. If your garage door is old and worn out,
    a new one can do a lot to improve the look of your home.

    There are basically two options available to you that you were more profitable investing $10, 000.
    These figures will bring instant viewership for the advertisement
    as they make the ad appear more important.

    Testing is one sure way to get instant traffic and sales. Yes PPC increases your sales
    if it is accountant done with paid ads as well. By the way sometimes the only one expensive keyword appears to be more efficient when compared to five
    cheap ones. From there you can click on a PPC campaign that caters to their client’s specification.
