‘Tuck yourself in, you better hold on to your teddy- Friday the 13th and Beyonce’s playing Freddy.’
It’s happened.
No more than 24 hours after its digital release, Beyonce continues to strike fear in the hearts of many a Pop Princess today, now that her new self titled LP has rocketed to the top of iTunes USA!
Chart check below!
Currently the highest selling LP in the country, ‘Beyonce’ nows sits atop iTunes USA and iTunes R&B’s album chart, snatching the top spot away from R.Kelly‘s ‘Black Panties’.
As if that wasn’t enough to give Columbia Records cause to rejoice, the project now owns the #1 spot in 25 different markets- three of these, being Australia, France and Brazil. This, days before the project’s lead singles are sent to radio in a bid to push digital and physical copies of the release and secure the performer her first #1 single since 2008’s ‘Single Ladies.’
In other chart news, Jason Derulo‘s ‘Trumpets’ blows its way to #4 on iTunes UK’s singles chart, while Aloe Blacc‘s ‘The Man‘ sits pretty atop iTunes R&B- two spots above Sevyn Streeter‘s ‘It Won’t Stop’ which is perched 17 places above Ciara’s Gold certified smash hit, ‘Body Party’.
#NowPlaying: Elijah Blake – ‘Towers of Tokyo’…
Friday the 13th turned into a lucky day for the Hive.
You must deal. This bish turned the music industry upside down. Come hard and go home. Beyonce came and snatched every wig in the process.
30 and counting
Only a depressed and delusional homosexual would come for beyonce right now. She is winning. She won!
Beyonce is no doubt the ‘Best Living Musician’ on Earth and it has been officially stamped, sealed and assured today! Friday the 13th!
Yasss motha, give me life….btw I LOVE BLOW…iT’S THE SWEETEST IN THE MIDDLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean why would y’all ever doubt her.
I know everybody that works for Columbia records is rejoicing, Promotions for everyone!!
She just gave you haters THE biggest clap back and Im not dealing right now. I hope this is her 5th consequetivs #1 album not many female artists can boast that.
Beyonce may see her first diamond album with this, i mean Columbia did it with Adele, why can’t they do it with Beyonce.
@Richie_Rich yasss I love Blow! And rocket too.
Just WOW
Where are the haters now? I mean, really? You all have been dragging her all year just for her to drop a BOMB on yall. Beyonce Carter proved that she is STILL the queen after 16 years.
But the shade is she open 2013 WITH A BANG and she ENDING IT WITH A BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is why we call her King/Queen Beyonce’. She is a boss beesh and I live.
@xxx ….yesss she did it with this album …..I’m a happy fan. It’s just so much to take in, I can’t even focus right now.
I made another iTunes account just to purchase another copy 🙂 Loving flawless and blow. King Bey CAME FREAKING HARD,nobody was ready? She snuck up behind us and scalped us clean!!! I can’t right now,I just can’t. #BOWDOWN
Lol.
I cant at everybody thinking that what Beyonce has done is groundbreaking!!! Lmao.
Anyway, let me sit here and enjoy the delusions.
kiiiio.
Beyonce is changing the game! Who goes on tour before releasing new material? Who releases new material & videos with no warning, no promo, not even a tweet? Only Beyonce. I guess people will need new shade other than “Where is her single?”. This has been a great year, both of my girls are running the business!
Sam!you forgot to mention that it sold 80,000 FREAKING COPIES IN 24 FREAKING HOURS. @Slay_Hive bish,the f*** are you at?!? I need you here to check out this real slayage that has even the biggest of trolls bowing down as they f****** should!
All the pop singers open number 1 around the world you behive need to chill out the world has not ended the album is whack its not going to sell like adele deal with that same tired country ratched songs no growth all this is expected for her to be one around the world so what!!! Now behives take this in a good way go jump off a bridge show how much u worship beyonce dummies
SHE IS N.1 IN 47 COUNTRIES NOW!! WITH NO PROMO
It’s 31 countries now….I thought she was old and washed up? Weird
My rots are fighting for survival after being snatched so hard.
So proud of Bey! She’s just the epitome of a HARD WORKING, SUPER TALENTED artist that’s incredible and versatile in just about every way imaginable. Much sucess to her!
STFU HO!!!!! Stay mad ho
LOL CALL ME WHEN SHE CAN TOP IN 50 COUNTRIES LIKE GAGA LOL
Call me when Gaga can do over 30 countries after 16 years^^^
And the Navy was riding hard with “Where’s her new album?”
Smh, should have kept their mouths shut and enjoyed Rihanna’s reign cause B came back and killed it in one day.
66 Countries*
72 countries. @lol im calling you.
OMG..BEYONCÉ is #1 in 72 countries, i’m sorry but it’s not been 24 hours.
Why are people underestimating the first week sales? Look at eminem- 74k copies in one day and he opened with over 700k. Bey will slay in the first week and you all know that. She is coming for that fifth no 1
this album will flop.
To be the best is to compete against the best…. No one of importance has a new album out right now so this maybe another number 1 album for her but we will see what the 1st week sales will be like #SipsTea
If beyonce cared so much about sales, she would have released this on Tuesday and not on Friday, however 80k in 3 hrs is still impressive.
She still boring as hell to me.
NICKI AND RIHANA WHATCHO GON DO GIRLS ITA A WRAP!
DO YOU HOW HARD NICKI GON HAVE TO COME IN 2014 GUEST VERSUS AND ENDORSEMENTS AINT GON CUT IT BOO!!
Samantha this is NOT impressive whatsoever. It’s an expectation of any popular and well established artist( especially pop stars) to go 1# in several countries within the first and second week. Realize that all this hype is just going to lead into a huge disappointment especially with someone of her status. Sorry.
Nicki who???? its funny because I know all the other popstars katy, rihanna, gaga, are scarmbnling n having melting with their pr teams right now!! Lmfao its funny cuz i kno she did diss ish on purpose she let these bicthes think they was doin somethin then BOOM came n snatched them all up outa nowhere!!!
God please let nicki have half the slayage I feel like if they collaborated on something it would b EPIC!!!!!
but anyway congrats , gaga take notes miley it was nice knowin you, katy yo better hurry up n put out another #1 and push yo album to platinum before its to lare, rihanna I would take a break or do a movie, bieber….stop while your ahead with the music, nicki…step your cookies up n stop bragging#REINVENT YSELVESDAMMITT!!!!!
YES LORD JESUS!!
Yes, kill it Queen!!
I’m glad she did this to the music industry. It was needed. Step it up producers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m glad she did this to the music industry. It was needed. Step it up producers!!!
No more quick hits lmao!!!
I praise Beyoncé for releasing an album by surprise. She is focusing on nothing but the music. No media, no press, no hype, no 10 second previews. She is releasing it as a whole to re establish the beauty, the importance and the sincerity of her musical vision. She is an inspiration to everyone. Go Beyonce, Do your thing, cause it’s working and your making history.
With no promo at all, “Beyonce” is on it’s way to the #1 spot on billboard 200. Now that’s how you do it. A real pop legend.
In your dreams (it will flop) but you know what it comes to a time where you have to wake up and face reality
I sorry for Ciara who have a self-titled Album like Beyonce. Beyonce just finished her. Poor CiCi try again but it won’t work.
340k in just 13hours……… You girls are only dragging yourselves!!!!!!
This is a platinum album debut!!
Hmm chile wait until sales come out then we can talk
The message in PRETTY HURTS must make it a single right.
Make smart choices but the GREAT thing with this project is it caters to pop & urban
Wonderful blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thanks
