Congratulations are, once again, in order for Beyonce.

The chart force continues to dominate with her self-titled visual album, which today saw its latest single become VEVO Certified.

Details after the jump…

Extending the song’s reign of success, this week saw its accompanying clip officially cross the 100 million views mark on VEVO – a feat which has earned it “certified” status.

The achievement brings King B’s VEVO Certified tally up to seven, a list that includes the visuals for ‘Single Ladies’ and ‘Irreplaceable’.

As at writing, ‘Drunk’ sits at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 – where it’s highest peak was #2.

    Lol CRTFY got 100 million views weeks ago. Beyonce is a tour queen but she is not a digital artist. But she is way above her peers when it comes to stage presence.

  13. Lolz March 1, 2014

    The fact that so many had this video on the album before is great. Oh and Rihanna fans keep it cute shading with VEVO views looks rather like a struggle.

  25. Tef March 1, 2014

    LMFAOOOO….that flop video just went to 1milli?! LMFAOOOO Beyaki so desperately trying to top Rihanna’s success. YES, Rihanna’s success. Add the numbers. Beyaki is struggling on every account. Posting Instagram pics, showing more as& and more as& more than we need to see of her old lady self.

    She claims she’s about selling albums and hasn’t sold one darn diamond album since she’s been dropping the rocks. She’s still boring and will always be boring.

    explain why Rihanna is an icon and Beyaki is not???????

  26. Tef March 1, 2014

    Oh and why all of a sudden does her VEVO numbers matter? Oh, RIhanna, that’s why. Beyaki is trying to prove she’s better than the best. Too late, should’ve done that before Lady Gaga stole her shine and gave it back while RIhanna is making the right kind of industry moves…LMFAOOOO

    Bye Beyaki!

  27. fatusankoh March 1, 2014

    congrant queen bey the on and only hatters have noting on you thanks Sam for posting

  28. Kitty March 1, 2014

    Wow Sam you want us to give her a cookie or something? It took her long enough, the younger girls can get a 100 mill Vevo certification in a week. Miley,Rihanna,Nicki, Taylor etc… so this is nothing special.

  29. King B Agent (Blue Ivy Brother) March 1, 2014

    Not at Rihanna stans trying to bring up that video with Shakira.. Please they had to touch on each other to get them views. Rihanna have about a billion views on her channel so of course she going to have a lot of videos. Sit the f*** down and stop hating. Meanwhile rihanna have to make pop songs to stay relevant.. How about do reggae or R&B. Oh my bad the world would not care for you if you does those genre.

  30. Molly March 1, 2014

    Took long enough tbh with all the hype you think it would have done this in 2 weeks.

  31. Molly March 1, 2014

    Calling Ciara a t***** when she’s pregnant makes you look more pathetic then you already are @DiggerBey

  32. King B Agent (Blue Ivy Brother) March 1, 2014

    @KITTY All them you just named does Pop Music so of course it will do that Much and dumb ass this video would have been certified since December if everyone didn’t already had the video!!!!

  33. King B Agent (Blue Ivy Brother) March 1, 2014

    Not at a ciara fan coming for youtube views when Beyonce Drunk in Love already have more views than Body Flop and sold more than Body Flop. @Molly have several seats

  34. Hivy March 1, 2014

    The Irony is that Can’t Remember to Forget You has more views but still hasn’t passed Drunk In Love on hot 100. Stop bragging about vevo views cause it makes ya’ll look worse.

  35. King B Agent (Blue Ivy Brother) March 1, 2014

    Beyonce new album outsold Rihanna, Katy, Nicki Lorde,Ciara, Kelly, etc lol. Only Navy worried about how successful you are on youtube. LMFAO

  36. Tef March 1, 2014

    @KingBAgent, Pop my as&. Beyaki so desperate for a Pop #1 single. She bought and paid for the grammy slot and got a grammy bounce on the charts, then it dropped back to that 8 rock spot, then valentines day tickled it to #5. LMFAO, then pop here comes partition where she looks like an old struggle aunt trying to upstage her niece. Katy, Miley, Rihanna, are chart movers and shakers.

    H** can celebrate until the return of Christ but Beyaki is playing catch up chasing the young thangs. LMFAOOOOO

    RIhanna is an ICON Beyaki is NOT. Please explain and before you say beyaki sells albums, please indicate how many have sold Diamond. NOT ONE!!!!!!

  37. King B Agent (Blue Ivy Brother) March 1, 2014

    Why have Body Flop sold less than 97,000 copies???

  38. Mark111 March 1, 2014

    Don’t come for Molly when Beyonce took from Ciara on more than one occasion.

    Like a boy > Upgrade U
    Love S** and Magic > Partition

  39. Molly March 1, 2014

    @KingBAgent Nah bitchh you sit tf down Ciara isn’t getting all the hype and media attention Beyonce is getting therefore i would have been thought this video would have been vevo certified.

  40. Tef March 1, 2014

    @KingBAgent, LOL, album sales doesn’t make pop stars, singles do so Beyaki and her H.I>V click can save that party because it’s tardy too.
    LMFAO

    Katy, RIhanna’s #1 singles are staking and racking up and Beyaki does NOT like that one bit.

    When that wack weak single went to #2, oh boy. oh boy…if it had gone to #1, then singles would mean everything because Beyaki would be Kang of #1s. Yeah, right.

    Let Beyaki keep pretending she doesn’t need a #1 single, it would mean everything to her career. Everything.

    Beyaki’s one album all of a sudden means she’s #1 on some platform? Only in the head of her delusional stans. Beyaki has been a flop for the past years. She’s just failing to stage the comeback because them young pop thangs stole her shine a looooooong time ago. LMFAOOOOO

    aunty beyaki might as well stay on tour because even when she’s in sight the media really doesn’t care. Beyaki is OLD, really OLD news.

  41. Molly March 1, 2014

    @Mark111 Exactly Black Twitter already clocked her for stealing from Ciara.

    @KingB dumbass body party has sold over 600k copies

  42. King B Agent (Blue Ivy Brother) March 1, 2014

    @TEF Please b**** are you serious?? EVERY TIME RIHANNA DOES A NAKED VIDEO SHE GET CRITIZED AS BYE THE GENERAL PUBLIC. ALSO THE PARTITION VIDEO HAS BEEN PRAISE BY CNN AND ABC ALSO WORLD NEWS. Also I am sasha fierce is diamond in Brazil. There go your diamond album boo boo. You mad or nah? And you talking about bEYONCE TRYING TO CATCH UP REALLY? Beyonce could just release a single by it’s self before the album and outsell rihanna. The fact that Drunk In Love is selling great without being pop speak volumes. Oh and about that icon award, Beyonce received her legend award from the AMA’S i know you remember when Rihanna was crying while beyonce accept in 2007. Also another legend awards at THE BILLBOARD AWARDS AND THE WORLD MUSIC AWARD. NOW LIKE I SAID YOU MAD OR NAH?

  43. King B Agent (Blue Ivy Brother) March 1, 2014

    BLACK TWITTER? GIRL PLEASE BLACK TWITTER DON’T CARE S*** ABOUT CIARA OR THEY WOULD BUY HER S***. THAT BODY FLOP BEEN OUT SINCE 2012 AND HAVE YET TO REACH PLATINUM

  44. slay_hive March 1, 2014

    Congrats to Beyonce, being that many already have the video and the video didnt have a PROMOTED release date like CRTFY. She also didn’t have to pretend to be a lesbian for vevo hits either!! 😀

    Congrats. Nothin major 😉

  45. Tef March 1, 2014

    S**** Hive, not true, you all started watching the video MORE when the single dropped from #2, to 8. LMFAOOOO people know the truth.

    So now because people own it is why it took 2 years to go 100milli? YOu all are full of excuses, you are assuming that everybody bought the album and that was not the case. LOL!

  46. Tef March 1, 2014

    Fact, the video stalled at 74million views even when CRTFY passed 100milli. There was no major promo for that single

    Hey, at least Rihanna can afford a poor performing single. NO damage to her ego unlike Beyaki who got pregnant, well faked a pregnancy after 4 flopped. Face it, Beyaki is tired and boring and now chasing young pop thangs and social media. But nobody care, it’s about Miley RIhanna and Katy. Beyaki will force everyone to pay attention to her and then she’s quickly forgotten.

  47. Tef March 1, 2014

    Most #1 singles Mariah and Rihanna
    Diamond album sellers, Britney, Janet, Madonna, GAGA, Adele
    Hype: Beyaki is #1

    Beyaki is where on the above lists?

  48. Applause March 1, 2014

    Meanwhile XO only has 28 million views i love how yall pay that song dust while supporting this trash.

  49. oh baby(b****** will bow down and deal) March 1, 2014

    @Mark111 Negro please! you’re reaching for the heavens with those void comparisons! Like a boy and Upgrade u were probably shot during the same time! those videos were released in Feb 2007 only two days apart! so how the f*ck did Bey copy Ciara?
    As for partition and LS&M you know damn well Bey’ video had nothing to do with that song! Stop it

  50. Applause March 1, 2014

    162 million YouTube views and your telling me can’t remember to purchase you can’t crack top 10? kiiii

  51. slay_hive March 1, 2014

    TEF, honey what are you talking about?? The views increased after the grammys. The grammys gave the song more exposure. It only took two months to reach this milestone which is still great, being that MILLIONS of people have the VISUAL album! 😉

    Secondly CRTFY WAS promoted for weeks. Teasers of the video, pictures and a vevo release date. Let’s not forget the lesbian issue that got press. ALL of that helped. The song is a FLOP! They had to do something to get the GP watching. DIL will eventually pass that video in views. 😉

    Beyonce’s 4 had poor performing singles on pop radio but still sold what Rihanna sells with her pop records, outsold her tour with that album and won a grammy with that album. Beyonce’s ego is fine. Could rihanna do the same????? NO kii

    BYE

  52. Applause March 1, 2014

    Beyonce has been copying Ciara its a known fact. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bey sabotage Ciaras career.

  53. slay_hive March 1, 2014

    5 #1 singles 15 Million U.S.

    13 #1 singles 7 albums 10 Million U.S.

    I think we all know whi is “hyped”. I guess people don’t take her serious enough to buy her albums 🙁

  54. Tyler March 1, 2014

    Rihanna can do this in a week? B**** Beyonce can sell 1 million albums in a week. Ur point?

  55. Tef March 1, 2014

    @Tyler, then after she sells 1 million albums then what? What’s album sales without hit songs, by hit #1 singles because read the headlines the rage is about #1 singles, not album sales. That is old news like Beyaki’s hype.

    She’s doing the most of everything to prove something that is not clear. The album and video has not made the song #1 which is her mission. Don’t try to convince us beyaki is all about album sales because if that were the case she wouldn’t have treated it like a mattress she would have taken a chance with a strong lead single, but nope, nope,nope, she tricked you and now all you do is sit around bashing Rihanna because that album is trash and Rihanna is more interesting and keeps your attention. Not to mention she’s the world pop ICON!!!!! What’s Beyaki’s excuse again why she’s not and RIhanna has more #1 singles.

  56. Tef March 1, 2014

    @Tyler, the fact Rihanna is an ICON and and the reigning world pop icon with more #1 singles regardless of the number of albums…..ends all arguments.

    The question remains then why does Beyaki only have 5??? Save the excuse.

    When Beyaki catches up to RIhanna then we will have a debate. Until then, That Rihanna Reign ain’t lettin up.

    lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  57. slay_hive March 1, 2014

    Beyonce’s DIL peaked @ #2 and is still in the top ten after a month. Sounds like a HIT to me, but I forgot #1’s are all that matter to the navy, regardless of how WACK the song is(Monster) kii

    Her album will outsell UNAFLOP in a few weeks. Only took her a few months and she doesn’t have a number 1 single that is so GLORIOUS to the navy! kii

    WTF is a #1 if it’s not selling your album?

    Beyonce hasn’t even been promoting. I don’t see how she is doing the most to get a #1. She is slaying EFFORTLESSLY, while others sit on twitter and
    instagram begging fans to purchase their s***! LOOOOL

    Beyonce could have released a single instead of an album to itunes and it would have SHOT to #1. BUT unlike her untalented lessors she was more concerned with an entire body of work.

    Sn: Rihanna keeps are attention but you’re on a Beyonce post venting about her? LOL OK

  58. slay_hive March 1, 2014

    Rihanna releases more albums and singles than Beyonce. Her albums are more catered to top 40 radio. In other words, an album full of singles. Kii

    Her album sales should be millions ahead of Beyonce since she has more albums and hits but she’s not. 🙁 Isn’t she a pop icon???

    Beyonce doesn’t have to catch up to her and her meaningless singles, She is already considered a budding legend and LIVING ICON. Almost two decades in this, showing NO signs of slowing down. *blows kiss*

    BTW you say BEYONCE is garbage but it has an 86 on metacritic. Higher than any rihanna album 😉

  59. Kyle March 1, 2014

    But where is Can’t Remember to Purchase you on the charts tho?

  60. Kyle March 1, 2014

    Besides the fact this video is ALREADY on the album. Beyonce has better receipts she can back this era up with. She has got critical acclaim (85 on metacrituc which is more than Rihtards entire discography AND the commercial success) If only Rihannas superiority and FREE VEVO views translated into her sales aswell huh?

  61. Kyle March 1, 2014

    And did the Ciara fan have ther nerve to say ‘it took her long enough’ when its already surpassed Body Party in views and sales.

  62. Vee March 1, 2014

    The Nazi’s have been seething so much this era over Beys success.

    Most #1 singles Mariah and Rihanna
    Diamond album sellers, Britney, Janet, Madonna, Adele
    Hype: Beyaki is #1

    Beyaki is where on the above lists?

    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Beyaki has sold more albums than 3 of these
    Beyaki is a bigger touring artist than all but 1 of these
    Beyaki is a better and faster money-maker than all but 1 of these

    So yeah

  64. BEYHIVE_MINAJ March 1, 2014

    I’m sorry,but I have to say this. Why do Ciara fans keep saying that Bey swagger jacked Ciara when:
    Bey had the blonde hair first
    Ciara’s bull-riding concept in “Ride” was from Beyonce’s “Suga Mama”
    Ciara sitting on a chair looking like a dude and all was from Bey’s “Upgrade U” when she was looking like Jay
    And before Partition,Ciara was slammed on LSM for trying to copy Beyonce

    Let’s not C-Squad

  65. Tef March 1, 2014

    Beyaki is a has-been old lady flop.

    Her success and only success is HYPE.

    She is touring for eternity just to rack up the #s to prove she’s good at something.

    LMAO. Can’t remember to forget you…do you see anybody pressed over that single?

    Drunk song is a flop, it did NOT go to the #1, stop acting like you all weren’t bracing yourselves for the top spot. LMFAOOO

    Twist and turn the numbers those numbers, pad those egos like beyaki’s padded as&, oops, forgot she’s getting but shots now and posting pics of her Uranus on Instagram now. LMFAOOOOOO NOW WHY IS SHE DOING ALL OF THIS? TO sell albums, of course. If her name alone an lack of hits were enough to sell albums she’d do noothing but sell albums. BUt that is not the case.

    Stop acting like Rihanna or Miley Katy are competing with old lady Beyaki. They are not her understudies…she’s studying them…FACT!

  66. BEYHIVE_MINAJ March 1, 2014

    @Slay Hive
    Notice how the navy suddenly claim CRTFY as Shakira’s song once it flopped. Weren’t they calling it her 14th number 1 a few weeks before it came out and overshadowed Shakira?

  67. BEYHIVE_MINAJ March 1, 2014

    So,just cause a #2 song didn’t go number 1 means it’s a flop? Chile these haters. I can’t imagine the pain they’re going through right now.

  68. slay_hive March 1, 2014

    An old has-been flop that is outselling the new girls! kii That makes NO sense honey!

    She released an album with no promotion, hardly see that as “hype”

    Her tour already outgrossed Rihanna’s in 2013. The 2014 tour is for her NEW album. Will break her own record AGAIN! kii

    Ya’ll know CRTFY is GARBAGE. and it didn’t go to number 1. ya’ll can pretend it never happened BUT according to ya’ll it was supposed to be the 14th #1?!!! GUESSS NOTTT. 😉

    Drunk in Love is still a hit. Reaching platinum sales, and the parent album is STILL outselling UNAFLOP! BLOOP! kii

    Continue clinging to those #1’s , while her album sales continue to dissapoint! that’s all ALIENanna is good for. A quick hit that the girls forget by next week! LOOOL

    Beyonce has outsold all the girls you named. That “has been” broke a touring record 17 years into her career.kiii I guess when Beyonce “strips” she does it BETTER! LOL

  69. slay_hive March 1, 2014

    @BeyHiveMinaj

    Yes that’s fresh navi, hiding behind another name. SHE was the MAIN one saying CRTDY was going to be #1. Everything the alien touches doesn’t turn to gold. They will realize real soon. EDM is dying out and Rihanna’s album sales are decreasing. She was scared to compete with Bey, that’s why there is still no new album!

    I wonder what the excuse will be when Beyonce gets a #1 single soon??? Beyonce will always keep them pressed. She will still be here long after Rihanna’s popularity has ran it’s course. 😉

  70. RICHIE_RICH March 1, 2014

    The Nazi are upset. Let them seethe!!!!

  71. BEYHIVE_MINAJ March 1, 2014

    @Slay Hive
    GURL,We all know what the excuse will be. “She bought that number 1”

  72. slay_hive March 1, 2014

    Okay as much as Bey “buy” her accolades, she should be as poor as Rihanna(the pop icon) lmao

  73. Rosie March 1, 2014

    Kii at the fumes. Every time a Rihfund video hits 100 million they want to brag about the “queen of VEVO” yet they want to claim that it doesn’t matter for Beyoncé.

  74. DIGGER BEY March 1, 2014

    That Raggedy H** @ Molly is so OBSESSED WITH ME LMAO. And why is that Whoreianna stan bragging about an Icon award? F*g its an made up award for her single sales. If Katy wouldve got 13 first. Her ass probably wouldve got that same ol award. Nobody in the business looks at her as a Icon but her Rihc*nts. I guessed u didn’t know THE QUEEN already received The Legend Award in the IASF era and also was the first woman to receive AMA’S International Sales of Excellence! People also refer to her as a Icon and living legend. #WHEN WILL R****

  75. speechless March 1, 2014

    Every video rihanna, katy perry and others put out do the same thing in less time but because its a beyonce video we’re supposed to care? #FAIL

  76. Hivy March 1, 2014

    LMAO how is Bey copying Ciara? When Ciara stole Body Party video from Beyoncé’s Naughty Girl. I can POST receipts if I want.

  77. DIGGER BEY March 1, 2014

    ^^^^THE QUEEN’s album sold faster copies than any Hoeianna, Katy and any other poptart’s album in less time. You should care. #BYE EPIC FAIL B*TCH

  78. QUEEN MINAJ♥ March 1, 2014

    I am sorry but whio is ciara? Does that b**** have 100 million views on VEVO?

  79. QUEEN MINAJ♥ March 1, 2014

    anyways congratz to beyonce. But I do not know why this is a news I mean every famouse artist gets 100 million views on vevo. It´s nothing new.
