SIMPLY STAR POWER GREAT MUSIC THE LOVE OF THE PEOPLE THE LOVE OF MUSIC >>> 6 consecutive #1 ALBUMS
DROPS MIC?
Yaassss, Chile. I absolutely adore the line before you dropped the mic.
I ENDORSE THIS MESSAGE. ?
IDIOT
Dumba** this is only FOUR days worth of sales…
While those are good numbers its not great because of her status according to the hives adele did 3.8million in a week both of them on the same record label she should have done 1 million tops and streaming is helping her too
She didn’t have a full week of sales (lost 3 days) and also had it available for free streaming for 24 hours. So with those considered this is still amazing. Without those things, had she released on Friday straight to iTunes, it would’ve sold at least 1 million.
All I can say say is,certain artist better thank God for streaming…
Flooooooop!!!!!Rotfl.
Slay.
Adele sold 900k in a day. She still a cracker lesser that cannot go diamond.
Adele is everything she sells on talent alone no foolish drama people caught up in the hype but bey quality of music really sucks I hate to say it but there are a lot of black women who can really sing with a great voice tell stories in a song Beyonce should thank her lucky star because of that blond wig and light skin people especially white accept her bey music really sucks tamar and hood k Michelle have better music even Kelly bey is like Kim k no real talent yet overated light skin with features society accepts
So she’s is about to break a record that she set for BEYONCÉ????? QUEEN!!!!!!!! ONLY female artists to go #1 with her first 6 ALBUMS!!
So not the million copies the hive+ said..not even the 800k they predicted either . views is gonna slay it
Views is NOT going to outsell LEMONADE people are already calling it a FLOP. He released too many albums back to back. SORRY NOT SORRY!! ????
Are you sure about that? Drake is been extremely consistent
I try not to comment on here but you are the BIGGEST troll that has ever commented on here! You stan for anyone who you feels like has an argument against Bey ! You have Keri Hilson in ur ad I and claim to Stan for her then keep watching BEY slay year after year TOUR after TOUR record after record on TOP and it must make you angry that your Fav has completely let you DOWN! Pick your face up because this is only the beginning of the SLAYAGE that is to come from BEY! YONCE SEASON HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN! Ha!
I thought she’d get a million first week with all the hype. But congrats. She’ll probably get there in 2-3 weeks. Still not a fan of any of the songs… but proud to see black women winning
@ Robbyearl
I agree… her last 2 albums r my least favorite. I think ppl r more interested about her & jayz marriage then about the actual music… just my observation. I dont like the music either this time around again…
Well the album is only a available 3 places(tidal,iTunes,Amazon) I’m pretty sure if she added Spotify & physical copies it would be a mill
Slayage!!! And that’s with only 3 days of sales. Most of your faves can’t even sell that after months. Congrats on making history with 6 consecutive #1 albums bey!!!!!!
Oh this is only three days worth? I take my comment below back then lol I thought those were sales for the first week.
Yeah imagine if it was the full 7 days and she didn’t do the tidal exclusive. I guarantee she would’ve sold a million. This is still great though. Who else can sell a $18 and sell 600k copies in 3 days????
gurl these are predictions for the entire week…. you beehive stans need to spend less time on people’s Instagram look for beck with the good hair and spend more time reading a book.
Her album was released Monday not Friday the typical album releasing day
Slay QUEEN!
Damn. I was hoping for more, but it IS 18 dollars. This will probably be her lowest selling LP to date, but the stadium tour more than makes up for it.
No she sold 313k in first week with 4 and this only three day of sales I think this we’ll be her 3rd highest selling album
I was reading another article and it said 800k by the end of the week because the album has already sold 620k for the 3 days but anyhow still good not bad
Also this is just from ITUNES!!! The physical comes out on May 6th!!!
not true, it also includes Tidal. yes on Tidal you can also buy the digital albums and i also think the album is on amazon as while im not too sure
If she didn’t do a tidal exclusive and had a full 7 days of sales she could have easily did a million. This is still incredible and she still made history. 6 #1 albums and a 94 on meta critic after 20 yrs. your faves could never.
Also the album is #1 in 100 countries and all her songs on the album are slaying iTunes. It’s a fact that she’s winning so haters will have to deal!
This only for 3-4 days of sales lol
Decent. Anything less woulda been a flop for her honestly
Omgg. 3 day sales, 36 hour Tidal exclusive, $18 album. 500k+ pure sales? ?✊✊??
If she had a full week of sales and did not have her album as a TIDAL-only exclusive for 48 hours, I believe she would’ve moved a million units – especially considering how with streaming is now included in album sales charts. I believe that she would have come close to, or even beaten Usher’s record for highest first-week sales for an R&B artist (1.1 million) which he’s held since 2004 with Confessions. This is the same ‘inconvenience’ she faced when self-titled was released in 2013. Anyway, these are great numbers considering that 17.88 price tag. I’ve been a fan since 2003 and even that number had me reconsidering a few things, lmao!
Aiight I see you BEY! Slay trick or you get e-lemon-aded!!!

About to outsell Anti’s 3 month 800k WW in 2 weeks in the US ALONE. Oh lord
_
Oh BTW, Itunes Global chart:
#1 artist: Beyonce
#1 album: Beyonce
#1 song: Beyonce
#2 song: Beyonce
#3 song: Beyonce
#4 song: Beyonce
??????????????
WHY even bring up anti…smh
HDD says if Lemonade wasn’t Tidal exclusive and was avail in all formarts (Google play, Itunes and Physical copies) in the same week, she could habe easily pulled over 1M for her firat time. Oh well..
It generated 45M tidal streams tho. So something good came outta it for Tidal.
and how many did Jay and the record label buy?
And why did nobody refuse to purchase iGLO’S single??? Guess they thought she was not worth it and her time was up….FACTS ONLY
And…Drake..Thank God?
Download Lemonade film here: https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/5957f60076e333b6aad5cf7ca463c97d20160425112606/4d28dc
DONATE HERE FOR BRITNEY’S RECOVERY…..http://dcmh.exeter.ac.uk/
Hitsdaily double predict Drake maybe 2 million first week.now watch how he floods itune,be humble bees.good day.
he’ll rule the summer…one dance is just waiting to snatch number one in a couple weeks too
Beyonce is QUEEN!!
Wow Britney Spears could never I will buy hit hater
And this is without Samsung buying a million copies… *sips lemon iced tea* ???????????????? LEMONADE is #1 on UK iTunes and there are 8 songs in the top 20 ? the #1 spot on the singles chart is Drake which I don’t mind cause One Dance is fiiiiire!!!! ????
She’s a fake feminist and a weak ass heaux for staying with a cheater. I always knew her marriage to Jay was a sham.
ON THE OTHER HAND…RIHCUNT WENT BACK TO FISTOPHER BROWN AFTER HE BEAT THE MESS OUT OF HER.
She can be whatever you want her to be , but one thing for sure is she will outsell Anti in a week with pure sales. #boybye
@SCENTED URINE(centurine)
Just how does the DIGITAL QUEEN Rihanna get beaten by a TRAP Artist like BeYAWNce the one with no hit in “8 years”??? That Anti RAIN is officially coming to a end too. Like i said in the previous post both work & Anti will be out of its respective top 10 positions. This all thanx to Prince Bey & Drake etc outshining it. NOW bish has sum competition and can no longer sustain. Also ADELE will not go out without a fight. Still has ALL I ASK & SEND MY LOVE Which will push charts again ahead of rih. Bey also has GENRES of Rock, Raegae, Country, Trap & Piano Balladrey on LEMONADE just waiting to sank the DEADvy ship futher into oblivion abyss. Not to mention tour starts tonight which may boost sales.
They’re definitely NOT out-shining anything. Will either of them be #1 for 9 weeks? HEEEEELLLLLLLLL NOOOOOOOO! And girl you know D*MN WELL Bey singles ain’t goin nowhere???The hive better try some humble pie (the internet thug majority portion of the fleahive that doesn’t even buy music that is) Where will any of her songs be in the weeks to come? This is the best it gets for Bey so enjoy it while it lasts. Just like with self-titled, Bey put all her eggs in one basket and released all the songs and videos at one time so it only goes downhill from here. Unless she does a rerelease with at least 7 new songs, she can wave goodbye to any chance of a substantial hit no shade. Next time leave Rih out of it queen.
I still can’t believe she’s making a mockery of marriage for sales. I don’t ever want to hear her utter the word “God” again. She’s truly disgusting.
LOL…..AND RIHCUNT MAKES A MOCKERY OF DOMESTIC ABUSE BY ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT IT BEFORE SHE RELEASES AN ALBUM. OPRAH….VANITY FAIR…I’M SURE THAT RINGS A BELL.
Congratulations, Beyonce’. 6 consecutive #1 albums is nothing short of amazing. 😉
.
Well done to my Rih. for her consistency also – her streaming stats. are absolutely mind-boggling. 😉
Yess I peep that
I really admire how u try to complement both girls…REALLY NICE TO SEE. It is even more frustrating because Bey could have easily sold over 800k if she released with full week numbers.
So… she may do less than bday in pure sales but sps will push her above 600K?
Slay… I guess. Wanted her to do more than self-titled.
This is just 3 and a half days of counting sales tho. If she released it immediately on i tunes without tidal…she easily could have done over 700k. Hdd said she possibly could have done 1 mil if she released it on all platforms.
She’s doing less than bday in pure sales though?????????
I bet beys full 7 day total PLUS STREAMS will be 1 mill sold. When will/has FRIH??? #460 Not Bey outselling Rih in 4 days. Beys ww total may just be 1 mill cuz its doing VERY well in the UK also. All this with no single either. Formation was just an outro & buzz track.
She released the album on a Sunday and in music industry the week counting ends on tuesdays so ttechnicaly that s 2 days of sells not a week. She will pass that in a week ???
It released Monday and counting ends on Thursday…
But the hive said 1 million ???
,
Anyway cannot wait for views
I KNOW RIGHT..I WAS DISAPPOINTED SHE FAILED TO OUTSELL ANTI’S FIRST WEEK IN JUST THREE DAYS. WHAT A FLOP SHE IS..DON’T U AGREE LB??
Screams! All that s*** talking itll sell worse than self titled.
I agree…..I can’t wait for queen Keri Hilson to come and sales a lot more album than her. When keri drops..ADELE, TAYLOR, RIHANNA E.T.C BETTER RUN AND HIDE BECAUSE SHE WILL OUTSELL ALL OF THEM.
Keri makes real music not that ghetto noise like your fave and she didnt sell her soul for success
But i was not shading QUEEN KERI….I was just acknowledging her greatness and how astronomical her sales will be when she releases it. ALL HAIN QUEEN KERI HILSON.
Why Bey? Why would you outsell Anti-platinum in one week sis? Why? Guess Condolences are in order for the Samsung tramp.
Good luck catching up to Rihanna’s total sales.
460… never forget
And that is only coming from 20 mins left before the cut off with week album sales

SEETHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^^^ music count ends on thursdays 11:59 pm @ higuera. Bey should have surprise droped audio only on ufriday on itunes. Then movie premeire and album + movie on itunes sunday. Her sells would easily eclispe 900k-1 mill US only. But physical drop will raise sells exponentially which unlike rih did nothing for anti. If bey gets a big hit this era Lemonade could be this years highest seller tho adele would be tough to beat. Its still this yes highest debut. I doubt DRAKE tops this next wk.
But she will sell a millon copies eventually though. Something plastic minaj hasn’t done with her past two albums.
something keri hilson failed to do her whole career
Always attacking Rihanna to try and make beyonce look better,but why?Since you act like she’s God,watch God humble you hateful stans.Now watch Drake outsell her,your pride will be humbled and short lived Now watch God Humble
Lmaooo, the only time the Navy ever has a problem with Stan wars is when they’re losing. “Your pride will be humbled” ??? Girl, Sit. Down.
Why am I hearing that Rita Ora was going around and telling her friends that she slept with Jay-z. That’s very hoeish
Death@the excuses
But the hive said she’d sell more than 800k first week
Congrats to her. One thing she is to be given credit for is her ability to move a mass amount of units. If she had physical product out she’d probably move nearly 200-300k extra. She should have put that out on mon or tues.. Physical product does big things for her and many other artists which is awesome. But these sales in any era are amazing. Lots of people don’t come close to them. Sure she should and it would be great for her to move a million copies…. But these are great sales regardless..
I really don’t think she care..which is why its so frustrating. She has reached that point in her career where she does not have to depend on pop hits to remain relevant. P.S THOSE SALES WERE JUST UNDER 3 DAYS…WHICH IS STILL IMPRESSIVE.
Beyonce needs to promote this era! This album is too good to let it ride itself out. She needs to promote the hell out of it. This is no mediocre music (a la cAnti)…
Taylor Gaga and Adele didn’t need hbo or 12 music videos to sell over 500k like Beyonce did.
Three white girls didn’t have to do as much to get the same result?? Who would’ve thought…
sooooo… In other words Rihanna album still getting streamed 20 – 30 million plus times each week. This is exactly why I understand the approach to steaming because you can listen to anyone album and not have to buy it and some celebrities probably feel ripped off cause from what I read , streaming services like apple and Spotify wasn’t paying artist and labels much. This gonna help and rih and bet stay on top longer than any of their previous efforts and I hope they both nominated for Grammies next year.
3 days >>> 3 months
Congrats to her. I heard the album last night with my bf. It’s definitely her most artistic yet.
Please everyone be mindful that MARIAH has never sold much more than 400k first week. And also that if you count the full 7 day total (instead of 3 days) of SELF TITLED it would stand tall as the highest selling album by a black female artist with 800k first 7dayweek. Only time will tell if bey will top self titled opening numbers. They had to revise adeles numbers several times. Beys thursday sells could be bigger than todays sells by chance.
E=MC2 sold 463K first week and that was more than 15 years after her debut
Congratulations beyonce
@BeyExclusive BEYONCÉ has sold 6.1 million copies as of January 2016 and is Beyoncé’s fourth best-selling album.

I CAN’T!
I just heard RIHCUNT stole a song from TINASHE!!!!!!!!!!KIIIIIIIIIIIII LMAO…THE SHADE OF IT ALL.
What’s the T
Can’t you though? That means Ri only has one album(maybe 2 she lies so much about her album sells)that outsold Self titled. What kind of stupid self drag was that?
Death so does this mean Cheatanna no longer has the the best selling album for a black female artists this decade????
.
ST 6.1m —-> Loud 6m
And it costs $18.. but I thought the hive was broke! I mean what exactly can the navi afford this era though? You are telling me a song can be #1 for 9 weeks and get outsold by a song that didn’t make it to #1 (Lukas Graham 7 Years)?
Flop tours,flop albums, flop singles. Thank that $10 a month streaming thing.
I just heard RIHCUNT stole a song from TINASHE!!!!!!!!!!KIIIIIIIIIIIII LMAO…THE SHADE OF IT ALL.

Looooooool #floored
.
The way how they count their lemons before it is fit for the picking…WOW.
.
Where is the 1 million that BLONDE’s minions were raving about?
Who cares BITXH!!! She dkne outsold AntiSuccess sales in 4 days KIII!!!
.
BTW how come you ain’t under your Janet account ????
Janet account? Lol. OOPPS!
o_O I thought you were a goner sis! After the hive dragged you by your three relaxed hairs, and left you to rot like the dusty-ass-Kelly-Price-looking b***** you are!!!
Yes queen ! Out her breaking records once again !!!
Self titled sold 10 RECORDS World Wide. LEMONADE will sell 20 million. Esp if she drops 6 inch & Freedom as singles. Hold Up hs summer anthem written all over it while All Night daddy lessons & Sandcasles is song of the year Material. Where is kiss it better on ITUNES????
Are you including singles and albums
Streaming isn’t as prestigious as actually purchasing a real album. None cares about stupid streams. Just buy one album. Sheesh….
Rihanna still Blessed and highly favored.Do it for Queen Rihanna???????History Maker???
Well bey is slaying on albums sales lets not forget rihanna gave 1.4 millions copies away and still is selling almost 400k with streaming 862k and * Rihanna (Westbury Road/Roc Nation) 44-49k next week bringing it to 910k with streaming u gotta admit rihanna is showing out just as well as beyonce
^^He always got them f***** excuses. I pray to Lord you reveal what his truth is^^
Adele is laughing at this try hard mess…. She clearly slays Rihanna in sales.. But shes behind Taylor and Adele Bey is their lessor.
Beyonce is about to outsell your fave with just 3 days of sale’s lol. How you feelin? Dumb af right?
Can wait to see those full week numbers ???
Bawahahahaha!!! Yaaasss bish!!! I CANNOT WITH HER SLAYING ANTISUCCESS IN FOUR DAYS ????????!!!!
.
Now she needs to hurry up and tell us the mothafuxking single!!
Sorry needs to be the next single. We’ve been talking about Becky all week lol.
It’s good but would have been higher had she released physical copies aswell but number 1 is number 1
She had no competition this week. Why not put out as the same time as Drake? Because she feared. Also, with all the hype and so called “Queen” she should at least pull a million. Adele and Taylor saids what’s good?!?
Bish she had Prince
Y’all can say that it’s because of her limited promo but c’mon now! If she were “Queen Bey”, she’d be able to pull Adele and Taylor numbers!
I totally agree with u!!
You Stan for the “black madonna” though remember? You have NO room to talk #460
Slay b****
Cool. Not bad. But honestly as a true Beyonce fan and lover of not only her the solo artist, but her as apart of Destinys Child, something is lacking from this album. The vocals are good and in some parts great but vocally it’s disappointing. I’m still getting a great deal of “talk sing Beyonce” and as a lover of Beyonce the vocalist, I get that same feeling I got the first time I heard a Mariah Carey album and she did a big chunk of it in her whispery voice. It is a good album thought but for me the vocals fall short. I guess “4” was her vocal peak, cause this MOST DEFINITELY is NOT!
Congrats on the numbers, glad she’s still reigning
Congrats Bey , very impressive
640K vs 460
This was so cute
http://blavity.com/tell-that-boy-bye/
LOL SO SHE STILL SOLD LESS THAN HER FLOPPED HBO NUMBERS? NOT EVEN 787K WITH STREAMING?? LMAO.
FLOP. DRAKE IS ABOUT TO POUR KOOLAID RIGHT DOWN THE TOILET ON FRIDAY LMAO.
LOL A FREE HBO WEEKEND AND KOOLAID’S SALES COULDN’T EVEN MATCH THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WATCHED IT FLOP LMAO.
Another number one debut, and with over 500K again – great job B!
This is why she is always referred to as Queen Bey by default. Awesome.
Y’all, she starts the tour today and DJ Khaled has been going nuts since last night!!!
Okay ladies now lest get InFormation!
Prove to me you got some coordination!
Slay trick or you get eLEMONADEd!
??????????????????????????????????????????
Bwahahaha the struggle is real for this special ed blonde witch!!
.
Let the pity accolades begin as her music is STILL $h!t and will continue to be blackballed by people’s eardrums as it flops on the BB100 chart!
.
All this hype and not even a million sold. Looool Congrats on being overrated you pathetic thief!
I heard beyonce send Whole Album to Radios stations congratulations again lol
Poor Navy. Beyonce is slaying. Death at them GRASPING at straws all over this post. She is OUTSELLING your faves 3 months old album in days. With GENUINE sales. She is doing amazing numbers in 2016. I’m glad she’s keeping up of her record of never selling less than 300k first week. Rihanna could never.
If her tour videos is all over the internet, it could boost the sales. And is she the only female with 6 consecutive 300k opening numbers?
Lemonade t-shirt. Get it now
