After the jump, we list five top selling artists who still have been unable to snag that ever elusive top spot. Some may surprise you…

b-miami

Beyonce made quite the splash tonight at Marlins Park as she touched down to kick off the long-awaited ‘Formation’ World Tour.

The trek, designed to support her latest studio effort, ‘Lemonade’ (featuring the hit tune ‘Formation‘), launched in Miami as scheduled despite controversy surrounding the tour’s security detail (as reported here).  With listed pit stops in every corner of North America and Europe before a close in Spain in August, the 305’s #Beyhive can boast first dibs on the diva’s first outing since 2014’s hotly-selling ‘On the Run’ tour (with husband Jay Z).

If the (trending) Twitter response and accompanying clips are anything to go by, this show may be her best yet.

For, after garnering very little support from followers for her stance on the offensiveness of the term “Becky” (in reference to Beyonce‘s new song ‘Sorry’) yesterday, the rapstress has now taken to Twitter to clarify her thoughts on the hot topic.

Clapping back at reports she believe the Queen Bey is “racist” for her use of the word, Azalea schools her followers on the history of “Becky” and so much more.  Get into her latest rant below:

Despite an impressive debut sales week from Beyonce‘s highly anticipated 6th album ‘Lemonade,’ pop icon Prince will still see a purple reign over next week’s refreshed Billboard album charts.

As reported here, his albums ‘The Very Best of Prince’ and ‘Purple Rain’ are #1 and #2 this week respectively based on sales amassed in less than 24 hours.  With continued coverage of circumstances surrounding his untimely passing taking over television and radio airwaves, nostalgic fans have run to digital and brick and mortar record stores to pay homage to the fallen singer/songwriter.
