‘I’ll take the critical acclaim and the #1 album to go.’
As Columbia Records and the folks over at ‘Parkwood’ continue to celebrate the project’s game-changing rise to the top, Beyonce‘s self-titled new album is fast becoming the gifts that just keeps on giving.
Why the star’s party #1s is on course to make room for one more?
24 hours after being uploaded to the singer’s official VEVO page, her Jay Z- assisted jam ‘Drunk In Love’ has now arrived at the 5 million streams mark on YouTube alone.
As it stands, the release has generated 5,154,361 views and is now guaranteed a Top Twenty debut on the Billboard Hot 100 next, while its supporting album is predicted to spend numerous weeks atop the Billboard 200 by way of its staggered release.
Indeed, after its digitals sales took it to # this week, its physical release on December 21st is set to keep the project at the #1 spot, set to surpass the 1 million US units milestone within by the time it welcomes its three month anniversary.

this SLAYAGE, WILL IT EVER STOP??
She looks like a t*****.
Them Gaga, Katy and miley fans must be screaming. Who run the world GIRLS (Beyonce&Rihanna)
Yes yes yes I love love love this song and the vid is cool too go beyonce!!!
B****** are getting slayed bald!!! I see edges disappearing faster than the sinking of Titanic!!! That Slayonce reign just wont let up!!!!!
LMAO AT THAT MARIAH VIDEO SHE SOUNDS F****** HORRIBLE
sam tryna be shady you wish one of beyonce’s songs chart 20 years after it release! and the monster by rihanna and eminem garnered 5 million hits too!! #desperate
Oh nooo TGJ ya’ll too much putting poor Mariah on blast like that. Lord that struggle had me saying the Lord’s prayer 5times.
As for Bey. Looooveeeeeeee, we be all night. She looks so faded in this vid. Immersed in the role of being Drunk In Love
That’s great considering people actually HAVE the video already. Why would you watch it on Vevo? Keep slaying Bey.
Lemme save the haters some time: “She bought her album” , “she paid for her youtube views” , “she paid the critics” , and she’ll buy her physical copies next week.
Bey came out harder than i thought she would.
You guys are a mess for that Mariah video lol
I find stans annoying as hell. I’m no fan and never a stan of anyone but that girl did her damn thing. Stop trying to downplay Beyonce’s accomplishments. Stop trying to make Monster Rihanna’s record. She’s featured. It’s Eminem SH*T.
But didn’t Wrecking Ball break the VeVo record for snatching 100 million views the fastest, didn’t Rihanna just score her 13th #1 single on the Hot 100 surpassing Whitney, Janet, MDNA, The Supremes and Stevie Wonder and tieing with MJ, didn’t Katy’s album just reach the 1.5 mil WW in 2 months. Sam is so desperate for topics. 5 million views in 24 hrs is nothing. Body Party got 5 mil in like 30 hrs and got a Top 40 debut. This is nothing new Sam. Stop queening for Bey and start giving other artists their dues as well
Of course the Monster would get hits. Its a brand new video. I can’t at Rihanna fans grasping onto this Eminem song. Beyonce did it with her video on the album already as well. Its good but I doubt she cares too much about Youtube views.
^^^^ Wrecking ball got many hits only cause Miley was swinging around naked. She only got many hits cause of attention whoring. So bad example
Mariah’s vocals 🙁
Drunk in love >>>>
And monster got many hits cause it’s a new video which has been hyped for weeks. Another bad example
@Antonio calm down boo TGJ has reported on all those things besides the Ciara thing. Its Beyoncé season, this site stans for her you should know by now. If you don’t like it go somewhere else.
Congrats yonce!!! You changed the game out of nowhere,now that’s boss sh!t. Her fans are annoying,but i’m not going to let that stop me from buying her music. Can’t wait to buy my physical copy.
Chh I almost came here and apologized to the hive for coming for her single. But nope TGJ bragging about YouTube views
You can’t even buy it as a single yet.
Oh noooo NOT that Mariah video!!!!
That video of Mariah, this post will get ugly.
Now the HlV+ is bragging about youtube views??? :/
Erhmmm, ok then
thats awesum considering the fact that the video was already available to be viewed with the album,so people are still checking for her after all! bey and riri always remind me why i stan for them
Youtube views are a lessor factor to The Queen. But ok nonetheless.
2014 will be her groundbreaking year… so happy for her and R&B
Check out “Dare” by new artist Marcel
http://youtu.be/UjNYIt2znVo
This post will be a mess.
My poor Mariah. That performance reminded me or Whitney Houston during her last concert sounding like a complete mess. Sam, you need to post her performances that she just did in Africa. She sounded MUCH MUCH MUCH better. Mariah Carey you better get serious or just retire. Honestly, im tired of stanning for somebody that just dont give a rats ass about her career anymore OR HER BODY & FACE. I stan for 1990s Mariah Carey not this old woman she turend into. SAD!
The Hive isn’t bragging about youtube views…. Sam mention that because if the views the song will probably chart.
Im impressed because I haven’t watch it on youtube since I have the videos on my ipad … I mean who watch youtube videos with them damn ads and s***…. LOL.
But i didn’t know youtube views influenced chart position..learn something new everyday
this is going to get messy real fast.
OMG…. I saw ppl posting the video, but I never actually watched it.. Mariah sounds horrible.
But she’s still one the best vocalist in pop history. So I’ll give her a pass… hell its Mariah, she gets a couple of passes. She really sounded a mess. I wonder if she was sick. I think Mariah feels like she doesn’t have to rehearse. No disrespect to Mariah tho. She influenced my fav.
LOL WHO DOESN’T GET 5 MILLION YOUTUBE VIEWS IN 24 HOURS NOWADAYS LOL
Idc how legendary Mariah is. No one wants to watch her lip or hear her croak and struggle to hit the simplest of notes when she DOES sing live. All of that unhealthy singing has caught up with her. Mariah’s best bet is to become a rapper because the vocals ain’t there!
The HlV+ is doing the most!!
They were too busy watching the video on youtube instead of buying the mixtape. That’s why the thing didn’t sell 1.2m in its first week.
MESS!!!
@CAKE if I’m not mistaken, a week = 7 days. Let’s add up her tally this coming Friday. 600k in three days, she can easily hit 1milli in a week dumb ass. Where’s HagGa on the charts?
Bey always gets decent youtube views so …..
“We woke up in kitchen, saying how the hell did this s*** happen. OH BABY”.
As for Mariah she has had better days this season so that’s a poor jab. Still a Legend
OMG I am so pissed after watching that Mimi performance. Mariah you betta get it together because im not about to stan for somebody that gives horrible performances AFTER horrible performances. You need to get off that high horse & get serious/disciplined about your LEGENDARY career again. That performance was a complete mess. Please dont make a fool of yourself like Whitney Houston! UGH… I hate the fact that I like her so much that I cant stop stanning for her FLOP ass. She has been terrible ever since 2008 with that HORRIBLE PLATINUM selling album E=MCSHIT…
Im so sick of Mariah walking aroud DRUNK & DELUSIONAL.
I shall not be delusional anymore… ONE MORE TIME MARIAH & I WILL BE STANNING FOR RIHANNA & BEYONCE!!! I will always love Miss Carey but I need to stan for People OF MY GENERATION AND GET OUT THA PAST CAUSE ITS NOT GOOD STANNING FOR OLD HAS BEENS ANYWAYS.. Celine Dion can still sing but dont nobody gives a s***. Ugh.. I wish you still had something left Mariah. GET THOSE VOCAL NODULES REMOVED OR SOMETHING!!! Fat ass keep trying to fit in those outfts that are 10x to small for her UGH!!! I think its time to stan for people only 35 and under cause I CANT WITH THESE OLD B******!!!!!
lmao you desperate because comparing 1.5M WW for cathy in a MONTH to 823K WW in THREE DAYS with NO promo at all is stupid lol.
for the views, I’m agree it aint nothing but people already buy the videos with the album on iTunes soo no one is really exited to go to see them videos on vevo.
for rihanna having 13 no1 and selling less albums with 7 albums compared to 4 for bey just prove that she has some radio friendly hits on her albums and people buy just those hits not the album.
for body party i love the song but cici didn’t push it so people start to forget it.
And next time you compare another singer to beyonce, make sure you can win cause bringing artist than dont even sell what destiny child SOLD yet is not a valid point.
And bey is here since 98888
You just miss the one you could compare her to : adèle, or madonna or mariah
Death @ Stephy.
^^^ the HlV+ is MADDDD 😀 😀 😀
Why would the Hive be mad when she has already outsold Artpop in US with three days AHAHAHAHAAH! You should be mad boo.
LMAO @Stephy
We be all night LOOOOOOOOOOOVE, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!
I’ve been drinking,I’ve been drinking,I get filthy when that liquor gets to me!
UGHHHHH I JUST WATCHED THAT VIDEO AGAIN!!! MARIAH CAREY WHY WOULD YOU EVEN AGREE TO DO THIS HIT KNOWING YOUR VOCALS WERE NOT RIGHT. This is why you need to hire Tommy Matolla back or LA RIED or people that are tough & strict cause Mariah is not none of those things on her own. WHY OH WHY did she hire GHETTO ASSSSSSSS Jermaine Flopreee as her manager. UGH!!! Mariah Carey GET IT TOGETHA… I need to go calm down PEACE OUT!
Lmao @ Cake like lady gaga calling us pressed when it trolls every single post of beyonce slaying sounding like the most pressed b**** ever
I am laughing so hard at stephy’s meltdown,even though I agree with every single sentence he says. Mariah needs to hire someone strict like tommy to be her manager. I just watched that performance and it was a no-no
Call me IF t*********’s next mixtape sells 1.2m in its first week since this one failed dismally..
@Stephy
Easy babe, Mimi is a Queen regardless.
This is great,and She is doing her thing, She has always been the Slide rule for many to go by to me.
The only thing that I will say is the World love it and so do the other Musicians and their Fan Clubs. This gives them something to look forward too.
They might not can do as well as she has done,but don’t they deserve a chance to be great also,Bey Hive. only beef is ,why her Fans give the Lessors a hard time just because. We know that she is a hard act to follow, but with that being said don’t all the others deserve a chance to.
Mariah is legendary but that performance wasn’t about that life.
Youtube views are the only reason Applause hasn’t fallen off the charts yet so this post is very relevant.
Many has not reached her power in the game,but should they be knocked because they are doing the best they can with what they have got.
Often times your Fans say when will other artist do what Beyonce is doing,well people in the game are driven at different speeds in which to move their careers forward.
Rihanna whores should be the last fools to talk about anybody’s vocals. Rock In Rio 2011?
Death at that mariah performance my ears are f***** bleeding she has to stop swallowing nicks c**.
oooh poor @Stephy *hugs*
Mariah done had her peak already so it dont matter that much. Here’s a better one for you from 2013
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlObJAlSi78
I just watched the Mariah video OMG those last notes were terrible!!! I almost feel sorry for her
Many has not reached her power in the game,but should they be knocked because they are doing the best they can with what they have got.
OMG all you people going a** s*** cause Mariah gave a bad vocal performance need to chill the hell out!!!! Did she not just give a flawless performance of “All I Want for Christmas is You” and “Joy to the World” like 2 weeks at the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting ceremony?!?!? Did she not just have people raving about how amazing she sounded during that impromptu performance on Jimmy Fallon’s show last month?!?! So she had a few off notes while singing in the cold and the rain, give the b@tch a break. As for Steph, seek help boo! It ain’t that damn deep!
Damnnnnn we got it sam stop kissing her ass posting every damn 5 minutes about her album sales we know she is a queen and slayed the f*** out of those other females but this site is all about that b****.
Often times you say when will other artist do what Beyonce is doing,well people in the game are driven at different speeds in which to move their careers forward.
Remember Kelly saying she was happy where she is right now in her life and her career.Well that goes for all of them.And we know KELLY can dance to ever step and Sing just as well, as she can. But that don’t stop many of the Hive from calling Kelly black, lazy and ugly.
Rihanna can’t do anything, to let the Hive and her haters tell it, and she get kicked for trying, what in the hell is wrong with yall.
Beyonce you have did really great with your self titled Album “Beyonce” and I as a Rihanna Navy Ofc. Is proud of you, and I am beginning to see how your Hive really operates.I will be as cool,as possible and like I said I am
truly proud and happy for you this time around.
I am reminded of the time in one of your Videos where you are dancing in the middle of the street, and you licks your finger and put it on JAY stuff and me and my friend would always roll it back to see you lick and tap it that was the business BACK THEN
And remind me of how Rihanna plays with her Cat and make everybody say shes a s!ut on stage, Rih fans love her actions on and off any stage she is lucky enough to Grace.
Muimui shut the hell up with these pointless essays!! S*** your annoying
I’ll give it to Beyousay …she is good marketing. If you can buy followers on twitter you sure as hell can buy then Vevo…I guess that is where all the promotion money went ! reading through lines.
She’s always been a fraud!
Lol @ the Mariah shade. Everyone knows she can’t sing anymore. It’s been that way for years. As for Bey, I love how she has the haters seething and pulling every excuse in the book. Particularly this Gaga stan. Gaga is fading after 5 years and Bey is still slaying after 16. Please let that sink in!
And before you come for my fav, I know she isn’t selling like she used to but she can still slay a vocal and she’s getting her executive producer coin for R&B divas. *looks at her Grammy nomination* 🙂
@faith IKR????
Doesn’t this f*** have better things to do with his time than write essays on TGJ?? As if his essays aren’t annoying enough, his grammar is a nightmare!!
I NEVER read anything he posts, I see his name and scroll down.
She may not be consistent but she has very good days of singing lately. I bet it’s that CiCi stan @ TGJ who posted that Mariah.
This is a Beyonce post but now a Mariah one. Tut Tut staff member
Reminder
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5mjRAEfDbI
@faith b**** u just couldn’t keep it cute??
No baby, I love Beyonce she’s in my top 5. Why don’t you take your own advice and leave her alone?
bye stephy!!! I knew you wasn’t a LAMB in the first place!! Mariahs still queen regardless I really like to see how beyonce sounds at 43 because at 33 Mariah STILL SLAYED!!
Beyonce will sound fine. She gets better with age because her singing technique is healthy and she doesn’t kill her voice with whistle notes and other unhealthy lifestyle choices. Brandy is another one who gets better with age.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHH GAGA! @H**+ So in other news!
The BeyHives have killed their Queen, they drowned her in too much honey!
@Faith drag it. It always comes to bey’s posts to troll. It likes bey more than its own fave. That’s why people drag gaga on here
@Truth Hurts well we were not going to give the haters anything to shade about this time! I know bey right now is like “Damn!” Lol but she told us herself. “If you down with the Beyhive,then get ready to sting these b******” and we stung them HARD
That King B Reign! I’m just counting down the days til I get my hands on this physical copy of the album. I don’t really care about YouTube views, but I’m glad it’s aiding in getting the ball rolling with DIL’s chart success.
@Stephy
I understand your passion and desire for Mariah to get it together, but leave Whitney out of it! I have nothing against you. I just notice that Lambs always feel the need to defend Mariah by dragging in Whitney. Mimi’s a big girl now that can stand on her own two feet. She should know what her vocal maintenance requires.
Mariah was never a great vocalist, it was always smoke, mirrors and pre-recording.
Beyonce > Mariah Stanky
Whitney > my dog’s ass > Mariah Smelly.
WHAT???? Are you trying to tell me a song can debut that high on the Hot 100 only cos of Vevo views????? 🙁 Music industry is in a very sad place. I mean, are they determined to give Rihanna, Katy and Milye more fast food #1s no matter what? Sad
Once again, congrats to Beyonce for selling albums this good this time around. Although Sam is doing the most at this point with so many posts about her, a few of them are not too relevant. I mean, there are more videos with 5 million views in one day out there 🙂
Finally, why did he need to post that Mariah video? Don´t try it hun. You know you always end being lectured.
@JOHNVIDAL Yet it didn’t work for Gaga. If it’s so easy to get a #1. why hasn’t he? Of anyone. Hell Vevo helped Ciara the MOST! So I don’t want to hear it.
#WheresGAGA? Somewhere performing with talent show judges.
@CAKE
Meanwhile the album’s been out for less than 5 days….
Wrecking ball got 20 million views in one day so this isn’t not impressive.
Wrecking ball only got that many views thanks to controversy bye. Amd Beyonce already has the video on her album.
Alot of you are so delusional. Most of you were just bashing youtube for factoring in views for chart positions. Now you are praising it. I love the new beyonce cd but some of you need to stop being fake just because your favorite artist is out. This is to all the stans not just one particular group.
#PlaysNoAngel
But while TGJ stays worried about Mariah her bank account stays cashing. She’s just got back from Africa, made $3 Million dollars off that, All I want for Xmas is you making at least $5 million this year alone. All this with her no singing ass. So don’t worry about her TGJ. Her bills are paid and she really doesn’t care.
Ultimate death @ Stephy’s meltdown 😆
@mark111
You are truly basic. Beyonce has other things to be proud of. Are you really ok with views on Vevo (mainly when something is controversial) being so important in lists about MUSIC??? You are very basic then. I´m shading nowadays singles charts yes, any problem? You know which artists benefit more from this. Gaga stays in less talented artists fans minds, don´t know why. Yes it is easy for those I mentioned cos they are marketed to rule singles charts and all the efforts they do are destined to shine there. The moment radio and other supporters stop playing their every single in a few years they will vanish, it won´t happen to Beyonce or Gaga. Music industry has seen this before.
It’s 2013. Social media, youtube and VEVO all count toward ones success. Please step out of the 20th century!
@Johnvidal When will you marry me? I agree with some of what you said.
@JOHNVIDAL
I see why you never respond to me when I call you out, cause you don’t have a clever one. You talk about gimmicks and tricks in music when you stan for the biggest gimmicks, tricks and attention w**** in music history. Like I said, if #1’s are so easy to get now days, why hasn’t any song from Artpoop went #1? You talk about BB counting streams when it pretty much saved Gaga this era. You talk about tricks, yet BTW was sold for 99 cents.
I’m sorry that Gaga relied on gimmicks instead of music and that’s why when that younger girl started flopping her non having ass on stage, it took the attention from Gaga, who ran around n*** at the same award show. The only thing is “basic” here is Artpop and your comments.
Yaaaaaas @Antonio I thought this sounded familiar ! Congrats I wonder where shell debut
@mark
Ok you just want to hate. How was this about Gaga? Look all I said is I´m surprised streams count as much as Sam is saying, and I find it sad. I´m not saying I agree with it if it benefits Gaga and I don´t if it benefits talentless artists. I just don´t like it. Can´t you get that?
About the gimmicks: every artist use them, and I don´t mind them if there´s talent to back them up. As simple as that. There are people who are smoke and mirrors, it´s not Gaga´s case as she demonstrates each time she performs. Of course you won´t be able to see it cos hate blinds people.
@mark
Plus you are mixing sales and music. Sad that you can´t understand music by itself. Bandwagoner alert! Too bad Artpop is better than Prism, Bangers and the rest of basic chicks albums, yes those ones that are doing only slightly better than Artpop despite those girls being at their best commercial moment and Gaga not being. Like Beyonce proved just now, hate can´t destroy the bigger and better ones, so Gaga will survive, don´t worry (and Beyonce is far from a goddess of musicianship, but she seems like Michael Jackson compared to the basic girls).
@Fake Like Lady Gaga
Ur just salty because Manly Gaga’s label spent millions upon million upon millions of dollars on that table coaster….I mean album and it still managed to fail. Girl! ACT RIGHT lmao.
This is good! Considering the fact we all pretty much saw the video before it was on vevo. Congrats Bey!
That is a Good Look for both, Congrats. 😀

Hi Royalty!
Loool @ Stephy!!!
how are you ? @NavyCommaner. 🙂
Yes, I like @MUIMUI, reminds me of the Real @LAX.
ABAHAHA CRYING AT STEPHY THA LAMBILY !!!!!
Hi @pop royalty!
What a petty queen. If Beyonce sang a fraction of her songs instead of having her backup singers sing 95% of them maybe her voice would be shot too.
Congratulation to Beyonce for her achievements, but the the Hive including Sam are pathetic. Keep dragging Mariah though she’ll continue laughing atop her throne with the other legends.
http://youtu.be/C4H22PP1Qqo
Royalty, I’m good , perched here watching cake like lady gaga make a fool of himself. How are you Hun?
@navy commander lmao he made a fool of himself alright. The faith Evans stan really clocked him
When will Beyonce?
http://youtu.be/_1QExk2kSNo
@Common Sense. When will Beyoncé? She has done 2 years ago.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU5SUSWMVK4
@BEYHIVE_MINAJ, please come on now! Who gives a flying f*** about you dumb a** BeyHive.
This trick Beyonce is fooling you all, all of you guys are making her rich…and in reality, she don’t give two cents about you’ll.
Watch, something real bad is about to happen to Beyonce because right now over the globe she is getting more praise than God and he said that he is a jealous God. Look it up!
Then you will see who bows down!
Damnnnnnn!!!!!!!! Beyoncé is so damn s*** and that song and video shows the world who the real QUEEN is. Ha! Not a fan but I love her. She bounce around with class not all slutty like another artists. WOW! what an amazing woman
I find Mariah’s video completely and utterly unnecessary. How about we just celebrate success and not laugh at others’ downfall…
OH NO MOTHER MARIAH!!!!
Yall just praised mariah two weeks ago now you shade her. For what? That’s so sad sam. You are either miserable and bitter and or desperate for hits. Each day the shade gets more sad than yesterday
Sam if you were in the states in cities like philly nyc or Chicago you would get knocked the f*** out. Only punks like you shade people from behind a computer. Just saying
Death to the Music Business
It’s a sad reality that number one albums and awards can be bought. There is no longer an art involved. Due to rule changes at Billboard big companies can now buy large bulk amounts guaranteeing a platinum status. Jay Z fought to have this changed so samsung can buy 1 million to place on their devices. Guaranteeing him a number one album and platinum status.When in truth the albums aren’t physically in the hand of the consumers. I call that kind of record sales #GhostSales.
Now when I see an artist who never sold well to begin with out of nowhere sell 864000 in three days when their last album didn’t come close to that number. You have to really ask yourself the truth. How did that happen? Well if your husband had rules changed in order for big business to get involved your lucrative endorsements can be persuaded to guarantee your albums success such as Pepsi Lorreal H&M Starbucks and now Walmart. If each endorsing company invested several hundred thousand copies? Who really has the album? And she has failed to produce number one single in years. I’m so sad that fans have been brainwashed and are that naive and delusional to believe in this fraud of a successful album. But hey these people still believe she writes. Truth she writes her name on just the copyright document. Uneducated people would say I’m hating. I’m a believer in Truth and nothing but.
