Pop megastar Beyonce may have spent the last month crossing borders on her ‘Mrs.Carter Show’ world tour, but it would seem her self-titled new album has no intentions of leaving the spot it currently resides in.

The US Top Twenty.

Find out how below…

With 71. 44% of this week’s US album sales figures in, Beyonce‘s self-titled studio set is now guaranteed a spot in the Top Twenty this week, with 13,329 units sold thus far.

Representing on a percentage of what its final weekly sales figure will be once the final chart rolls in, her sales now place her at #13, while Katy Perry sits at #16 with 11,613 new copies of her new LP ‘Prism’ sold.

Quite interestingly, despite the media coverage she scored by way of her new video, ‘G.U.Y’ and her ‘controversial’ set at ‘SXSW’, Lady GaGa‘s ‘ARTPOP‘ us unlikely to impact the Top 40 with less than 3,000 copies sold thus far.

Interesting, as it now finds itself being outperformed by Drake‘s ‘Nothing Was the Same’, (3,720), and Jhene Aiko‘s ‘Sail Out‘ EP which is likely to move over 7,000 units by the time this week’s final figures are published.

Then, in what may shock many a sales-spotter, John Legend’s new album ‘Love in the Future’ continues to sneak up on the Gold mark, after last week saw it reach US sales of 378,000 units!

Impressive, as global sales of the LP continue to rise thanks to the renewed interest in his single ‘All of Me‘, which now winks at the 2 million units sold milestone with sales of 1,880,769 copies!

‘Sleeper slayage’ indeed.

  9. lovebird March 25, 2014

    @Digger Bey

    You’ve changed your tune since 4 lol. You even have a new set of balls to shade Gaga now when you were kissing her ass the time she was giving Beyonce a hit (remember that?).

  10. Naomi March 25, 2014

  11. Del Bey March 25, 2014

  12. DIGGER BEY March 25, 2014

    AngryBird….Receipts i was stanning for Gaga when dueted with THE QUEEN. Its always interesting though, when u change the subjects kiiiiii. Why has 4″ the album full of flops” OUTSELL half of R****’s Discography ??!????

    • lovebird March 25, 2014

      If you’re delusional enough to think 4 has outsold Rihanna’s discography, then you’re deluded to believe you never stanned for Gaga when she was giving your fav her only last hit in 6 years.

    • DIGGER BEY March 25, 2014

      You mean like how i were stanning for Shakira before Can’t Remember You FLOPPPPED???? KIIII I don’t think so b*tch

    • DIGGER BEY March 25, 2014

      I meant how u was stanning for Shakira lol

  13. DIGGER BEY March 25, 2014

    Lmao and Oh @ AngryBird. You said Caca was giving THE QUEEN an hit? NA B*tch. THE QUEEN collabo with her during the “IASF ERA”. She had plenty of hits off that album. You do remember that album don’t u??? The one that has OUTSOLD EVERY R**** album except Good Girl Been A H** kiiiiii

    • lovebird March 25, 2014

  14. Jlovetrue March 25, 2014

    Lady Flopga is done

  15. Kyle March 25, 2014

    @Digger Bey Drag a bit sis. Not Lovesick talking about bandwagoning for Gaga when it went from stanning hard for Britney, Katy and Nicki Minaj to dragging them for filth. I cannot.

  16. D-money March 25, 2014

    What makes an artist a flop? Cos y’all really be chattin’ rubbish. The last time I checked all of Rhianna’s albums have gone platinum. She just never had that #1 album until Unapologetic. So what makes her a flop? S**t what makes Kelly & Michelle a flop too? They are all millionaires … while we’re working and minding their business. ….smh

    I don’t comment on these sites. I just needed to say this. I’m out.

  17. LOL March 25, 2014

    LOL H0EONCE STILL HASN’T CROSSED 2 MILLION YET? LOL

    FLOPTITION STILL DROPPING LIKE A BRICK ON THE CHARTS? LOL

    THE STRUGGLE IS REAL LOL

  18. Blue Ivy Carter-Rodriguez March 25, 2014

    I guess love s** and partition is a flop. Ciara, already tried this and failed, what made the dumb hive believe she’ll succeed? Because she’s Beyoncé? Loool where are the rest of the album songs from the lo? Where they on the charts? And don’t come in with “she didn’t promote” excuse. Rihanna didn’t promote pour it up or multiple other songs off unapologetic and it still charted higher than Beyonce’s current songs. Hell even basic Perry had better chart positions

  19. Blue Ivy Carter-Rodriguez March 25, 2014

    You shade gaga but your fave last hit was with her and after that, DECLINE for both artists. Now they are both trying hard to get back on top so one is acting like a world star vine h** and the other is sipping on the same “juice” as Lana del botox

  20. The Great Lacefronce. March 25, 2014

    All of Me has outsold Whale in Love lol ; ) 🙂

  21. DIGGER BEY March 25, 2014

    BEYONCE 1.8 MILLION N 4 MONTHS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ArtSh*t 600k after 5 months LMFAOOOOOOOOOO. #THAT’S THE REAL STRUGGLE

  22. Special Delivery March 25, 2014

    Awww look at pressed Navy seething as usual. Stop acting like Drunk In Love was not a hit. PIU was hit according to yall now you want to dney DIL wasn’t? Lol.

    @Lol why are you worrying about Beyoncé who will go 2x platinum before Gagag ever reached 1 million. 600k for months.

  23. I Stan For Myself March 25, 2014

    You must not go out much if you think Drunk In Love aint a hit. It gets played everywhere in the clubs, getting heavy radio spins, is platinum and went to #2 on the charts. That’s not easy to do with such a hard sounding urban song. But it has catchy lyrics that everyone loves. It was definitely a hit stop being delusional.

  24. Dossome March 25, 2014

    Congrats John…I think him and Janelle Monae had the best RnB albums of last year…Fantasia’s was great too

    • JOHNVIDAL March 25, 2014

      Total agreement!

  25. ROSEGOLD March 25, 2014

    I would love to see John go gold or even platinum. That’ll be a good look for R&B….

  26. DIGGER BEY March 25, 2014

    Struggling 101! 25 Million in promo but after almost 6 Months sales of ArtSh*t stand around 600k in the US and 1.7 million WW. Plus she had an EPIC MELTDOWN N DECEMBER KIIIIIII

    • JOHNVIDAL March 25, 2014

      All lies.

  27. I Stan For Myself March 25, 2014

    And congrats to John Legend. He deserves it, true talent.

  28. DIGGER BEY March 25, 2014

    Gurl how stupid are u?? Hoeianna with her non promoted hits off Unaflop sits at 1.1 million. *Looks at Billboard 200* While BEYONCE sits at 1.8 million n months. She outsold the poptarts without #1 hits. #BYE B*TCH

  29. Benji March 25, 2014

    I swear Rihanna fans should keep quiet because when Rihanna releases her album this year the Hive will drag for FILTH is she doesn’t see even close to Beyonces sales this era si ce yall continue to run your mouths even when Bey is doing is great.

  30. Blue Ivy Carter-Rodriguez March 25, 2014

    Oh that’s right.. Since Beyoncé is outselling Rihanna in the US then that’s the “receipt” you’re going to use. Typical hive. So you can post her worldwide tour numbers from two tours but not her singles or album sales? Lmfao… Drunk in love is a local hit, which Beyoncé is .

    • slay_hive March 25, 2014

      Why are you so pressed baby! Don’t the Navy love to use her U.S. #1’s??? Why do ya’ll run from her U.S. album sales? Is it because even with all her hits Beyonce STILL outsells her in the U.S.( The largerst and most important market) ? kii

      The only album to under-perform WW is 4. Keep clinging on to that for dear life. You look desperate sweetheart!

      DIL is urban. Rihanna can only sell pop songs WW. Beyonce is winning and you will learn to deal b****!

  31. DIGGER BEY March 25, 2014

    Chile don’t u know that’s the difference between singles artists? Hoeianna and the others have to score those hits because if they don’t. They ass won’t see platinum sales like ArtSh*t

  32. Blue Ivy Carter-Rodriguez March 25, 2014

    That still doesn’t answer my question. Who has the most worldwide numbers? Or are you going to count dc sales towards hers as well just so she can have a higher number. Lmfao omg

    • ashley March 25, 2014

      #SALES Single Ladies has now passed 10M sales worldwide. Beyoncé has also now surpassed 100M total single sales WW (In reliable sales only)

      Note: 100M single sales figure also contains some album tracks that were not released as singles
      SEETHE NAVY!!!!

  33. anonymous March 25, 2014

    Congrats john. 378k is good. hopefully he goes gold.

  34. DIGGER BEY March 25, 2014

    Somebody please come and get this Pathetic Idiotic Rihc*nt lol. He/she is Embarrassing the hell out of their self kiiiii. Chile THE QUEEN album sales are currently SHITTING on Unflop and all her previous albums. Two tours???? Gurl bye. You’re still seeeeething over THE QUEEN having the top grossed tour of 2013 by a female lmfaooooo. Its ok hun. DIL the local hit wasn’t even released WW and still charted @#1, top 5 and the top ten in some countries. R**** could never. #GURL SEEEEETH ON

  35. DIGGER BEY March 25, 2014

    Hoeianna better have the highest numbers with 7 albums. Against someone with 5. Question though??? Why isn’t she on the RIAA with 7 Albums??? Kiiii

    • slay_hive March 25, 2014

      LOL that b**** is so slow! The Queen is not far behind with only 4 albums counted towards her WW records! Rihanna has seven and a million more single releases. smh They struggle chile

  36. slay_hive March 25, 2014

    The Queen STAYS slaying while the fans of lessors stay seething! lmaooooooo

  37. Blue Ivy Carter-Rodriguez March 25, 2014

    Call me slow, Call me an idiot, call me whatever you may please but I’m still waiting for an answer. How come you can’t answer my question? You all are sitting there calling me names and such, though you choose to waste your time and energy to reply back? I must have gotten y’all pressed.

    Anyways back to the facts, if Beyoncé has sold 5 million worldwide and has a tour gross of over 200 million (2 in 1 tours plus festivals) and you’re going to add DCs numbers to further inflate her albums figures then Rihanna has sold nearly 50 million albums and over 120 singles.

    If not then Rihanna would still be at 37 million albums while Beyoncé would be at 28 (without DC inflation)

    • slay_hive March 25, 2014

      You don’t have anyone pressed. YOU are sitting here in a Beyonce post trying to argue with WEAK Rihanna stats!

      The fact remains that Beyonce’s NEW album has outsold the last 4 of Rihanna’s albums in the U.S. in under three months. Beyonce will be coming for Rihanna’s WW numbers soon, being that this is a NEWLY released album! DUH! LOL

      Beyonce’s tour outgrossed Rihanna’s LAST year with 188 Million! 108 dates counted. Doing mostly arenas. She outsold Justin Bieber AND Pink. Both having more dates than her. The date excuse is so lame and tired now. Beyonce won. DEAL!

      The reboot of the MCSWT is just that. A REBOOT! Many artists tour for years. Gaga did it. Madonna has done it! So I fail to see the point you are trying to make. The set list is the same with just a few minor changes. It’s the same tour. #PRESSED

      WE don’t have to add DC’s number to Beyonce’s sales. Beyonce’s solo sales have surpassed that of DC’s. Her WW record sales are at 135 Million with FOUR albums. Not too far behind your fave with SEVEN! Do the math and seethe!

      The fact remains that Beyonce will always be steps ahead of BASICanna without even trying! DEAL!

      SN: Your logic is F*****! smh lol

  38. OrangeJuiceInstead March 25, 2014

    Congrats to John and Jhene for the underdog salvage!

    Beyonce is Beyonce so I’m not surprised she’s doing fine.

    Gaga…. Honey at this point I can’t even hate on you, this era is a mess. I’ll send roses to the memorial.

  39. DIGGER BEY March 25, 2014

    SLAY HIVE…..That b*tch don’t get it..lmao. Nobody in this post added or said anything about DC sales counted towards THE QUEEN. The Rihc*nt is skipping around the fact that Hoeianna is behind THE QUEEN in solo album sales, so he/she is trying to add the records sales in because that’s the only thing the h** has over THE QUEEN. Your ass though is skipping around my question lmaoooo. Why isn’t Whoreianna on the RIAA with 7 albums???? THE QUEEN made the cut with 4 Albums KIIIIIIII KIIIIII

    • slay_hive March 25, 2014

      LOL They are such sore losers! They just refuse to accept that they won’t win against the Queen.

  40. DIGGER BEY March 25, 2014

    And your ass is Inflating her album sales kiiii. That Cumbucket hasn’t even crossed the 30 million mark yet WW. Lmao…So i don’t know where your seeeeething a*** is trying to say she has lmfaoooooo. The Earthly Struggle kiiiiii. THE QUEEN on the otherhand; is heading towards 40 million. Speaking of album sales….BEYONCE is well on its way to outperform Unaflop & TTT COMBINED! #QUEEEEEEEEEEEN

  41. ashley March 25, 2014

    #SALES Single Ladies has now passed 10M sales worldwide. Beyoncé has also now surpassed 100M total single sales WW (In reliable sales only)

    Note: 100M single sales figure also contains some album tracks that were not released as singles

    SEETHE NAVY!!!!

  42. the king March 25, 2014

    Beyonce is taking social media by storm!

    Only 525 instagram posts with o following and only a few thousand from 11 Million followers in just a few months.

    Rihanna: 2461 instagram posts, 1242 following and 12.4 Million followers

    Beyonce’s posts average 100’s of thousands more likes as well!

    Bey bout to takeover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m here for it

  43. JOHNVIDAL March 25, 2014

    People are so damn stupid. Especially TGJ writes. If G.U.Y. video has any impact in Artpop sales or not (probably it won´t in an important way) will be seen next week, not this one. So ignorant. She slayed with the video regardless btw.

    And congrats to John Legend! I´m still so surprised the album is having this second life in the charts. He and Janelle Monae released the best albums of last September. I wish Janelle could have this second opportunity too. His total sales are looking good now.

    • the desperation March 25, 2014

      If the video was “slaying” like you claim wouldn’t it show currently on the itunes chart? Why must it wait to next week? The video was pretty decent but the music, which is most important, is subpar garbage.

      • JOHNVIDAL March 26, 2014

        The video slayed. What does that have to do with chart success? Talent and quality doesn´t equal success. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn´t.
        And btw I was just correcting TGJ, they made it seem as if Artpop album sales should be influenced by the release of the video in this weeks Billboard 200, when the impact will be seen next week, not this one (probably it won´t have any impact anyway). I don´t get your comment.
