45,467 music lovers picked up Beyonce‘s latest body of work in the last week, showing their support for the extended version of her self-titled new album and handing it a Top Ten spot on this week’s ‘Billboard 200.’

Fortunately for the singer, track equivalent sales and streams pushed the album’s opening figure well over the 70,000 mark, with ‘Beyonce Stats‘ reporting that it opened with a commendable 71,000 units.

Unfortunately, not even the continued success of her latest single ‘Beg For It’ could help Iggy Azalea‘s EP ‘Reclassified’, which failed to crack the Top 50 after selling less than 13,000 units in its opening week.

Here’s hoping her second studio album doesn’t fare as poorly.
