Beyonce’s ‘Lemonade’ Rockets To #1 On iTunes / ‘Formation’ Flies Into Top 10

And so it begins.

Beyonce‘s ‘Lemonade’ is flooding the digital marketplace in a big way.

Full story below…

Released to iTunes only hours ago, following an exclusive streaming run on TIDAL, the diva’s sixth studio effort has hit #1 in 45 (yes, 45) countries:

#1 United States
#1 United Kingdom
#1 Argentina
#1 Armenia
#1 Australia
#1 Barbados
#1 Bulgaria
#1 Canada
#1 Chile
#1 China
#1 Costa Rica
#1 Cyprus
#1 Dominican Republic
#1 Ecuador
#1 Estonia
#1 Ghana
#1 Greece
#1 Hong Kong
#1 Ireland
#1 Israel
#1 Italy
#1 Kazakhstan
#1 Kenya
#1 Macau
#1 Malaysia
#1 Malta
#1 Mexico
#1 Mozambique
#1 Namibia
#1 Netherlands
#1 Nigeria
#1 Peru
#1 Philippines
#1 Romania
#1 Singapore
#1 South Africa
#1 Slovenia
#1 Spain
#1 Sweden
#1 Taiwan
#1 Thailand
#1 The Bahamas
#1 Trinidad and Tobago
#1 Ukraine
#1 Vietnam

In an interesting move, the singer has chosen to make each of the LP’s songs available stand-alone. A practice which is commonplace for her contemporaries, yet one she shunned with her 2013 self titled set.

The decision is having a profound effect on taster track ‘Formation,’ which was – upon its February release – never made available for purchase and instead given away for free on TIDAL.

As at writing, the fiery track now sits at #4 on US iTunes. A number which would easily be higher if not for the influx of Prince songs populating the top 10. It’s also enjoying similar success in the UK.

*****************

Say what folk will about Bey, but there’s no denying the enduring buzz that surrounds any and everything she does.

In premiering a full body of work yet allowing the songs to be bought separately, it’s clear Team Bey will hone in on whichever catch on most and proceed from there.

It’s a smart move and one only a select class of acts are privileged to be able to make.

As at writing, (beyond ‘Formation’) the cuts ‘Sorry’ and ‘Hold Up’ are smashing most worldwide. And though ‘Freedom,’ ‘Sandcastles’ and ‘Daddy Lessons’ resonate most for yours truly, it’s undoubtedly most logical to go where the momentum blows.

Stay tuned for the net’s most thorough coverage of Beyonce’s ‘Lemonade’!

      • BOOBIE April 25, 2016

        “Has no talent like Rihanna” I mean I like Rihanna for the most part but let’s be real here…

      • Ilovemusic April 25, 2016

        I’m going to have to call your bluff there. Adele and Taylor just drop albums. Rihanna had a website which pretty much had people on a scavenger hunt, and an IG page for her album. On top of that Samsung bought 1 million copies prior. She didn’t just drop an album.

      • BeyKnowlesBest April 25, 2016

        Oh just shutup now go listen to needed me or something u so bitter smh

      • obsidian April 25, 2016

        @rosy3….or whatever your handle name is, you sound absolutely ridiculous by making the assertion that Adele, Rihanna, and Taylor has talent! You’ve got to be a white queen spewing such ignorance, for it’s ignoramus’ like you that contribute to the decline of real artistry by supporting nonsense! PLEASE GOD, CAN YOU PLEASE KILL THE CAREERS OF ALL THREE OF THE ARTIST THIS DUMBASS NAMED, SO THAT WE CAN RESSURECT WHIT, LUTHER, MIKE, AND PRINCE! THANK U!!

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) April 25, 2016

      I WAS JUST GOIN TO SAY THE SAME THING…..I THINK IT OCULD HAVE, IF SHE JUST RELEASED THE DAMN SONG. BUT I GET IT, IT WOULD NOT HAVE REFLECTED THE STORY LEMONADE WAS ABOUT..LOVE, BETRAYAL..E.T.C

    • Kayla C April 25, 2016

      You’re delusional if you think she will have a billboard number 1 song from this album lol

      • I’m Booked April 25, 2016

        & What Will You Say If She Does? ???

  6. Metzo April 25, 2016

    LMAHIIKKKKKBDBSBDVDBDDNSNSJDHDH LMAOOO NOT FORMATION SLAYING like this. THE QUEEN OF MUSIC. #Power. It would have been #1 if not for Prince. And it would have def been a BB100 top 10 if she simultaneously released it for sale 3 months ago and to all formats 3 months ago! Ughhh petty

    • Len April 25, 2016

      It’s very likely Beyoncé can go #1 depending on how many downloads it receive on ITunes

  7. Surprise..(DEC 2013) April 25, 2016

    P.S THIS ALBUM IS 18 DOLLARS AND IS STILL SELLING LIKE THIS…DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • No Stan Zone April 25, 2016

  8. B_Roni April 25, 2016

    Rihanna is shady. I love her but she is shady as hell lol. If she release what I think she about to release ,no one can tell me that her and bey aren’t rivals . I think both of them be sitting in a mansion on the phone plotting ways to have folks talking .

    • RihYonce April 25, 2016

  9. HailBeysus April 25, 2016

  11. RihYonce April 25, 2016

    The queen always slays ! Y’all gone learn to stop underestimating her !!

  12. WhosBad April 25, 2016

    but,but,but I thought nobody cared about formation? I thought the 2 day exclusive with Tidal was going to ruin her sales? lol if it’s one thing you should have learned by now it’s to never doubt Beyonce selling power. Even with people spreading zippyshare links and illegally getting the album for 2 days people still buy her music not to mention the album is expensive lol

  13. Kayla C April 25, 2016

    Why are you boys on this site so girly?

    • RICHIE_RICH April 25, 2016

      ???????

      • IStan4Rihanna. April 25, 2016

        It’s the third Beyonce album I now own.

        .

        It’s a very good album, Hon. The second half is a little “dreary” than the first half and I feel that the overall atmosphere dwindles some (in all honesty) but, sonically speaking, I like the stylistic differences throughout the record especially the rock, country, roots-reggae and blues samples and the majority of the visuals are stunning of course. I definitely wouldn’t classify this album as a ‘mainstream’ record though but congrats to her nonetheless – I love 7/8 of the 12 songs.
        .
        It’s the best album of the year thus far alongside ‘ANTI’ and ‘TLOP’, personally speaking. 🙂

  16. RihYonce April 25, 2016

    The album is $18 the most expensive female album this decade & its slaying so hard rn , can your favs do that ?

  17. Metzo April 25, 2016

    If she releases Formation on Vevo and FINALLY officially releases it to radio, IT WILL SLEIGH THE FYCK DOWNNNN. Too bad it prob wont chart cause of those reason. But the sales will still be in:)))

    What a bad time to be a Bey hater BWAHHHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA

  18. RihYonce April 25, 2016

    Formation. Could’ve been top 3 or maybe even #1 in the hot 100 ! I hate her for giving the song away like that ?

    • Beckywithgoodhair April 25, 2016

      But she was smart if you ask me !! Most ppl want to own the song the legal way!!! Lol like she said I did not come to play with you h*** I came to slay b****

  19. #KenyaInFormation April 25, 2016

    YAAAAAS, I JUST GRABBED MINE. GO GRAB YOURS.

  20. LB April 25, 2016

    I cannot wait to see where Formation ends up charting.

    • WhosBad April 25, 2016

      The fact that the song top itunes after being FREE for months is more than enough. Without streaming it won’t debut high but it proves that there IS interest in the song and you would have to be delusional (which you are) to think had she released this song normally it wouldn’t have done well.

      • LB April 25, 2016

        Don’t many songs chart on iTunes as soon as an album is released? Is this your first time buying an album off of iTunes?

      • WhosBad April 25, 2016

        You sound stupid, it’s not normal for a song that was released for free over TWO months ago to chart in the top 5 when the majority of the public has already downloaded it. I mean I find it funny that this is coming from the Navy when you all cry and scream that the reason Anti is flopping is because people could get it “for freee!!!1” There is no way to downplay it, you all screamed for months that nobody had interest in the song , they do. Now drink that unsweetened lemonade tugboat.

      • LB April 25, 2016

        If you buy music like me, you’d know that songs off of an album typically fly up the iTunes charts when an album is released.

        You’ve clearly shown that you either don’t buy music or haven’t even bought this one; if you did, you’d know this.

      • WhosBad April 25, 2016

        Cute reach, and lol at any NAVY member ever talking about buying anything that isn’t a single, I never said that album tracks don’t chart r***** I said that for this one to be the highest charting one after being available for free is a feat and no amount of fumes will change that.

      • LB April 25, 2016

        Doesn’t matter, it is a common phenomenon that songs rocket up when an album is released.

        And yes this Navi member is talking about buying albums, hence me demonstrating knowledge in this phenomenon and you exposing your ignorance. Difference being I buy albums and you don’t.

      • WhosBad April 25, 2016

        You buy albums yet Anti WW sales are tragic? Please everybody with working eye balls can see if it ain’t free it ain’t Navy. Go stream work or enter a free Anti World Tour give away and wait for HDD to report that Beyonce debuts higher than Anti at 18 bucks a pop

      • Hmmm…. $17.99>>>>>$0.00 April 25, 2016

        “If it ain’t free, it ain’t Navy” ???????? *Dies violently from asphyxiation* ????????

  21. LB April 25, 2016

    And can hits hurry up with those predictions.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) April 25, 2016

    • Metzo April 25, 2016

      Give it up..
      If she outsells Anti in one week i’ll fuchin cry!! And without a #1 at that! Hahah

  28. Keri Qween April 25, 2016

    Prince blocking ??

    Y’all bragging about formation but Purple Rain like 20 years old is outselling it kii

    • RICHIE_RICH April 25, 2016

      We don’t care about that. Prince just died and we as the hive respect his shiit

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) April 25, 2016

      YOU FOOL….CAN U IMAGINE IF MICHAEL DIED WHEN I TUNES WAS POPPING LIKE THIS. DO YOU THINK WOULD HAVE OUT CHARTED HIM…..WORRY ABOUT KERI NOWHERESON NEXT STEP IN HER BABYSITTING CAREER..BYE!!!

      • Keri Qween April 25, 2016

        Surely shell sell a million copies first week like the hive said

    • RihYonce April 25, 2016

      Prince just died you idiot! You mad because Keri will never chart again ???

      • Keri Qween April 25, 2016

        Purple rain>ghettomation

    • LB April 25, 2016

      Gurl they don’t know how iTunes works. That album can fall of just as fast as it climbed those iTunes charts. Let’s wait for those HDD predictions.

      • Keri Qween April 25, 2016

        ?lb its funny, they don’t unsersrand prince has been selling for days . he debuted #1,off 1 day sales

        I hope he takes the #1 spot next week too and blocks her, I’m gonna dieee. Then drake is gonna block her so this will be short lived once Views drops.

      • LB April 25, 2016

        Gurl let them have their moment, what matters is what the album will sell at the end of the day.

        I remember when Zayn had this sort of boost for his album, only to underwhelm.

        Cannot wait for the end of the day, Hits DD will be an interesting read.

        And not them getting excited over Formation when just a few weeks ago, singles don’t matter LMAO.

      • Keri Qween April 25, 2016

        Honey I can’t wait for predictions! They hype about formation because you and Mark have been dragging it forever ??.

        Remember they said this would sell more than Self Titled .

        Prince sold 100k in 24 hrs two days ago so they need to keep it cute. Just because its #1 today doesn’t mean it’ll debut at #1

  29. Bitchpleaseeee April 25, 2016

    Omg even Ghana? ???????

  30. Absolved April 25, 2016

    I love it when Bey turns the mirror right back around on the haters and trolls. They’re quiet right now, but I KNOW that they’re sitting there, taking all this in; seething, experiencing stress headaches and feverish tears, all while trying to gather their scattered “wits” to figure out how they’re going to clap back against all this.

    No #460 here, folks! 😈

  31. Cake like Lady GaGa April 25, 2016

    LOL, THE MELTDOWNS FROM THE SUBMARINES WHEN FORMATION GOES TO NUMBER ONE. I will be perched here. Mark, loose booty and the other irrelevant hooes will DIE. Trannyyonce is slaying Riherrppes

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) April 25, 2016

      THEY ARE IN TEARS!!!!!!!! LOOSEBOOTY IS PROBABLY CUTTING HIMSELF RIGHT NOW.

    • RihYonce April 25, 2016

      & its #1 !!! ???

  32. Diamond April 25, 2016

    Okay i take everything back. For an album as expensive as Lemonade to be #1 in all those countries is quite a feat… 300k fist would be really impressive. We’ll see

  33. LB April 25, 2016

    Oh by the way, Rihanna just inked a $10 million make up deal (Fenty beauty) with LVMH (another billion dollar corporation) according to the NY Post.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) April 25, 2016

      AND FORMATION IS GOING TO OUTGROSS EVERY FRIHANNA TOUR…EVERYBODY WINS!!!!!!!

    • Metzo April 25, 2016

      This is not the post heau. No one cares

      • LB April 25, 2016

        And yet you replied

    • RICHIE_RICH April 25, 2016

      Well congrats , I mean she not making money from albums sales, maybe a lil from singles. Guess a girl gotta do what a girl gotta do….#6inch

      • LB April 25, 2016

        And yet she owns her masters and got paid $28 million from Samsung. Columbia still getting a cut from your girl.

      • RICHIE_RICH April 25, 2016

        The lies you tell. Why is it that formation is #3 and needed me is #35?

      • LB April 25, 2016

        Because of the momentum off of the album. If you buy music off of iTunes like me, you’d know that typically when an album is released, songs on the album fly up the charts and quickly fall off.

        This must be your first time buying an album.

      • RICHIE_RICH April 25, 2016

        Chile cut your mess I’ve been with Apple for years. I know how Apple works. The broke navy didn’t buy the album from iTunes they got it free. Lol joke on you boo??????. It’s so sour but sweet at the same time

      • LB April 25, 2016

        You clearly don’t if you can ask a question like that. You might have an Apple account but you clearly don’t buy music like me.

        I got the free copy, bought the album off of iTunes and bought the physical copy. I also stream the album on my Spotify premium and streamed the hell out of it on my Tidal account.

      • RICHIE_RICH April 25, 2016

        Who are you to say I don’t buy music like you? Suck my balls …..pause.

      • LB April 25, 2016

        Going by the ignorance you have exhibited on the subject matter, I can confidently say you don’t buy albums.

      • RICHIE_RICH April 25, 2016

        Chile please you better sips this lemonade. I know your cup full

    • Hmmm…. $17.99>>>>>$0.00 April 25, 2016

      Lmaooo, Frihanna knows she needs to make her money elsewhere. What’s she gonna do, earn from Anti’s sales? The Anti tour? Kiiiii.. “In 2015, Beyoncé brought in just under $55 million… and that was essentially her downtime.” -Forbes.. Death. Frih better get all of the makeup and clothing deals she can get to keep up.

    Queen Bey snatched my coins and my edges chile. I’m a little sad there’s only like 2 radio potential songs…but oh well I will be playing this masterpiece on Beypeat

    • Lana Del Fan April 25, 2016

      Sorry, 6inch, Daddy Lessons, Love Drought, Freedom, All Night are all single worthy.

      • BOOBIE April 25, 2016

        You’re actually right. I listened to the whole album three more times and honestly I hear radio potential in all songs but three STILL GREAT tracks (Pray You Catch Me, Daddy Lessons and Forward). I even think Don’t Hurt Yourself could slay the radio waves.

      • BOOBIE April 25, 2016

        And don’t get me wrong, Daddy Lessons can definitely impact country radio, but I don’t know if it’ll be supported on that format as well as it should

  43. SMH April 25, 2016

    Rihanna, Adele, Taylor, they ALL went to #1 on iTunes on the first day with multiple songs in the top 20. Ao exactly what’s so special about beyonce doing what others have already done before her?

    • Keri Qween April 25, 2016

      @smh

      Exactly. The hive+ does the most

    • Hmmm…. $17.99>>>>>$0.00 April 25, 2016

      Done before her.. Oh Really? Which one of Frih’s albums were priced at $18??

      • Absolved April 25, 2016

        Rihanna wouldn’t dare attempt to sell an album for that much. LOL!

      • SMH April 25, 2016

        And that means what exactly? Point is Rihanna hit #1 on iTunes with multiple songs in the top 20, before beyonce. So once again, this is nothing special since they all did it before beyonce. At least the other girls were also able to squeeze out a Billboard #1 hit as well.

      • Hmmm…. $17.99>>>>>$0.00 April 25, 2016

        Beyoncé is accomplishing what the “others” did with a higher price tag you dunce. “What’s so special about Beyoncé doing what others have already done before her?” That’s like saying, what’s so special about you selling that car For $500k when I was able to sell the same car for $200k… ????????
        ————————————————————-Don’t worry you’ll learn more about this when you get to algebra.

    its top case it just release please the album is boring

  51. Spoken Reason April 25, 2016

    Hype aside, this is her best work. It’s far more personal than self-titled and gives a taste of B’Day and 4. Sorry, Freedom and 6 Inch are my top three as of now. Congrats B! She deserves it!

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) April 25, 2016

      Her vocals on DADDY LESSONS shitt on anything ANTI-C*** ALBUM.

  52. Cinnamon Girl April 25, 2016

      Not a Ciara stan. You can tell you’re an ugly fatherless c***. You poor thing

    • BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 April 25, 2016

      Real number (that means album sales that were purchased by actually fans… Not by Samsung). Watch Bey outsell Anti… 3 months later has Anti scanned 500k. You girls mad!

  54. DIABETIC STROKE April 25, 2016

    I have to agree with @LB its not her best work. All 5 of her last albums with the exception of the now severly outdated & outdone Bday are stronger. Self titled 4 & DIL especially. But LEMONADE is still good and has stronger songs than most the songs on self titled. Not her best but even so it blows her nearest competitors to pieces ANTI & PABLO and will no bdoubt outsell them.
    I just wonder about the singles, the last 20 seconds of 6 inches are Epic but i dont really like the song much, freedom while i respect it Is too abrasive as is Dont hurt yurself and sorry too urban. The best beat at singlesare while i applaud the rock influences i like the raegae & country Folk more so the singles should be HOLD UP, DADDY LESSONS, & SAND CASLES OR ALL NIGHT

    #2 Formation.

    Aaliyah its your opinion album is great depend on tastes so dont judge…..

  62. Bee April 25, 2016

    I’m a fan of bey new album I think it’s brilliant , but why does she the only act that get this much coverage from TGJ when it comes to music they’re bias to everyone else

    • SWISH April 25, 2016

      because the f** that runs this blog lives up her ass and doesn’t realize that the blog will remain local af with zero credibility until they remove the petty bias

      • RICHIE_RICH April 25, 2016

        How is it local? It’s a U.k base blog. Most of the reader are from Us , Africa, France etc ?????

  63. Bey-Minaj April 25, 2016

    She did not come to play with yall. LEMONADE by Beyoncé is now number 1 in over 70 countries on iTunes! And Formation is number 1 on iTune. Where dem formation haters at? ???

  64. Usual Observer April 25, 2016

    This is tew much! The impact Bey has is too real, y’all. I wonder how it feels to have THAT much power? Like, being one of the most influential people in the entire world. She was born for it, though.

  65. Alex April 25, 2016

    People are really b*** hurt over the QUEEN I see!! Beyoncé is coming for your faves and u will deal!! The navy is so damn delusional!! Formation is slaying two months after it was GIVEN away! Y’all were talking about anti slaying after it was free for one day?? Bow down to the QUEEN of longevity. Y’all said she was scared to release and go head to head with Ri??? Well she just did!!! Now what?? Beyoncé RUNS THIS MOTHA!!! Sit back, relax, and enjoy!!!

  66. xo Drea April 25, 2016

    I don’t know what it is, but Bey has her foot on the industries neck. She makes people WANT her albums like none other. She literally makes the world stop in its tracks every time. Bey is a wonder… 19 years into her career & still slaying HARD! Not too many artists regardless of color can say that. Now being an honest fan, Lemonade hasn’t drawn me in like her previous albums have but I appreciate her releasing an honest, raw, experimental body of WORK.

    Now, as for Rihanna I feel like Anti is her best work and I applaud her for going against the grain. Both ladies went against the industries standards and expectations and they deserve to be APPLAUDED, not downed by trolls.

  67. Who gonna check me boo?? April 25, 2016

    The iconic Rolling Stone t gave her a five star rating all y’all opinions are IRELEVENT at this point. Only 15 album since 2000 receive five stars

  68. ???Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??? April 25, 2016

    Doesn’t anyone else think that “XO” just absolutely touches your heart? I’d love to play it at my future wedding.

    • xo Drea April 25, 2016

      I love that song. It deserved more promo.

  69. Absolved April 25, 2016

    “Formation” is a flop, tho. Right? Hahaha. Eat crow haters! (And y’all don’t get no hot sauce with it.)

  70. Nigeria loves rihanna April 25, 2016

    Am not surprised anyway, the hype with her other album is more than the hype with this lemonade s*** yet none of the song went nos1 on BB, so calm down y’all, let’s see what the chart will be liking like in a week time. Am not surprised it’s always the Beyonce hype. Probably she is somewhere with her team downloading her flop album like she did with the other album.

    • KVH April 25, 2016

      Lemonade is going to SLAUGHTER Anti’s sales. Get ready and prepare to deal.

  71. Nigeria loves rihanna April 25, 2016

    Can Beyonce release album with out visuals & let the music chart on its own? Don’t worry when the hype is over we see just like formation hype. Rihanna work top chart without any video. Try hard Beyonce can never release a song without video. I can’t wait for Hdd prediction if she doesn’t sell pass adele with all these hype imma be rolling on floor laughing.

    • xo Drea April 25, 2016

      The thing is, Beyonce enjoys visuals. This goes all the way back to Bday. It’s just what she does. Remember though, she doesn’t need visuals or a #1 single to slay. Look at 4. It leaked weeks before its release and RTW didn’t do that well but she still debuted at #1 with 350K sold. She’s BEYONCE, and she will ALWAYS sell. Stop hating.

    • XoMoDe April 25, 2016

      She’s gonna pass Rihanna’s sales. That’s good enough for me! Toodles! 😉

  74. Alex April 25, 2016

    So formation is #1 on iTunes?????? THOUGHT IT WOULDNT CHART NAVY!!!!!!!! Y’all ugly asses stay eating YOUR WORDS!!!!!

  75. T April 25, 2016

    Formation is #1 on iTunes!!!! Where those delusional Ciara/Rihanna stans that said nobody was checking for formation??? It’s been free for 3 months and ppl are still buying it. Your faves could never.

  76. orangeyougladIdidntsaybanana April 25, 2016

    Me in 2013: That’s it. This is the best album Beyoncé will make.

    Me in 2016: Oh crap nvm

  77. King B April 25, 2016

    Surprisingly! Formation is number one!

  78. Molly April 25, 2016

    Cant hate on slayage congrats.

  79. Who gonna check me boo?? April 25, 2016

    Formation came back with a fhucking revenge

  80. RIP April 25, 2016

    Rolling Stones rated the album 5 stars! It’s not her best vocally but my goodness don’t hurt yourself >Anti
    The year they finally kinda go head to head and it’s exactly the way I predicted.
    Rhi won the singles race but got f***** up in everything else.
    Album,critical acclaim,quality of music and tour.
    In the words of Blue “Good job Bey!”

    Boy bye

    Yes Beyoncé give me life all over again!!!!!!

    • Truth April 25, 2016

      Hell nawww, I ain’t sorry. YESSS, I love that!

  82. Thando April 25, 2016

    It deserves all the success. This is her best album by far. Her versatility in the different genres but not sounding like she’s out of place. Even without the “visuals” the sonics are enough. 95/100. She proved me wrong. Not over sang or over produced and almost no s** being sold. I just wish there were actual CDs out. I feel like I don’t have the album even though I got it on itunes.

    • RICHIE_RICH April 25, 2016

      I feel the same way. I need the actual album on deck?????

  83. UPGRADEBOY April 25, 2016

    I swear formation si a bad beetch lmao

  84. Charlie April 25, 2016

    The album reminds me of her Stevie Wonder tribute, absolutely slayed!

  85. Career Ender April 25, 2016

    Congrats Queen

    do all the draggings for us

  86. SWISH April 25, 2016

    LMFAOOO @ the hive using itunes positions to praise bey but when the navy did it for for rih w/ anti, itunes chart positions didn’t hold any weight ??????

    • RIP April 25, 2016

      Anti didn’t make a huge impact, it charted high based off of streaming alone so WTF are you even talking about?B**** go buy Anti!??????????????????

      • SWISH April 25, 2016

        lol typical b*****+ logic .. an album charting on streams alone says more than an album charting from sales and streams dumb f***

    • Who gonna check me boo?? April 25, 2016

      Girl bye you talking as if Anti moved massive units. did Anti even had 200k sale it first full week???? We know you know your grandma now that the Queen will do wayyy more than that plus I don’t think that Anti had 60 percent of it song on the top 10 either

      • SWISH April 25, 2016

        ^^ lmao further proving my point .. she gave away a million copies and STILL went #1

  87. Memo April 25, 2016

    Let’s see how many copies it sells.

  88. My name is Cierror April 25, 2016

    Beyoncé’s new set, Lemonade (Columbia), became available for download on iTunes and Amazon Sunday night; it hit at #1 on the iTunes album chart early Monday morning after sitting one slot below The Very Best of Prince. “Formation,” previously unavailable for download, is #2 on the singles chart, behind only “Purple Rain.”

    Early reads say the album could do between 400k-600k first week.

    Physical product is due on 5/6. Tidal will have a permanent exclusive on the streaming front. There is, sources say, no plan to take the album wide on that platform.

  89. LB April 25, 2016

    Columbia is not confident with this project, you’ll soon find out why if Samantha hasn’t finished typing it up.

    • My name is Cierror April 25, 2016

      400-600K predictions baby!!! Anti hasn’t even sold that in total! Rihanna is a flop like Ciara!!!

      • LB April 25, 2016

        Columbia is saying 200K

      • SWISH April 25, 2016

        anti is plainum. your broke and irrelevant opinion < an RIAA certification

      • SWISH April 25, 2016

        platinum*

      • My name is Cierror April 25, 2016

        Zzzzzzzzzz you know damn well Beyonce isn’t doing Unapologetic numbers

      • My name is Cierror April 25, 2016

        How are those pure sales doing though?

      • Career Ender April 25, 2016

        its still more than Anti 1st and 2nd week sales and streams combined
        .
        so…

      • SWISH April 25, 2016

        we’ll see if lemonade goes platinum in 14 hours

    • XoMoDe April 25, 2016

      Even if that crock of horseshit you’re spouting is true, that would STILL be more – a lot more – than what Anti actually sold in first week. Probably more than it did in its first two weeks. Fall back. Lemonade is going to strangle Anti. Hell, if it has sold more than 460, then it already has…

    • Anne April 25, 2016

      200k is the 1 day of sales prediction, 400k to 600k is the prediction for the whole week. Anyway these numbers are very early reads so it could easily deviate up or down. Either way it looks like she will do well and I’m glad she has released just in time for a much needed musical distraction. Haven’t bought it yet but I will be doing so shortly.

    …and suddenly LB shuts up after having its face kicked to the floor. Beyonce sells more in a day than Rihanna does in what, a month? Heh.

    • Navy Captain April 25, 2016

      Do your research hoee. Rihanna gave away approximately 1.4 million free copies and still opened with nearly 200k. Hop off Rihanna’s cl!t and celebrate Bey instead of attempting to drag Rih. Trust me. She is doing just fine.

  94. Annalise April 25, 2016

    SLAY A TON!

  95. No favs, just here for the music April 25, 2016

    WOAH! That’s amazing. Well deserved and not surprising considering this is Beyonce. You just have to give her respect because how many artist can be in the music game this long and yet outselling the newer artists? Still having this kind of relevance and demand? I don’t even care if people dislike Beyonce or not that deserves RESPECT. I can name quite a few who were also hot during Beyonce’s debut but fell off.

  96. Samsung brought my albums April 25, 2016

  97. FC/JC April 25, 2016

    If I were Hive, I would start gifting Formation to everyone and their families if they want to secure Formation a #1.

    Did she do an #ANTiDiary for this feat????

    LMFAPOOOODWJABHSJ

  98. Janet April 25, 2016

    And this kids, is how you slay on another level. #1 in the world, Formation charting weeks after coming out, and even this post has more comments than any other one. “You know you that b**** when you cause all this conversation”. Well, the proof is in the numbers folks………..SLAY

  99. Royalkev April 25, 2016

    Hmmm, I see folks have been running through emotions on this “Bey day”! For the Hive it hasn’t been denial, anger or emptiness (like the chapters in ‘Lemonade’), but sheer excitement, delight and utter fulfillment! Bey’s slaying and we are proud AF!
