Published: Friday 29th Apr 2016 by Sam

The thirst for Beyonce‘s new album ‘Lemonade’ has been real. So much so that upon the diva’s lavish unleashing of the LP, fans have been lining up in their thousands for a taste. None more so than in the US, where Queen Bey is set to debut on tomorrow’s Billboard 200 with huge numbers.

According to Hits Daily Double‘s FINAL count, ‘Lemonade’ will lunge straight to #1 with US sales of 501,000.

With sales plus streaming (SPS) factored in, Queen Bey’s total rises to 664,000.

The phenomenal feat is rendered even more epic when considering the fact the album is retailing for $17.99 – significantly more than any other release of the tally and $2 more than 2013’s self-titled, which was also packed with video content.

What’s more, the LP has only been available to stream on TIDAL (Jay Z’s platform, of which Bey – along with several other artists – are co-owners of). As at writing, the service has a reported 3 million subscribers – a number which though respectable pales in comparison to the 13 million of Apple Music and 30 million Spotify users. Put simply, the odds were stacked against the singer on the streaming front, but she’s proven her ‘Lemonade’ stand is unshakable.

For it seems being made available on the smaller platform ended up being a win-win; streams from TIDAL subscribers proved sizeable, while those whose allegiances are elsewhere simply purchased.

All in all, an amazing day at the Parkwood office for Mrs. Knowles-Carter!

    Yes queen !!! When she releases it on all streaming platforms it’s a wrap & that’s only 4 day sales ! Keep staying queen !

    • Adelephant (previously HYDROQINONE) April 30, 2016

      and Formation has beenfree number one consistently on ITunes for 6 days straigh so much so that Calvin Harris new track has been desperately trying to knocking it down since Friday but is desperately failing, it’s looking at a top 5 ( possibly a number one debut) bcos for every 24 hours it’s reportedly sold over 30,000 so multiply that by 7 days say 39,000 x 7 that’s the first week digital sales of formation….

      • Adelephant (previously HYDROQINONE) April 30, 2016

        it’s so shocking a song which has been downloaded for free several months prior by virtually everyone is holding on number one position so strongly… it’s Faciniating

      • Rihboy April 30, 2016

        It’s actually number one on the worldwide! According to sakes it’s due to debut at number 1 here as well. In due time. They need to drop a video. That’s all. And it will top. I’m sure it will be debuting in the top 5 and for sure number 1. Furthermore congrats too. Beyoncé on her album sales. Expected a bit more. Hopefully for her fans sakes it doesn’t stall before reaching one million.

      • Rihboy April 30, 2016

        You guys keep comparing anti. Anti had one million downloads plus the 300 k plus it sold. Demand wise it’s still considered 1.3 million. Whether or not it was purchased by Samsung or not. It was a business deal clearly. Clearly anti isn’t even the entire project seeing that she is dropping another. And at this point I don’t believe she cares much about it knowing that all the copies were distributed plus selling an additional 300 k. With streaming it’s probably more than that now. Which is why I know longer get upset about the comparisons! ?. I mean you guys are comparing a star whose been here 10 years prior to Rihanna. That’s the first ki! She has a huge following, and has developed a recipe of using infidelity to sell. She’s always all hype for the first week or two and then she is forgotten. Lemonade was a solid effort, but anti was as well. Both good albums. The hive are so fascinated with comparing bey to Rihanna. As if s threat. But won’t compare her to Adele. Who does 25 percent of what bey does showmanship wise, and still outsells her. Trumps her too be exact. Compare bey when it comes to album selling to high album sellers!! Rihanna’s still sold more records than bey, and has secured more number 1 songs. Several accolades of dominance. But areas like album selling you cannot compare. Rihanna as we all know never debuts with numbers like bey. But she eventually always became platinum. She has several platinum with her best being loud. nor can you compare a tour. Because Beyoncé has always been a tour phenom. I praise Rihanna because for some inevitable reason, you hive members just can’t leave her alone. It’s called low key fan.,you guys like her, but you Stan more for bey. So anyone else doing major things seems as a threat. But funny thing is, it’s been routine. And they have coexisted. But don’t pick fights with people who you claim aren’t worth it, pick fights with people whom you feel worthy of comparing. Adele, Mariah, Madonna. It’s a love hate relationship that you guys have but its cute. Lemonade owes its success to way more people than her. And the young lads who wrote all of the spoken word on the album should be paid handsomely.

    • whenindoubtthetruthwillout April 30, 2016

      Huge sales???

      Sam,huge sales are 3.4 million in a week!!!!!

      Queen Bey? If anyone deserves the title it’s probably Adele.She’s the real Queen!!!!!!!

  2. King B April 29, 2016

    ‘Surprise release would not do well worldwide’
    ‘200k’
    ‘She can’t sell singles’
    ‘She’s washed up’
    ‘White American will stop buying her music’
    ‘Where’s formation on the chart’
    ‘The songs will free fall’
    ‘She’s local’
    ‘She can tour stadium by herself’

    • Beystan_ Since 1997 April 29, 2016

      Clock clock clock clock and more clocking!

      • King B April 29, 2016

        I think there’s a long list to write, y’all are welcome to add in more 🙂

    • Beystan_ Since 1997 April 29, 2016

      The meltdown and excuses in this thread are going to be epic… Grabs my (Sour Patch Kids and Gatorade)

      #Lemonade

      • norosy3 April 30, 2016

        Did blue ivy sell out yet

    • toeknee April 30, 2016

      The seething of the haters is yet to begin, they definitely gonna slit their throat.

      • rosy3 April 30, 2016

        No girl we ain’t slitting no throat for a queen that number is still whack a dele did 3.8 million

    • Rara103 April 30, 2016

      I rather sell a full album rather than just singles.

      • Hmm… $17.99>>>>$0.00 April 30, 2016

        “Albums — remember those? Albums still matter. Albums, like books and black lives, still matter.” -Prince

      • norosy3 April 30, 2016

        Albums that no one will remember with no hits

      • WINTZ April 30, 2016

        Beyoverrated is the Queen of front loaded sales which will deteriorate in the end AS PER USUAL. Where as Rihanna is a Marathon album seller.
        .
        Rihanna sold more ALBUMS and records WORLDWIDE in a SHORTER time period. Beyfake been doing music since her eyes been at her knees and has nothing to show for it besides a legacy of serial stealing syndrome.
        .
        She can’t lock phenomenal music catalyst deals such the one Rih has with Samsung because she isn’t ranked among the minority elite of musicians who OWNS THEIR MASTERS.
        .
        This witch you stand for is a SHAM!! A FARCE! There is NOT one thing in music that this FAKE reigns supreme @ #1 in… She is so washed that she has to depend on touring and even THAT she isn’t number 1 in, as Madonna takes the lead there.
        .
        Sit biiiiii!tch!!

    • Cub Nigeria loves rihanna April 30, 2016

      Yeah everybody is using gimmicks to sell these days but at least Rihanna’s Samsung gimmicks worked for her she was paid 25million & still sold 1.4million in few hours, Beyonce marital gimmicks failed her, without streams she won’t even top her previous album. I thought streams don’t count? Why are y’all counting streams now? How can u make a purchase license joke of ur husband for this kind of depressing figure? Beyonce makes adele look like MJ even though she is a white trash. How can Drake knock out lemonade in just few mins. Am gonna laugh hard when date will debut with a bigger sale than lemonade. Rihanna anti is almost 2million so let me go sip sugarless lemonade.

      • Beystan_ Since 1997 April 30, 2016

        2 million even though her sales without Samsung and Streams are less than 700k… Keep sipping boo!

      • rosy3 April 30, 2016

        I know now the hives include streams gtfoh adele did way better numbers and Taylor without streams physical albums don’t come for rih because she can sell hits Beyonce whack ass music she suppose to have at least that amount of people as fans buying her music the hives can’t compare her to the white artist’s

  3. King B April 29, 2016

    can’t tour stadium*

  4. RihYonce April 29, 2016

    So many great potential #1 songs & top 5 hits on this album I really hope she supports these songs especially “hold up”, “6 inch”! & “sorry”

    • Truth(honey Adel is a has been like nicki) April 30, 2016

      OMG BISH, THOSE ARE MY FAVORITES TOO!!! YAASSSSSS!!!!

    • WINTZ April 30, 2016

      Lol awwwwhhh the blonde’s minions are so cute lusting after “potential number 1s” that will never see the height of BB100 chart.
      .
      Lol this is proof of how envious you minions are of Rihanna’s hits catalogue. Keep dreaming!

  5. Beystan_ Since 1997 April 29, 2016

    501,000 (PURE SALES) F*** STREAMING!!!

    Rihanna stans don’t you ever come for Beyoncé again. My Queen outsold that illegal immigrant in 4 days. What’s the Salvation Army excuse for Rihanna failing to do so in 3 and half months.

    #Lemonade

    • CupidsSanity April 30, 2016

      Anti will soon be 2x plat

      • Beystan_ Since 1997 April 30, 2016

        Samsung 1 million purchased copies don’t count. More importantly subtract all that damn streaming she barley sold less than 500,000. Her album is flopping world wide so please spare me this 2x platinum. You talking as if 2 million actually bought her album!

        #LEMONADE>>>>>>>ANTI

      • toeknee April 30, 2016

        Yeah 2x platinum with less than 350k us & less than 800k pure sales.
        The streaming queen had to get her masters bey&jay to get Samsung to buy her album.
        Let’s see what her network will be when she done paying bey, jay & blue baby their income.
        #carters s****.

    • toeknee April 30, 2016

      Nah that’s just 3 & half days after 2days of HBO, tidal & over 20million illegal download from t******&zippyshare.
      Such a fucxing queen. If she released on all outlets with full week counting she would have done past a million & everyone knows that.

    • Natasha3 April 30, 2016

      You’re an immigrant yourself!!!

      • Beystan_ Since 1997 April 30, 2016

        No boo, Maybe my great grandparents who were brought to America during slavery. However (MYSELF)I was born in North America/USA. Now back to the illegal immigrant who just got outsold by that Texas Bamma in 4 days.

      • Natasha3 April 30, 2016

        You’re still an immigrant you idiot whether you like it or NOT!!!! There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being an immigrant! Some immigrants live better lives than some in the state(s) or else where..

      • norosy3 April 30, 2016

        Where is the number for ivy girl bye oh let me guess

    • rosy3 April 30, 2016

      We going to come for this fake wig lying stripper and what b**** those numbers is still not impressive for a queen you compare this wig with rih do not play w****

    • norosy3 April 30, 2016

      Did ivy sold out yet

    • Ihaterihanna May 7, 2016

      Her dales are not great. With her star power and the Superbowl she should have sold Taylor and Adele numbers.

  6. GurlWepa1989 April 29, 2016

    With all the hype she should be pulling Taylor and Adele’s number. Drake will slaughter and show how it’s done next week. Congrats anyway for her 6th (no competition) #1 Album.

    • Alex April 29, 2016

      What do you mean no competition?? She released the same week as drake. He’s not as BIG as she if but he is a force! Rihanna’s wanna be album was just released this year. Adele is still releasing singles. I mean I guess you’re sort of right, since she is the REIGNING queen! But she releases when she feels. She never hid from ANYONE! Not her fault she sets the bar. ?????

      • T April 30, 2016

        Don’t forget she competed with prince…..a freaking legend

      • Beystan_ Since 1997 April 30, 2016

        The excuses and the obvious attempt to downplay her selling 501,000 in (PURE SALES) in only 4 days is hilarious. Them girls cling to Adele and Taylor even though their (real fav) cant even do Beyoncé’s numbers.

      • Alex April 30, 2016

        @T right!! Which further proves my point that is she was out when artists like prince, Michael, and Madonna’s primes, she would be a FORCE LIKE NO OTHER!

      • Natasha3 April 30, 2016

        She ALWAYS release her abuts when is NO to LITTLE competition!!!!!!! That’s FACT! Prince is competition, HOWEVER, his albums are old, whereas Beyonce’s is new. So why would someone be surprised if she topped him on the char??! If anything, it’s a given and very much so is EXPECTED!!!!

      • norosy3 April 30, 2016

        The only person they compare bey to is baby rih but rih is beating her in hits clothes everything else under the sun Rihanna may not pull through first f****** week but she got bey beat in the 20 years your stripper been out that’s why yall mad 10 years and rih came saw and achieve what no black woman did her resume match that thunder thigh hooves and Beyonce will be remember for only single ladies another artist will come and break her number one albums record it’s not that far fetch overated high class stripper in a leotard

    • AJ April 30, 2016

      Wow so the legend Prince is no competition? Prince and Beyonce did quite well. In comparison, Rihanna’s Anti has been out three months and has only sold around 360,000 units. This is without the 1.4 giveaway gimmick to boost sales. Rihanna also goes down in history for the lowest selling #1 album in history whereas Beyonce is on the positive side of history with 6 consecutive #1 albums!

      • Natasha3 April 30, 2016

        @AJ, you dare talk about how Rihanna’s released her album was a gimmick, And yet Beyonce’s had gimmicks written all over hers!

      • rosy3 April 30, 2016

        Girl it goes down in history that Beyonce is married to the ugliest man on the planet adele did better in a day numbers 3.8 let me throw gaga in 1 million and bey could not even get a milion people for free to watch her sorry hbo

      • norosy3 April 30, 2016

        Let’s match that to adele Taylor gaga what do you come up with rih is not the only artist in town and rih stuff sells out where is house of dereon and ivy park and gluten free cuisine Madonna sells out her tour Katy Perry also tell me who the f*** is Beyonce she ain’t on an island by herself all these women I have name beat beyawnce in every category she is not queen of everything they accomplish what bey cannot

    • Natasha3 April 30, 2016

      @GurlWepa1989, EXACTLY!!!!!

    • rosy3 April 30, 2016

      She trying to look white and can’t compete with the young white girls as someone who been out this long and can’t clock 1 million at least rih had over that in a day wanting her music for free bey could not even get 1 million for free to watch her hbo hives go fly off a cliff everyone talking behind bet back now probably saying this woman to be so big cannot sell a million in a week rih been in the business 10 years bey is 40 years old adele and Taylor got bey in their rear view mirror hives hang it up I will come at yall all the time with f****** logics if you know what that word means if those numbers are for the world then she really falling

  7. Hmm… $17.99>>>>$0.00 April 29, 2016

    20 years into her career, 12 songs, 18 dollars, 4 days of sales, following the death of a legend??SHE CAME TO SLAY BISH!!!!!

    • Cub Nigeria loves rihanna April 30, 2016

      Yeah 20years in the game & she have to sell her marital drama to get those figures oops & keep up with the young artist who are slaying her. At the end Rihanna still gonna sell pass her, anti is almost at 2million with more than 300million streams in USA alone.

      • Beystan_ Since 1997 April 30, 2016

        Subtract those streams and Samsung…How much has she sold in PURE SALES?

  8. Who gonna check me boo?? April 29, 2016

    • rosy3 April 30, 2016

      Girl bye stripping on stage shaking your tail feathers is not talent Beyonce cannot drop music without creating lies those numbers are expected she has that amount of fans the sad thing no one wanted to see her even for free it’s tragic the kardashian gets more people to watch them than bey people wanted rih deal

    • RihYonce April 29, 2016

      Troll ?? if selling out stadiums , breaking records & selling over 500k in 4 days is flopping then maybe that’s what your fav should consider trying ??

  15. King B April 29, 2016

    Since they are clinging to Adele and Taylor, lemme cling to Katy Perry.
    Why does Katy has 2 diamond singles?
    Why does Katy had 2 videos more than 1 billion views?
    Why does Katy is bigger than the black Madonna is Australia and Canada?
    Why does Katy had more Twitter follower than social media queen?
    Why does Katy had more 5 million singles than digital queen?
    And why Prism outsold unapologetic in US? and Canada and Australia, or WW?

    • T April 30, 2016

      It’s pathetic how they cling to anyone to try to discredit bey. It’s tough being a beyonce hater. They stay losing lol.

    • toeknee April 30, 2016

      The sad part is that adele, Taylor, katy, beiber are all riri peers & they aint even been in the game as long as she’s been.
      King bey not only surpasses her peers Alicia, aguilera, brandy, aliyah (where is she) but also the little girls.

  16. T April 30, 2016

    So much for those tidal ruins everything excuses the navy likes to use. People actually bought bey album. I don’t want to see anymore comparisons because it’s clear who people are willing to spend money on and who they’re not. We’re talking $17.99 not $1.29 lol

    • King B April 30, 2016

      Tidal Exclusive, One month leak, no hit singles and no streaming, free single does not stop her from getting number one. On average, the album sold 86 copies per minute which is more or less 400++ copies in 5 minutes.

      • Who gonna check me boo?? April 30, 2016

        @king B you wrong for that last part???????

      • Nah April 30, 2016

        Lemonade taste so good, all the girls dragging bey on this blog day in and day out. Got the girls on Twitter saying their fav is being blacklisted from Apple cause she ain’t get a banner ???

    Congratulations to Beyonce again! before the hate, people give props! That is a big accomplishment with having 6 #1 albums!

    • Nigeria loves rihanna April 30, 2016

      Yeah but who is gonna remember this 6nos 1album in 20yrs from now? At least people will remember Rihanna 14nos on billboard for ever cos she is sitting with legends. Rihanna about to get her 15nos & still thrashyonce can get a hit since 2008. Even selling jayz cheating story didn’t even help her get a hit.

      • T April 30, 2016

        Gtfoh! Not a single person on this planet can name all 14 generic Rihanna songs without googling it first. Nobody remembers even half those ear hurting songs. You’re just mad no one is willing to spend more than 1.29 on your talentless fave. People buy Queen bey whole body of work even if it’s $20. Stay pressed.

  22. toeknee April 30, 2016

    Best opening week of her carrier > than survivor opening 20 yrs later. Now theses haters still try to talk SH1t abt the queen of continuous growth & longevity.

    Beyblade Thought She Could Just One Up Drake By Releasing Her Rushed And Fake Deep Album Before But Is Behind Him On The US, UK, Canada Charts. SCREEEAAAMING AT THIS FLOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  33. Samsung brought my albums April 30, 2016

  37. Cub Nigeria loves rihanna April 30, 2016

    I know Rihanna is not a great first week album seller but wait, with all the hype & marital drama & all the Becky with the good hair yet Beyonce couldn’t even reach 1million? Without streams lemonade won’t even sell pass her other previous album water melon. At least Rihanna sold 1.4 in less than 24hrs without marital drama, adele did twice that nos without drama too & Drake is about to s*** on lemonade without drama too. Lmao too poor for a so called queen.

    • XXX April 30, 2016

      Lmao those are not genuine sales. Giving your album away for free bevause Samsung purchased 1 million copies is not real sales hency why they are not conuted on the rewl charts. Rihanna barely sold over 100k stop it.

      • Nigeria loves rihanna April 30, 2016

        Lemonade is not a genuine sale cos selling her husband is not genuine.

        Nothing is sinking in Rihanna anti is @2million call me when lemonade reach that hahaha

  40. toeknee April 30, 2016

    Not to mention that she still hasn’t released physical copies, plus hopefully a deluxe version which has features with the legendary Mariah(which may be a number 1 cos Mimi aint letting some immigrant take her crown) & die with you ughh some much more to expect. Queen bey coming through……

  41. Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 30, 2016

    Q: what do you do when life hands you lemons?
    A: you make LEMONADE!

  42. Bee April 30, 2016

    Britney did 512,000k her sixth album with no streaming & no promo besides GMA

    • Beystan_ Since 1997 April 30, 2016

      What year was that again, because she isn’t doing those numbers ever again!

      • Bee April 30, 2016

        What’s the shade for Britney has been a album seller that’s facts

    • King B April 30, 2016

      Talking about no promo? Self titled 617,000 with no announcement and lead singles.

  43. Datredd23 April 30, 2016

    Congrats Bey !!

    But why bring up Rihanna and Anti in every post lol I mean both campaigns have been successful!

    Anti is at almost 2 mill and she got a 25 million dollar check

    Work spent 9 weeks at number one and her other singles are gaining momentum she is doing fine Anti has been a very lucrative and successful era for Rih so far

    Navy and the Beyhive need to stop this war neither of these black successful women are going anywhere!

  44. robin April 30, 2016

    congrats queen bey 20 years in and u still slaying. haters will be haters there is nothing we can do about that

  45. toeknee April 30, 2016

    I am so damn sure that the queen will be selling more than this well into her late forties/fifties. Common this legend has 5,10 15yrs old loving her already & knowing lyrics to her songs. Plus the ever faithful & crazy beyhive never disappoints no matter what her direction to each album will be. Unlike some pop star model with no ounce of talent whose ever hating sunk ship(navy) abandon her when she tries to be timeless & make songs that will be remembered decades from now.
    Now let me hear say work work work work work.
    #blackmadonna, #rayoflightmoment, #scratchedvoicebox, #immigrant, #CARTER’SSLAVE

  46. King B April 30, 2016

    Kii at them calling self titled a pornographic album when someone try so hard to create a controversy by flashing her nip only to get out charted by country song Daddy Lesson. Eggs in the haters face. And the ‘timeless’ is yet to outsell ‘porno album’ first day (PURE) sales, 430,000.

    • Beystan_ Since 1997 April 30, 2016

      Them mad Rihanna stans are clinging to Streams and Samsung for deal life! Talking about she is 2 million sold… Chile Subtract them Streams and Samsung she is barley 700k pure sales (World Wide)

      • Navy Captain April 30, 2016

        You’re annoying as all f*ck. Let’s not act like she wouldn’t have more pure sales if she didn’t give away 1.4 million. Congrats to Bey for her #1. But 617k from Beyoncé to 501k for Lemonade is not a good look. Jay will not be happy.

    • Beystan_ Since 1997 April 30, 2016

      @NAVY CAPTIN
      Unaplogetic sold 238k first
      Anti sold how much in pure sales minus Samsung and Streaming?

      617k and 501k is more than the Navy could ever dream of for Rihanna. STAY MAD

      Lemonade outsold Anti in 4 days!

      • Navy Captain April 30, 2016

        I never said Bey didn’t outsell Rih. That was inevitable. There was 10x more hype for Anti than Unapologetic. It’s the first time Rih took a break from music between those two albums. All I’m saying is her numbers would have been much higher without the giveaway. Probably would have been her best opening week.

  47. Nigeria loves rihanna April 30, 2016

    Jayz gonna be seriously mad right now. Jayz be like “hey bee u sold me for this figure only” lmao. Rihanna is in bothered with 25million paid to her by samsun, #Anti @2 million & still in top 5, sold out tour,work nos1for 9seeks,needed me & this is what u came for coming the crown too.

    • Beystan_ Since 1997 April 30, 2016

      Anti got sold out in pure sales in only 4 days… Just wait until Bey album goes Physical May6th. She will easily go 2 million without the help of Samsung!

      • Nigeria loves rihanna April 30, 2016

        Actually her own Samsung deal is Becky with the good hair. yeah, it’s a deal between she & her husband. Tidal is falling so they need a boost so jayz be like “bey how are we gonna boost tidal & get u a nos1BB?” & bey be like “I will get 72 writers pen songs about u cheating on me & will act like the good wife & the victim & make the videos tidal exclusive only. Hahaha her desperation is real. Rihanna stays classy with her 14nos1,soldout tour & anti 2million+ sold

  48. LB April 30, 2016

    Congratulations Beyonce, impressive numbers. You’re very proficient at good first week sales.

    Anyway I still really hate the album but credit where it is due.

  49. Truth/Janet Lover April 30, 2016

    Damn you Rihanna stans are fuming lol. Anyway, I love the album. 20 yrs in, and she’s still doing numbers like this, that’s insane.

  50. A&R April 30, 2016

    The movie was honesty. Artistic and enlightening. The music is fresh, raw, and progressive. I’m proud of this woman and am always gaining new gems of knowledge. Rihanna has an amazing album as well. My only prayer is that they give us a song together. I think asking for this is like hoping Patty and Aretha do a song together. Either way… Both women are to be respected for their accomplishments and Bey is to be welcomed into the hall of
    Legends. This woman has gone from breaking a few records to actually setting one. In spite of faves… SO RESPECT, Bruh. #MajorKey

  51. Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 30, 2016

    Beyonce only gets better with time.

    • JOHNVIDAL April 30, 2016

  52. Lea April 30, 2016

    Flop ?

  53. DIABETIC STROKE April 30, 2016

    Though i doubt bey releases many singles this era i hope for 6 Inch Freedom Daddy lessons & All night. These will keep the album selling consistant. Even tho sorry & hold up are catchy and radio friendly RIH proved that Hits dont neccasarily equate to sells. Its better to release songs that will attract new fans. Amazingly bey sold this nuch with no single or in the navys mind a bad single. Bey gaining new fans this era. Rih is over!

    http://youtu.be/nMFJVt_Fn5Q

    • Jackson Five Nostrils (Tyler) April 30, 2016

      Formation needs to lead the pack, its gotten us this far. Sorry needs to be the follow up single. Look at how much controversy both songs have caused.

  54. No favs, just here for the music April 30, 2016

    PERFECTION. Very well deserved and congratulations to her! This woman is simply amazing. Actually, amazing isn’t enough to describe this achievement. She’s been in the game for about 2 decades right? Enough said.

  55. DIABETIC STROKE April 30, 2016

    The PURE DELUSION of the DEADvy still claiming ANTI a SUCCESS? Bish where? Canti was/is dead on arrival DOA. if bey was purchased by samscam & only sold 350k the Navy wuld be screaming flop. But Bey sales almost DOUBLE in 4 days. Lmao #THE460STRUGGLE just be happy that Bey didnt drop the hour of or after the HBO premeire to itunes&Tidal. Not to mention bey sold this much with no hit. Rihs era is the exact opposite the purpose of hit is to sell album. Unless work sold 10 million units its useless bop. *BLAST FORNACATION*

  56. YoursTruly April 30, 2016

    Living Legend!
    I see the haters are SHOOK . They’re scared to even enter the post ??

  57. DIABETIC STROKE April 30, 2016

    @Nostrils

    Yes it was just yesterday i released how catch SORRY is. I just thik its too urbaneven if it goes too 10 5 or even #1. As sorry is its trap and formation is trap. Casual listeners will put Lemonade in the Trap/urban category. One hater said bey allready has her pack of Black beyhive member vwe are very loyal. The world needs to hear all the influences from Rock country blues pino balladry. Bey already has her stan-base which is growing and main fanbase in the million. Bey must when them over the videos themselves will serve as great marketing tools. A smart would be tracks 2 through 4 videos rekeased to youtube and let freedom daddy 6 inch and all night murder soles on itunes & radio. I see Lemone selling 3 milk us 5

  58. TheBeysusImpact April 30, 2016

    I’m in tears ???? the slayage ?????? and how much has Anti-OhNahNah sold??? ???????????

  59. Danny Bey April 30, 2016

    Navy. Please just stfu. STFU. STFU. STFU. Your drags and attempted shade aren’t being heard or acknowledged. Just face it. Giselle outsold your fav in 4 days, while FLOPti has been out for almost 4 months and has still been outsold. Just stop. Nothing you say will ever be taken seriously from here on out. You talked all that s*** and got your ass handed to you. And all the while, Anti-Success Tour still has empty seats. I usually don’t like to gloat and downplay any artists in favor of mine, but y’all deserve TF outta this s***. You are all officially Donkey if the Day. Nah, Donkey of the Year. Like, I’m laughing so hard right now. What a time to be a Bey. ?

    • JOHNVIDAL April 30, 2016

      Australia is really rare. For an English speaking country these American artists don´t have as many #1 albums there as one might think.

      • King B April 30, 2016

        Yeah. But I expect the Black Madonna/Global Star Rihanna to have a number one album.Same goes to Queen Of Urban Pop (Aaliyah). Now Bey had 2,she can’t be called LOCAL anymore.

  63. JOHNVIDAL April 30, 2016

    Destroying Rihanna once again and the rest of models with a mic who are in mainstream (I´m pointing out the mainstream thing cause there are amazing talents not so mainstream, better than Beyonce, that obviously don´t get a chance at slaying charts).
    Rihanna has only been able to sell a million copies throughout her career after many months of constant radio support and several “hit” singles from each album. This go round her numbers have been evn lower than usual and that #1 song of hers, apart from terrible, has only been there for long thanks to streaming.
    Beyonce: I´m not a fan, there are many people out there who I prefer and think are better. But she has become one of the few album artists of this sad era in music.

  65. King Mark111 /.\ April 30, 2016

    Lighten didn’t strike twice, clearly. The gimmick is up, this will free fall down the charts each week and out the top 5 on week 4. The pest are raving over 500k? With all that hype and promotion? Anti was platinum in two days. Call me when Beyonce does that. And call me when she tops both charts, cause she hasn’t these two past eras. You can bring Rihanna all ya want, but she’s flopped compared to her label mate Adele.

    • King B April 30, 2016

      So far… all your predictions are wrong. #tryagain

  66. King Mark111 /.\ April 30, 2016

    Tour is boring and the same old b*** shaking show. Album them is boring Jay cheated on me the album, Era is the same old video album that she does every Era. Just meh, at least anti came in and changed the game, fresh theme, great music, tour seems like fun.

    • Lolz April 30, 2016

      Lol @ Anti changed the game. How? By showing us how you can flop so hard and still go to #1? You’re so delusional.

  67. King B April 30, 2016

    Dear Navy, keep of predicting Beyonce’s downfall.

  68. King B April 30, 2016

    Rih longest charting albums 99 weeks, Beyonce, 119 weeks and still charting. Navy can’t talk about albums free falling.

  69. Jamie April 30, 2016

    Anything to make this insecure, spoiled ass baby feel good. Those numbers are so fabricated to make it seem she finally topped DC3’s first week sales. Survivor sold 663,0000 copies back in 01, and she was never able to top that. I mean, what are the chances?lol I’m over this mess, and she had to show y’all the whole album to get y’all to but it. It’s still gimmicky hype.smh

  70. Keri Qween April 30, 2016

    That’s it? Less than the porno album and bday kii

    • Lolz April 30, 2016

      And more than Anti in 4 days.

  71. Cinnamon Girl April 30, 2016

    I can’t believe the fleahives are gloating over these terrible numbers! Hurricane Drake already knocked her album out the top spot in the U.S., U.K. and Canada. He still has the number 1 song in the U.S. When I see his first week numbers compared to Beyawnce’s I am going to SCREAM!!!

    • Adelephant (previously HYDROQINONE) April 30, 2016

      u obviously not a rational person, an album selling close to 700,000 not a full week just 3 days is not impressive? and what u talking about he has the current number one song he doesn’t Panda is number one however formation has been number one on iTunes all week and panda has spent most of its time out of the top 10 on iTunes, formation is looking at a top 5 possibly number one debut if only the video was on Vevo so we add streams… so u can seethe

      • Cinnamon Girl April 30, 2016

        Beyonce’s album dropped on Saturday. It has been available for a week. It was only available on Tidal for a while but her album has been out for more than 4 days. Drake knocked her out of the number 1 spot within an hour on iTunes. When we see his first week 1-2 million sales I am going to SCREAM!!!

      • Lolz April 30, 2016

        Clinging to Drake will not change the fact Beyonce did her thing and your fave could and will never.

  72. Ladylike April 30, 2016

    Why are you uneducated fools in here arguing over two women who do not know you exist and could care less that you do exist? Please get your own life and your own dreams and stop living through these two women and please believe they are both equally successful if you look at it clearly they have way more than all of us were arguing over them. Stop always trying to discredit one get a life. Congratulations to Rihanna and to Beyonce.

  73. Bee April 30, 2016

    The only reason why Beyoncé broke the record with the 6 #1 albums is because they cheated Britney & change the rule during her first week when blackout came out if they wouldn’t have change the rule she would be the only female with 7 number one albums in a row

  74. toeknee April 30, 2016

    Lol finally the losers gradually show shamefully still giving senseless excuses. Navy just give up, ya girl has been defeated by every artists this year & will go down in history as the artist with the worst ever debut.

  75. Lolz April 30, 2016

    Haha egg in all their faces! Id be made too. They say it’s going to flop each time and unlike the Hive, they’re always wrong. These are brilliant number there’should nothing else too. Until your fave can even come close, stop talking. Congrats on this record breaking brilliant album. I’m so proud of her she works so hard.

  76. Lea April 30, 2016

    Who names an album after a drink? Like seriously, “Lemonade”?! Guh i tell ya…Anyways she tried it with this tired (Khia Voice) lame attempt of an album. Khia dragged her, Serena and everyone else who participated in this trash.

    • T April 30, 2016

      Lmao this is a new level of pathetic. Now y’all clinging to Khia of all ppl? So it’s drake, Adele, Taylor, and Khia(wtf)???? Lmao this is too hilarious. Fact remains bey made history with 6 #1 albums. Get over it.

  77. BEY>RIH April 30, 2016

    Lmao now the Navy is clinging to khia?!?! I love when yall predict Beyonce’s downfalll…. because she comes out on top every time.?

    Lemonade has outSOLD anti in 4 days. Anti is now selling less than 20k a week; Views will be charting soon; Fifth harmony and ariana grande are releasing soon; we will see which album freefalls. ?

  78. brazio April 30, 2016

    I like how stan Sam slipped in his excuse to why his Queen Bey didn’t sell even more lol. #Beyindenial ???

  79. zeroing ivy bloper tran anti girl lemond time May 1, 2016

    Beyonce song is on tidal

  80. Mezie May 2, 2016

    Lemonade sales is 653,000 ( equivalent sales ) and out of that, Pure sales is 485,000… Check billboard 200 before posting lies… Beyonce didn’t sell 501,000 copies….

  81. Erica May 5, 2016

    I think 485K in pure sales is great for 3.5 days when others albums have been out for over 3 months and isn’t even close to selling those numbers.

  82. James pumhu May 9, 2016

    It is crystal clear that Bey is the Best of the best#Lemonade unlike Rihahana who struggles when it comes 2 Album selling and dancing she can never outsmart Yonce’ when it comes 2 stage presence!!!!
