Making Billboard history is certainly no new feat to burgeoning pop icon Beyonce. The Grammy-winning singer, who currently reigns as the only artist in history to see her first 6 albums debut at #1 on the Billboard 200, has certainly seen her name listed beside many-a-history making measure.
Now, as little sister Solange celebrates her first chart-topping entry – ‘Seat at the Table’ (read more on that here) – the superstar siblings are now jointly seeing their monikers beside a unique achievement.
Keen to know what it is? We thought so:
Billboard reports Solange and Beyonce are the first sisters in music history to both score a #1 album in the same calendar year (with their ‘Table’ and ‘Lemonade’ albums respectively).
Previous reports incorrectly asserted the Knowles duo are the first siblings to ever accomplish this feat, but this was actually first accomplished in 2001 when pop icons Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson topped the charts with their ‘Invincible’ and ‘All For You’ albums respectively.

Gaga will flop hard with #Joanne.
Girl, Joanne is prepping her seat at the table with Jackie.
Don’t bother if you haven’t reached a diamond status album…
SCREAMING! Joseph will flop harder than Shartpop
Remind us again.
How many #1 hit single does beyonce have again?
??????
Remind us again,
how many #1 hit albums does fRIH have again out of her EIGHT albums?
??????
I’ll remind you again #9 ‘memorable hits. That continue to receive airplay and club play. Beyonce’s music is a cornerstone for parties, bbqs, clubs and other social events. You constantly hear Beyoncé wherever you go… Rihanna on the other hand…. her hits doesn’t go past the radio. Beyoncé music is an essential part of culture. Yes, even her songs that never occupied the top 20. When will Rihanna have that impact? You can’t play Umbrella, Rude Boy, We Found Love etc because it has a shelf life… but I guarantee you will always hear Single Ladies, Crazy In Love, Love On Top, Get Me Bodied, Irreppacable, Ego in almost every setting… because that is what you call impact. ‘of the aforementioned songs only two of them hit #1 yet they’re continuously played because guess what… it stands the test of time. Again who needs #1s when you have impact?
Gaga does country….wtf. Yes, it will flop harder than ARTFLOP!
Mariah could never in this era…
Mariah has done so in more eras than your fave.
LMAO STAY PRESSED BUG, JOANNE WILL STILL SELL MORE THAN A SQUAT ON THE TOILET’S FLOP NUMBERS LMAO
She needs to push back Johnny asap
Solo beat Kelly Flopland
Solo be_at Kelandria at getting a number 1 album wow
That’s awesome! They’re able to share success in their own space!
Lol what an achievement …. so stupid
Honestly i don’t find anything stupid about this. It’s actually quite cool. The only other siblings to do this was MJ and Janet. To have your talent acknowledge and make it to #1 in the biggest music market in the world is an achievement enough! This is nice and cool. Can you imagine the excitement and feeling of haing both your children top the BB200. Or having your sibling share some major success in the same field of work. Congrats are in order for both these woman. They went from playing in playgrounds together to topping the BB200. That is a tear jerker bro lol!
Yeah it’s cool and all but actually it’s kind of a fun or nice fact but not an actual achievement… just because they are sisters…
They have good albums out, both topped the chart…but just because they are sisters it’s an achievement and we have to celebrate this it’s kind of stupid imo
@Anne yea i figured that already. Always bringing down Bey but uplifting Whóréanna lol! The Slavi is a mess trying to go undercover ?
“Just because they’re sisters it’s an achievement…” Um, duh. What are the odds that any individual artist will get a number 1 album? (Side note: Rihanna has been successful 25% of the time. 12.5% if we wanna talk about albums debuting at number 1, but I’m schleep). Now, what are the odds that two siblings will both achieve the same thing? If it was so likely, it’d happen more often. Hate somewhere else where you can be more easily ignored. Thank you.
@FASHION_ICON ~ Anti&Lemonade, stfu! Now please take Lemonade out of your name, because it’s clear you’re a undercover hating @ss cu#t.
I was literally about to say the same thing. It’s clearly JUST a nazi attempting to not get dragged by having Lemonade in it’s name. Scalp it hunny!
You need to get a life for real… i put whatever i like in my name.. and i am a fan of beyoncé i don’t have to prove your ass anything.
I can also say what the f*** i want …its not because i am a fan i have to kiss Beyoncé and Rihanna asses. Giving my opinion and like them it’s two different things for me if you can’t do this i can’t relate.
Now ignore me
Bye
You’re ignored. Bye bi#ch!
Here’s my ASS to kiss cuz I literally give ZERO f**** about you. I normally skip past your dry ashy comments but I thought i’d acknowledge your existence for once. Be grateful and be mindful HŒ!
Girl Anna you Ass stink i don’t need this horror in my life.
Acknowledge me ? Who are you ?
If it’s not because of TGj where the heck you can find me to talk s*** like this.
Gosh some people on TGJ feel they are some kind of diva..
What a pity…Bye
Have A seat at the table and toast with a refreshing glass of Lemonade HEIFERS ??.
VERY pleased for Solange and great job by the sisters in 2016 x
In other news…
PERFECT ILLUSION was done so dirty in the USA. It could have been a blatant hit considering it was a hit WW. Oh well… she still has more impact than these other lames this decade… including the head THIEF in charge.
DADDY GAYGAY IS DONE! QUEEN MADONNA ENDED HER CAREER WITH BORN THIS WAY.
Talking about theifs when Gagz stays stealing from Madonna! She even borrows from Marilyn Manson ?
The Number One album – the title that everyone can buy….
Yeah right. 🙁
The one is a complete flop, the other one is not even in top 5 albums sellerS among her peers (Britney, Christina, Avril, Alicia, P!nk, Shakira have outsold her). Two flops!!!
SheGoat isn’t even Beyoncé peer. That bish debuted in 1990 lmao!
BEYONKA IS STILL A FLOP COMPARED TO HER PEERS. STRUGGLING TO OUTSELL ANY OF THEM, YET SHADING OTHER ARTISTS FOR QUICK LITTLE HITS (AND YEAH, EVEN R**** HAS SOLD MORE ALBUMS THAN BEYONKA THIS DECADE WITH LOUD AND TALK THAT TALK ALONE COMPARED TO 4 (WHICH WAS RE-RELEASED) + HAD A REMIX ALBUM, BEYONKA (WHICH HAD AN EXTRA EP WITH NEW SONGS), LEMONADE).
Beyonka? Look Bye Stephy you ain’t fooling no one
LMFBO!!! @shegoat , I CAN”T!!!
@Madracula Avril sold 35 million albums and 50 million singles.
.
Beyoncé sold 37.5 million album’s and 120 million singles.
LOL AT 37.5. STOP TRYING TO MAKE 12 MILLION FOR DIL HAPPEN (IT’S BARELY AT 10 MILLION), 8 MILLION FOR B DAY IS A LOL TOO SINCE THE ALBUM WAS LOCAL. BEYONKA IS STILL UNDER 35 MILLION, SO AVRIL BEATS HER BEYONKA IS A SINGLES ARTIST.
@Madracula Lmao why would I need to lie?
DIL was at 11m for years until sales were finally updated this year and she finally got a 5x platinum certification even tho she qualified for it years ago.
.
B’Day sales have been updated to 8m WW as of June 2015
.
IASF sales have been updated to 8m WW as of June 2015
.
4 sold 3.4m WW
.
ST sold 4.1m WW
.
And Lemonade is at 2.5m WW
.
Also four wasn’t even re-released. Talk about lying!
.
Oh and Alicia Keys only sold 32m albums WW!
That can’t be Stephy. I’ve read his post on billboards site every now and then. He’s not a Bey hater on or outside of tgj….at least not from what I’ve seen lol
THAT 11 MILLION RECEIPT WAS INFLATED. DIL HAS SOLD BARELY 10 MILLION DESPITE ALL #1 HIT SINGLES. AND BDAY IS NOWHERE NEAR 8 MILLION. STOP WITH THAT WIKIPEDIA INFLATED RECEIPTS. 6.5 MILLION MAXIMUM FOR IT. HER RECEIPTS THREAD ON UKMIX/ATRL AGREES
IASF WAS RE-RELEASED MULTIPLE TIMES
B DAY WAS RE-RELEASED TOO
4 WAS RE-RELEASED WITH A REPACKED VERSION (YES, CHECK IT OUT) AND IT HAD A REMIX ALBUM
BEYONCE WAS RE-RELEASED WITH AN EP
PLUS SHE RELEASES 6-7 SINGLES PER ALBUM YET STILL CANNOT MATCH HER PEERS. STOP ACTING THAT SHE IS AN ALBUMS ARTIST AND A HUGE SELLER WHEN SHE IS NOT IN TOP 5 ALBUMS SELLERS AMONG HER PEERS. TAYLOR, RIHANNA, ADELE, LADY GAGA, KATY PERRY HAVE OUTSOLD IN ALBUMS SALES THIS DECADE TOO. SHE’S ALWAYS BEEN OVERSHADOWED BY OTHERS.
@HailBeysus.
.
Is it just me or has this blog been stagnant for the past several weeks? These posts as of late are barely managing 100+ comments a piece (even when they are blatantly catered to the ‘Navy & Hive’ in order to start a delicious stan war) and the usual suspects are nowhere to be seen. Has the readership levels probably plummeted some? I’ve seen many “shady” comments about TGJ on BOŚŚIP too and some of its “writers”. Hmmm. Oh well, this site is dry as hell if we’re being honest anyway…
Yea,Bey and Rih post were blowing up at the first half of this year. Now the only post that gets remotely close to those others is Gaga with a few 100+ comments post.
TGJ has been dryer than a Popeyes biscuit as of lately. I tried, but I can’t
@Tyler/Beysus.
.
Exactly! This site is dry as hell lately! I don’t know what’s happened. If I’m being honest, either my fave or Beyoncé are really doing anything interesting right now anyway. Rihanna is too busy either walking the streets of NYC & L.A looking hot or dealing with her fashion pursuits and now vacationing in Barbados and Beyoncé has just finished her world tour and we all knows she’s far too “anti” (pun intended) these days to do anything outside of just releasing her music.
.
I guess we’ll just have to wait for the AMA’s/GRAMMY’s. LOL!
When will Mariah?
MOO MOO HAS OUTSOLD BOTH OF THESE TWO FLOPS COMBINED.
im excited to see joanne sales considering super bowl headlines. maybe less than flopmanade
Bytch the album wont even sell a fourth of Lemonade’s sales.
Lady GaGa is about to have a meltdown. I wonder if her gay ass fans will over handjobs along with blowjobs this time.
*offer
@JOANNE.
.
‘Perfect Illusion’ has not “performed well” by any means at all. For an artist of Lady Gaga’s level of popularity and stature, it has completely underperformed and is, quite frankly, one of the most underwhelming lead/comeback singles by a ‘major Pop girl’ this decade thus far.
.
It has only reached #1 in three countries across the globe thus far – France, Spain and Brazil. In France it debuted at #1 and fell to #94 the following week; in Spain it debuted at #1 and fell to 35 the following week; it debuted at #1 in Brazil and fell to #14 the following week. Across the anglosphere – the U.S.A; U.K; Canada; Australia; New Zealand; other english-speaking territories – it has been an absolute disappointment in both digital sales and streaming as well as mainstream radio.
.
Perhaps she wasn’t trying to capture a “smash-hit” with this record (albeit I find the difficult to fathom and believe) however the song is simply a disaster. It is a bonfide flop!
IT WON’T EVEN MATCH RISE. PERFECT DELLUSION IS A HUGE FLOP. JOHN WILL FOLLOW.
Slay Black Queens ????
Lol at most of the comments being about Gaga when the post is about Solange
Congratz Lil Sis!!!!! xx
Solange is more talented, natural & real,& got a better voice than her robotic sister beyawnce. At least solange write & produces her album,she doesn’t buy writers like beyawnce.
Girl Beyoncé voice is ten times better than Solange ….
SOLANGE >
Mama Tina must be so proud. Love the pro black message that both albums are promoting #BlackLivesMatter

Knowles is the new Jackson
Lmao in what world?
Congratulations. Both album are indeed great.. my only problem with this post is the picture… damn couldn’t y’all get something just a little better ?
Yaaaassss. This makes me wanna get right with my sister. I’m not going to of course, but this makes me want to.
Hahaha @ the Beyonce Solange photo. You are all good for chosing a photo on which Solange looks better than Bey! GOOD JOB! <3
Sister Slayage ??
solo face looks so much more youthful and pretty than beyonce here
Yeah. Put the emphasis on sisters. Cause the behive tried to say siblings and the Janet fans quickly shut that s*** down. Lol. Lol. We live in a world where artist fish and look for accomplishments without doing his or her homework first.
So true!
I can’t with these Gaga obsessed Rihanna and Beyonce stans.
LMAO BIG DEAL, A SQUAT ON THE TOILET WILL FREEFALL HARD NEXT WEEK WITH THOSE FLOP NUMBERS JUST LIKE KOOLAID’S SINGLES LMAO
Atleast Solange is a real artist not a puppet like her Aunt Boreyonce.
Aww, someone’s obviously mad that their fave is now a PANNED fad who had the biggest decline in pop music of all time, from biggest artist in the world to selling Demi Lovato numbers first week in singles and clinging to tributes to stay somewhat relevant. I wonder if Joanna Mann will sell more first week than Confident at this point.
LMAO TWO FLOPS SELLING HYPE TO MAKE THEIR FLOPS LOOK LIKE ACHIEVEMENTS, I CAN’T! LMAO.
Dont you stan for gagz? Will she even sell 460 first week? ?
And to think Solange’s last release didn’t make the top 100. This is amazing for her!
Both albums are so beautiful. Congrats to both.
Solange Ferguson have two sisters beyonce,koi knowles and one stepsister Bianca Lawson’s
I knew solange would be used to prop up bey
Flops
You have made not one sane comment on this site since you got here.
Google who is worth almost a half of a billion dollars as a black woman ??✊?✊?✊?✊?. Bey works hard ??????
