The Queen reigns!
Beyonce blazed back onto the scene with her seismic seventh studio album ‘Renaissance’ and has royally rocketed straight to the top of the Billboard 200.
Full story below…
The set, which was led by the smash hit single ‘Break My Soul,’ premiered atop of the coveted count with equivalent sales of:
332,000
Of that sum, 190,000 was accrued by way of traditional units. Thanks in large part to the various formats that critically-acclaimed LP was made available in – including CDs, limited edition vinyl, and merchandise boxes.
Streaming (SEA) accounted for 138,000 units – from 179.06 million on-demand official streams of the LP’s songs.
‘Renaissance’ becomes Beyonce’s seventh consecutive #1 album on the Billboard 200.
It’s the first album released by a woman in 2022 to top the chart and serves as one of the largest launches of any project of the year so far.
************
Huge congrats! ‘Renaissance’ is an immaculate album that has quickly become a firm favorite here at That Grape Juice.

And that’s after only 4 days of tracking. We love to see it.
No video. No gimmicks. No payola. No asking rapper men for a hit. No ticket bundles.
Pure talent.
To think, those nasty Camônkey fans said that racist rat is the new Beyonce 😂😂😂😂
6k-8k pure sales 😂😂😂😂. Bey. 200,000 pure sales. 4 decades in the game.
That racist rat wants a collab and it will never come.
But 50 remixes and promo out the ass on social media and she only sold 138,000 streams and for her to break all these records not impressed and the pure were mostly the many vynals and pre orders so she really didn’t do that much
Cardi Hot Doo Doo is #55 on Billboard. Soon to be bubbling under 🤧 A whole music video and two TOP male rappers and STILL FLOPPED 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I dont even understand why people are bashing cardi b however beyonce didn’t release 50 remixes, she didn’t even release 20, also the 20 remixes definitely had barely any impact on her sales, don’t act like if beyonce didn’t release remixes the song won’t go number 1, billboard has been saying it since 😂
@Maya Dc is a Cardi fan and a Beyoncé HATER. So the audacity for him to try to compare the two is why we drag Cardi lmfaooo. He’s pressed that HOT DOO DOO 💩 FLOPPED. He said BMS would FREE FALL and ate his words 😂💀 now Karma is getting back at Fardi Gang. His own fault 🤷🏾♂️
Pre-orders were 50k and Vinyls were 25k. That means over 100,000 people bought the physical album, in an era where doing that many numbers is almost unheard of considering Mass-buying has been banned by Billboard and people in general do not buy music in the first place.
This is after a full week of counting, not 4 days. Congrats to her btw. I’m hoping that we get music from other 90’s artists this year with this kind of success.
As only a QUEEN should! This is pure SLAYAGE releasing an album of this genre in this music climate. I’m excited for the visuals as well as Act II and III.
YES!!! Gonna be sooo good 🥹🔥🔥🔥
At least cardi other songs hit number 1 without 50 remixes and bubbling under is for songs that debut low cardi has a top 15 so do you expect all cardi singles to hit number 1 ????????
No one cares 😂🤣🤣🤣
U wanna talk about Free Fall. Well chile Cardi jumped from the TOP FLOOR 🤣🤣🤣🤣 call it a s****** lmfaooo. Dead on arrival 💀 meanwhile BREAK MY SOUL NEVER FELL 😂 dumbasses y’all love pies 🥧🤡

Do you hear yourself 💀 what a dumbass lol. Anyway eat s**** btch. Renaissance is #1 and that’s on HOT DOO DOO pooh 💩😂😂😂😂
It sold almost 200k pure sales without doing what taylor swift does which is tour bundles, merch bundles PLUS multiple vinyls and remixes (remixes and vinyls are fine because everyone from adele and Harry styles does it), she even does resturant bundles and forces people to buy her album, that is the difference between Queen bee and the rest
She is always naked she will never have industry respect like Whitney and Celine Dion
Have you been living under a rock? She has more respect than the crack head who is now maggot food for overdosing because her life sucked which is why her daughter is also plant fertilizer. And then some Canadian stick figure with no clout and a flop vegas residency. Try to hate on beyonce all you want but she is the first female artist to have seven consecutive #1 albums. Where is your dead fave at now? Oh yeah dead!
I don’t hate Beyonce. She still naked . Beyonce a soft p*** star Whitney wasn’t. Neither is Celine

Whitney legacy lives on….she has projects coming. Whitney or Celine wasn’t riding a horse naked either.
This was a very messed up thing to say, although I agree that beyonce has earned her respect in the music industry and I am a huge stan, please do not go this far
You are an adult, act like it, an adult is allowed to wear what they want to an adult audience without being judged simply because she is a woman, we are in 2022, the album cover would have legit been anything and still do well 😂😂, stop trying to make this be the only reason she went number 1 when that album is a solid 9/10 and this is only act 1
She is still half naked. And a THIEF nobody respects that.
Diana Ross never naked
Mary Blige never was naked
Whitney never was naked….
Adele never naked
Celine Dion never naked
Beyonce naked Infront the world.
Beyonce a married to former drug dealer but you talk about Whitney..
No DISRESPECT TO JAYZ.

Also, she just set another streaming record. 179 million streams in a week? The haters better be glad, she wasn’t focusing on being commercial after IAm…Sasha Fierce. The other girls wouldn’t have stood a chance. They are really having melt downs on Twitter. Lmao!! Tomorrow they will be mad again, when BMS goes #1 on the hot 100. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Beyonce has 250 million Instagram followers
she naked and 334,000 is all she sold… Hahaha hahaha
Gurl yo momma do it for free 💀 so now wut?
You are acting like 334 thousand is the norm 😂😂, Drake has at least 50 million followers and sings about sleeping with people and posts alot of shirtless photos yet his 2021 album sold only 50k pure sales 😂, so why is it that a grown woman can’t be respected for being comfortable in her own skin? She didn’t force you to look
He just mad that he’s broke, half her age, but yet look like a foot and built like a sack of dirty laundry 💀
S.ex sells and she a thief, .she is always more n*** than other artists
So the fck what 😂 we like naked Bey. She’s ALWAYS been this way and body positive. Jealous?
Mary Blige never was naked
Whitney never was naked….
Beyonce a married to former drug dealer but you talk about Whitney Houston..
Drake don’t have his ass out like Beyonce. Doing the butterfly.
Not the gworls having melt downs 🫠 on Twitter 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought the predictions said 500-600k? 330k is a far cry from those numbers. I expected more but congrats to Beyonce. She’s been consistently successful as a solo artist for 20 years now. That’s impressive.
Not a whole leaked album 💀 with No promo. No interviews. No visuals. No performances. No bundles. Still out charting your fav 😮💨🤣🤣🤣🤣 and going Number #1 on Billboard and Break my Soul #1 at the same time. Lmfaooo. What queen you know can do this in this climate? I’ll wait…here have this pie in your face 🤡
Respectfully speaking… As much trash talking that emanates from Camp Beehive, I refused to believe that you guys only served up the Queen only 190,000 copies in pure sales, with a combine total of 332k. That is not Queen-like figures. For her to be ‘Number One, The Only One”…a few other artist bested her first week sales.
Gworl shut the hell up. Renaissance #1 on Billboard. Suck it 😂
We agree that she is number 1, however,….as big as her fanbase is reported to be, estimated to be….there were only 190,000 that actually bought the album. The numbers are not adding up…
Of course haters gonna try to spin her earnings 😂🤣🤣🤣 mind you RENAISSANCE was LEAKED and she still did over 300k and went number #1 on Billboard. There’s no further discussion needed babe. Close your mouf 🤐
Not trying to spin anything. Despite Beyonce having an enormous fanbase,..only 190,000 cared to buy the album the first week. Why is that?
Umm because there’s this thing called streaming 💀 cmon you can’t be that dumb are you? Mind you she’s #1 on Apple Music and Spotify right now. Get real 😂 stop while you’re ahead babe. Ur losing this one ☝🏾
You and the Beehive cares. That’s why you came here to brag on her numbers.
So I need the Beehive to support their faves beyond streaming or else she will never be Queen/King over Drake, Taylor, Adele ect.
I am aware of what streaming is. One thousand five hundred streams equal one album sale [1,500 streams = one sale]. Therefore any fan would have to stream it that many time to count in final sales total..where as a simple album purchase would quickly do the same.
I buy all my faves’s album to show my undying support. Doesn’t the Beehive do the same? You guys are never going to compete with Taylor and Adele’s fanbase if you want to simply stream the music instead of buying it.
LOL 😂 who fckn cares 🤣🤣🤣
I see Drake as the blueprint of modern day Album success for all urban acts of today.
I think these 200K pure sales are very impressive considering the album is literally FREE but on the STREAMING Front 179M this is just AVG.
Drakes Lover Boy released last year got super low pure sales but MASSIVE Streams!!
BMS is a really big hit. B7 Streams should be way higher. I get that there’s no problem video but beys name is bigger than Drake.
Or is it ??? 🤨
CLB did 600K+ last year. I expected the same (or more) from Renaissance especially after such a long hiatus.
You are an adult, act like it, an adult is allowed to wear what they want to an adult audience without being judged simply because she is a woman, we are in 2022, the album cover would have legit been anything and still do well 😂😂, stop trying to make this be the only reason she went number 1 when that album is a solid 9/10 and this is only act 1
CLB had music videos, renaissance didn’t use music videos to boost the popularity
Beys “Hiatus” actually doesn’t mean anything because she did A LOT since Lemonade. But maybe if that wasn’t the case these sales would be higher. There was no Hiatus, that would be Adele/Rihanna. Bey hasn’t had a Real hiatus her entire career.
It’s still Beyonce though! She isn’t some underground artist who quietly releases. Her name alone holds weight – that’s why I was so surprised by her sales.
They had massive streams because of payola, Drake is a superstar but he isn’t anywhere near as famous as beyonce, top 10 biggest musicians realistically are :
1. Justin bieber
2. Beyonce
3. Ed sheeran
4. Adele
5. Eminem
6. Drake
7. The weekend
8. Harry styles
9. Ariana grande
10. Bruno mars
Drake is HUGE. His debut solo album dropped almost 15 years ago and he has yet to slow down. Even his mixtapes and collaboration efforts debut at #1. Payola can’t always be the go to excuse. He’s still in demand all these years later.
The gworls are gonna be utterly sick 🤒 to their stomachs once they realize that we’re ONLY in ACT 1 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and she’s just getting started!!! I feel sorry for Bey haters. They’ve got a rough year ahead 💀😂😂😂
Hopefully ACT 2 will be a return to her former because there were a lot of mixed reviews on the latest project, of which resulted in the lukewarm reception of Break My Soul and even this 332k debut. Only 190k of her fans bought the album.
When Beyonce is doing her Beyonce thing, she has the ability to take over. However, this album has yet to do that. IMHO, this album alienates the R&B market, which soften her final count. Just my 2 cents.
Where are you getting your facts? 😮💨 RENAISSANCE is her most critically acclaimed album by music critics. She has the highest score for this album on Metric 90 out of 100, Pitchfork 9.0 out of 10, and RollingStone 9 out of 10. What are you talking about 😂 y’all be saying anything like y’all music executives lmfaooo. And you’re wrong. The album was leaked and the other half of her fans streamed the album. These numbers are impressive in this climate. Nobody is meeting these numbers. Not even a lot of the legends we know now. Good night 😴
She hasn’t done full-on r&b since 2006, shes good.
To clarify, I am referring to Consumers as oppose to Critics when I say mixed reviews,. We would have to agree that House Music isn’t a customary sound associated with Beyonce nor the black community. I heard a lot of feedback saying the song would have to grow on them.
True the album was leaked, however, you guys make her to be the omnipotent artist [Number One, The Only], therefore I expect her to perform like that. So if the Beehive would rather stream her album then buy it, and not give her 1st week sales like Taylor and Adele…then I am going to call you out on that. Contrary to her song title, she is Not that Girl…Taylor is that girl. Adele is that Girl.
Gworl shut up 🤫
Bey is THAT girl because of her talent, brutal work ethic and cultural relevancy. Every album release, lead single or video is a statement and is seen and heard globally. She has made 2 legendary, pivotal Super Bowl performances. She was in the biggest r&b/pop girl group in music. She has had 3 back to back universally acclaimed solo projects, the last pop artist(s) to release a streak of classic and beloved pop albums consecutively are Prince and Michael Jackson. Your faves Taylor and Adele release albums on Friday because Beyonce did it first.
You are deflecting. Drake’s, Adele’s and Taylor’s fans are more supportive. They actually buy their fave’s album at higher rate than the Beehive.
Ur an idiot babe. You really think we care about QUEEN B amounting to two ugly white women? LOL we don’t do comparisons over here babe. We’re content and confident in our fav. Adele KNOWS she’s NOT on Beyoncé’s level. 30 album came FLOPPED and WENT 😂 Ur just mad and bitter and trying to make irrelevant points 😂🤣🤣🤣 that makes ZERO sense. Her haters love to go the extra mile. And for wut? To get another pie to the face 🥧🤡 clowns asses lmfaooo
The haters are grasping at straws. King Bey does it again! Y’all said she couldn’t sell an album without visuals well here ya go! No videos! No promo! No performances! Nothing but radio silence and her seventh consecutive #1 album, 25 years into her career!! HA HA!
They’re gonna find any and every excuse to try to shuffle this into a “loss” for Bey 😂 the Queen literally has a #1 album on Billboard 200 and a #1 single on Billboard Hot 100. All at the same time. WHO DOES THAT? Not ur fav!!! Get the fck out of here 🤣🤣🤣 Haters are SEETHING 🐝🐝🐝🐝
Hasn’t Bey dropped a No Video, No Promo, No Performances album before and sold? I’m not sure who said that about Beyonce, however, she has done that.
In terms pure sales, I am surprised only 190,000 of her millions of hardcore fans choose to buy the album instead of stream it. In terms of album sales, Adele, Drake and Taylor put up stronger numbers.
LOL ur so dumb. I’m sure you’re included in that 190,000 as one of the ppl who follow her on IG. And u clearly are a poor and seething HATER. So the point ur trying to make is simply STUPID. It just does not make any sense. Stop it 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nicki could never lol
NOR COULD LIL KIM JUNG UN … TF LMAO
She did all that with NO visual. Yes Queen!
Wasn’t the album released globally or is that total just U.S.Sales? I keep reading she has 250 million followers but that’s worldwide so even if globally speaking maybe more people bought the album or will outside the U.S. which wouldn’t go.to her 1st week sales here right? Im not sure also what I keep reading is No Promo No Video No Bundles but didn’t she just sell A Box Set Bundle for this album..I dont get why her die hard fans be saying whatever and it be not true I like Beyonce but I feel like the BeeHive makes me not at times yall think shes God or something and Trust shes the not 1st to do what shes doing …there’s no competition right now…
GOD NOT A THIEF MARRIED TO A FORMER DRUG DEALER , naked Infront of the world.
y’all mutha fuckas talking about Whitney Bobbi k. bobby brown on drugs..

So keep the disrespect for Whitney n bobby off this blog….if Beyonce A naked singer married a former drug dealer
Congrats to Beyonce for the number one. Moving on…
She just can’t do it with clothes on.

So in your dumb small little mind, you actually think the album only went #1 because she’s sitting on a horse with parts of her body exposed?
Ur dumber than I actually thought 🤧
Here…have some pie 🥧🤡

That was a mistake asshole..
..she still a THIEF.. and always naked. Just to sell music she can’t sell with clothes on
Her naked ass need to put a parental advisory on her …since she always naked just to sell . ..
Beyoncé in her height never outsold Alicia Keys or Mary’s highest first week sales. The hype is just crazy.
I wish y’all would stop pretending as if both Lemonade and self Titled would have surprised both of their first week sales had it been released on the start of tracking vs the Friday and Sunday they were. Self titled alone sold over 800,000 copies in the us alone during its first 7 days on the market.
***“Wouldn’t have surpassed”
Wow Taylor’s RED TV outsold this hahahaha
