Billboard 200: Beyonce’s ‘Renaissance’ Makes History Thanks to Record-Breaking Vinyl Sales

Published: Saturday 22nd Oct 2022 by Rashad

‘Cuff It’ singer Beyonce is linked to yet another historic feat on Billboard charts thanks to the tune’s parent album, ‘Renaissance.’

Since its July release, the project’s pushed her penciling in history books for being the only female act to see her first seven studio albums debut at #1 on the Billboard 200, the female act to reign atop the highest number of charts simultaneously, and more.

Now, thanks to the long-awaited wide vinyl issue of the critically acclaimed set, Billboard has toasted yet another record-setting achievement for the era.

Details inside.

As reported here, Beyonce’s ‘Renaissance’ rebounded to #3 on the Billboard 200 – making it the best-selling female album of the week thanks to an additional 75,000 copies sold overall in the U.S.

Of that handsome figure, vinyl sales comprised a whopping 45,500  – marking “the largest week for an R&B album on vinyl since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991.”  The reignited commercial response came the very week Bey made the LP’s vinyl edition – which was previously offered exclusively through her web site’s store – widely available at general retail.

The news comes as dedicated Bey fans, affectionately called the #Beyhive, increase calls for the highly anticipated visuals that are reportedly set to accompany the three-act effort.

Hopes are undoubtedly high the the long-awaited clips will surface before the year’s end.

    LOL AND STILL HASNT REACHED 400K PURE SALES, BUT KEEP HYPING THIS FLOP UNTIL TAYLORS NUMBERS DROP LMAOOOO 😂😭😭😭😭

      I agree FLOPAISSANCE is a flop but beyowulf always been a flop.

      But what does that make your fav ALICIA OFFKEYS?

      In the United States, the KEYS album debuted at number 41 on the Billboard 200 chart with 20,800 album-equivalent units sold; it spent only a week on the chart and is her lowest charting studio album to date

      Or your other fav Rihanna whom NEVER sold 300k first week.

      She has legit surpassed 400k weeks ago, every have you been my dear?

  2. RIP FLOPAISSANCE October 22, 2022

    LMAOOO YALL CAN GO HEAD AND KEEP THE SPIN, TAYLOR JUST FLUSHED THIS ROACH, NOBODY IS BUYING THE HYPE LMAOOO 😭😭😭😂😂😂

      BeyondFAKE is a fat ugly old 41 year old h**, FLOPAISSANCE is supposed to flop like Alicia Keys, beyondFRAUD is also supposed to be as washed up as Usher. FLOPAISSANCE would have sold aroud 400-600k if it wasn’t on streaming platforms. You would be foolish to believe FLOPAISSANCE would have sold 198k-332k regardless. FLOPAISSANCE stadium Tour will also flop I’m sure as did Cuff it and BMS.

      Also ROACH broke Taylors Vinyl record. FLOPAISSANCE Broke several records and the Act 2 movie (WHICH IM SURE YOU WILL WATCH) is still pending. 🤣

    Enjoy it because Taylor just released and about to crush anything Bey has accomplished this year. Taylor new set is poised to sell over 1 million just in u.s alone within the first week.

      This delusional competition you’ll have created between this 2 women is delusional, you all know beyonce leads hence you always feel the need to bring up Taylor swift and only Taylor swift in hopes she can compete, veyonce doesn’t need 20 versions of renaissance to boost her streams and unit sales, she also doesn’t need paid ads views, so no matter what the sales for Midnight end up being, it brings me joy that you now know it is inorganic, stay pressed 😉 😊

      • Tongue’Fcukk October 22, 2022

        Preach Maya, they hate the truth Lmaoo

      • Swifter2020 October 24, 2022

        Inorganic? Didn’t Bey just released the Vinyl to boost sales? Didn’t she released multiple version of Break my soul in order to increase chart placement, streams and sales? Of course you’ll make excuse for Bey who’s been accused countless time for stealing other people’s work. Taylor can singlehandedly write, sing, play and produce her own record. Also, the fan base are organic and that’s why she’s the highest RIAA certified female artists. Facts and facts. So stream your fav because she’ll need it.

    “the largest week for an R&B album on vinyl since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991.” Renaissance is a vibe but def not an R&B album based on the music but a Dance/House or Pop album. Why is every black women that sings considered R&B? The genre of music should be determined by content, not by race.

    Taylor holds the record for most debut albums at #1 not Beyonce.
