Though she’s never had trouble moving units, it would seem Beyonce has unearthed a new found power in streaming, unleashed once her latest album hit iTunes, December 13th 2013.
Indeed, released after Billboard announced streaming data would factor into ‘Billboard Hot 100′ chart positions, the singer’s self-titled new album has seen views garnered on VEVO and units sold on the likes of iTunes force singles ‘Drunk in Love’ and ‘Partition’ to Top Twenty glory.
Now, as Rihanna & Ciara whip up material for their new albums, Bey has seen the aforementioned ‘Partition’ take the net by storm!
Find out how below…
Featuring background vocals from Justin Timberlake, the saucy cut has now garnered a sweet 46,244,187 views since its video was uploaded to the star’s official VEVO account on February 25th!
Dominating Pop’s digital empire as the general public hits the clip to catch its Jake Nava-directed concept, the visual’s continued success comes arm in arm with the criticism launched at the song by Fox’s Bill O’Reilly, who slammed its raunchy nature and urged the star to embrace a more ‘uplifting’ sound.
In related news, ‘Partition’s parent album now sits at sales of 3,132,000 units worldwide.

Flotation will probably take forever to go platinum just like Whale In Love, Yt streams is the only reason Whale In Love peaked so high
Pour it up went platinum with no video no promotion 😉
STFU! Partition is NOT a flop! This single is on a multi-platinum selling album, so most people already have the damn song. It’s was only released on urban formats and it is currently #1 on Urban radio. Keep in mind Beyonce hasnt promoted this single at all with the exception of its s*** video. And dont compare Slaytition to Pour it up, both songs are big urban hits!
over 46 million views is an impressive number especially after releasing all the videos which leaves majority of the people to have seen the video. it just goes to show that she is still on top of her game, just keeps rising and rising 🙂 congrats b!
Yet it can’t reach top 20 lol girl is anyone even buying the songs?
Can Icki chart anymore without 14382 features?
Where is Lana on the charts tho? only two charting singles in America? the struggle.
And Roman Retarded still hasn’t sold 900K. The real struggle right there.
When was Ickis last top 20?
First off her name is Nicki and she had 3 top 20s off her last album.
That wasn’t the question.
Stop acting like Highscool, va va voom, the boys, look ass n**** never and about 7262717 other features never happened since.
Beyonce needs to bring her ass to America and start promo
I feel the album will peak at 7m -8m WW with the right promo and singles
Not bad , especially considering the album is almost double platinum.
Must rihanna and Ciara be mentioned?
You know the hive doesn’t get along with the navy or c squad lol
The song has no promo at all and peopke already have the video. Its doing well. But I really need her to keep this era alive it did so well and is a great album but my instinct tells me she can’t be bothered and is just gonna have another baby. But i guess you never know what Bey has up her sleeve shes bot predictable like some artists.
Not predictable*
JT is on Partition? What part?
@MARK111, he’s on the album audio version where ‘Yonce’ is the intro to Partition. If you listen closely to the breakdown where she sings, “Boy, this all for you just walk my way… to “And tell me how it’s looking babe (looking babe)…”, you can actually hear JT singing “ooh, ooh” as background vocals 🙂
JT is also on rocket doing background.
The voice of our generation yet cheap single still flops
U WISH IT WAS FLOPPING! BUT ITS NOT! ITS #1 ON US URBAN RADIO! which is the only place it was sent to as a single.
Beyonce did not make this album cater for singles at all with all the videos and stuff. But shes still doing pretty well considering.
Beyonce’s Partition Is Now #1 On Urban Radio!
This Is Her Second Single From Her Self Titled Album To Reach #1 On Urban Radio (Drunk In Love Was 1st).
I thought y’all said y’all ddnt care about urban chats tho?
And she is#10 on rhythmic and it about to pass best thing I never had which was 4 biggest radio hit and @FAF get lost this is a 200k+ first week zone only
wh0res run the world.
She needs to start promo wtf
IKR she has done so well so far but Dafuck bey gave us something but I don’t think she will heavily promote it maybe the billboard award and Vma but I don’t see her doing interview or tv shows
S*******
YASS BEY IS SALAYING with Slaytition! Its #1 on Urban Radio! I cant wait til she releases ‘Blow’ next month! It will be her next #1 single! Promo is coming too which is why she ended the tour.
I read the title and thought to myself, this must be based on views. Then I read the article and I was right! So the HIVE is now celebrating streaming views? Lmfao even CAnt remember to purchase you out peaked and has more views (over 100 million) and the hive dragged it for fifth, calling it a flop. If that was a flop then what the hell is this? A struggle? Can this struggle make it’s way up the charts? I mean come on
B**** are you dumb! Can’t remember to chart was released on all radio formats and was the led single. Partition was released to only urban radio formats and is currently #1 on urban radio! Partition is slaying on urban radio which was the only place it was sent to. Not mention this single isn’t getting any promo besides it’s s*** video which every saw when it came out on the ablum. Partition is slaying!!
Explain pour it up please!
No need to compare partition to pour it up. It doesn’t change the fact that partition is Slaying. Besides I don’t remember Pour it up being #1 on urban radio. Both songs have an explicit video and no promo. Neither of them are flops either!
3, 132,000 units? Units?
As in the number of copies the album has sold!
I actually thought it was more, not less.
Less than 400k away from Unpurchased already.
It’s still higher than any other album released last year and this year… If not then within the time it has been out yes
LOL your back?
I didn’t go anywhere, remember these h*** think I’m lovebird or Slayriah so that means technically I didn’t go anywhere… 🙂
Slay Bey Slay!
Well good for her. I still hate this era but still good for her.
No need to compare partition to pour it up. It doesn’t change the fact that partition is not a flop. Besides I don’t remember Pour it up being #1 on urban radio. Both songs have an explicit video and no promo. Neither of them are flops either!
I wonder what shes going to do next.
Stream queen is so damn accurate though cause we know that is the main reason why her singles are charting.
U still here?
Wait a minute, how come its already #1 when it has never been promoted yet? Damn Bey killing her peers. Not many can achieve that much success with little to no promo. Same for her album!
And the haters gotta stop the excuses, since when explicit videos are consirered promo? You cant force people to watch your videos or purchase your albums. They do so because they love it or theyre interested by it, even if its haters who claim to not like her. Just like the main haters here who claim to fislike her but are always the first to rush into articles about Bey. Lmfaoo. But hey, negative attention is still attention ;). Anyway, Beyonce is the first#1 chick in the game right now. So im not surprised sge has this much haters. Congrats to our Queen!! SALAYING!!
Beyoncé sold almost 200 million records worldwide, she has 17 grammy’s and her latest album sold 85000+ in the first week. So everybody else please sit down
im sorry i meant 850000 + in the first week. She never focussed on no1 singles, she has already done that. Singles are meant to sell an album anyway.
