Beyonce’s ‘Formation’ Blasts To #1 On iTunes

Published: Monday 25th Apr 2016 by Sam

Beyonce is proving a formidable force on the charts in the wake of the release of her sixth studio album – ‘Lemonade.’

Following the retail roll-out of the project today, not only has the LP lunged to #1 on iTunes in over 70 countries, several of its songs have catapulted into the top 10.

This is especially the case in the US, where something fairly surprising has taken place.

Details below…

Moments ago, ‘Formation’ overtook Prince‘s ‘Purple Rain’ to hit #1 on the Stateside tally.

Its out of the gate success is particularly noteworthy given that the Mike-Will production was made available for free on TIDAL two months ago.

Three other Beyonce songs also sit within the upper echelon of the count; ‘Sorry’ (#3), ‘Hold Up’ (#4), and ‘6 Inch’ (#5).

Slay!

Is Bey about to dominate with an already released song?! Work!

      I don’t know why I’m cheesing so hard like I released this album myself lol but I’m so proud of bey. They tried to boycott her for formation, yet and still she still tops the charts with an 18 dollar album (that I DID buy an hour ago lol). Can’t wait to see her live!!!

  2. Charlieyoncé April 25, 2016

    Beyoncé has annihilated my edges with this album! Can we please talk about how Formation is at #1 and it was released for free two months ago on Tidal? This is insane! Haters will seethe back into their caves this summer, Bey is here to SLAY! ??✊???

  3. Riheaux April 25, 2016

    Rihanna in ruins

    • SWISH April 25, 2016

      yeah she’s in ruins while she sits with her 7th platinum plaque

      • BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 April 25, 2016

        Purchased plaque. Rihanna album would still be scrapping for platinum status had it not been bought by Samsung!

  4. Que? April 25, 2016

    We looking at the same charts? Cause when I check my iTunes chart Beyonce is just like her high school diploma… Nowhere to be found.

    • Alex April 25, 2016

      Get glasses cuz clearly everyone else is seeing it!

    • RICHIE_RICH April 25, 2016

      The lies you tell… The album is #1 along with Formation

    • Career Ender April 25, 2016

  5. Kemar (@S_C_Jr on Twitter) April 25, 2016

    Love Beyoncé! I had to go ahead and give her my money per usual. Its my favorite album from her after 4. I wonder if the deluxe version is real? I hope the rumored female artist is either Mariah or Adele. Love them!

  6. Surprise..(DEC 2013) April 25, 2016

    THE FACT THAT THIS SONG CAME OUT 2 MONTHS AGO…LMAO

    Hita Daily Double predictions are inn.
    400,000-600,000 (pure sales). When Rihanna can sales more than 300,000 first week and get a #1 album without asking Jay-z to call in a favor to Samsung let me know. Death at Lemondade outselling lemonade in a matter of days!

    • SWISH April 25, 2016

      gradual selling album > front loaded selling album

      • Surprise..(DEC 2013) April 25, 2016

        LOL AND THAT IS JUST FOUR TRACKING DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      • Metzo April 25, 2016

        Anti sure isnt gradually selling.. With less than 15k a week lol

    • Kerry April 25, 2016

      Rihanna don’t need to be number one first week when her albums go on to outsell Beyonces in the long run. The fact is that Rihanna has sold more albums worldwide than Beyonce. Beyonce needs that first week hype so people end up forgetting that overtime Rihanna dominates her in sales. Rihanna= more hits, and more sales Worldwide than beyonce. Now Google that.

      • Nina April 25, 2016

        I love Rihanna, but please tell me an album outside of “GGGB” that can compare to Beyonce’s U.S. Sales….We’ll wait…..

      • Rozel April 25, 2016

        The keyword was worldwide. Rihanna outsells beyonce and is one of the best selling female artist of all times. And she did that in her 20’s. Beyonce is mid thirties and Rihanna outsold her in less time in the biz.

    • toeknee April 25, 2016

      Please more like when rihanna can sell 400K in a year call me.
      #streamingArtist (a drag itself lol) cos bish can’t sell singles no more.

  9. Career Ender April 25, 2016

    you must hold the kindergarten diploma as you highest achievement in life , coz tye receipts are right infront of you IN COLOUR amd you still confused???!!!??

  10. #Beautiful April 25, 2016

    The album has grown on me so much. The movie helped me connect to all the songs on a different level. She’s on an entirely different level man. You call it a gimmick. I call it a risk… I call it art.

  11. DIABETIC STROKE April 25, 2016

    I think HOLD UP is an obvious single it slays WORK in tge raegae department. Daddy lessons would be a good sine choice along with 6 inch & Freedom.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) April 25, 2016

      FREEDOM WILL SLAY THO…….

  12. T April 25, 2016

    Let’s get into this slayage!! #1 album and #1 song on iTunes in under 6 hrs. Only the Queen bey could do this with a song that’s been free for months. Early predictions from HDD have bey doing 400k to 600k and I don’t think that even includes streams. So 6 #1 albums here we come!! If she gets it I think she’ll be the first artist with 6 #1 albums. Regardless of how much she sells the bey hive is proud of bey for once again outdoing herself. Amazing album.

    • BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 April 25, 2016

      The fact that her sales are competing with Princes death sales speaks to her fan base.

      • T April 25, 2016

        Yass bey competes with legends only

    • T April 25, 2016

      I meant 6 consecutive #1 albums

  13. Anne April 25, 2016

    Wow! Have to admit that I love to see my 2 favorite artists dominating the charts this way.

  14. ???Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??? April 25, 2016

    Did anybody else get the Parkwood Entertainment email about the album? If “Hold Up” and “All Night” aren’t singles, I’m gonna have an issue.

    Outselling Anti in 2 days! And just like that, Anti whole era was annihilated. Yall can keep that #1 single. We got #1 album coming and a #1 tour. Get with the winning team. Your fave aint shyt. I repeat she aint shyt. I love it

    • 90kMetzo April 25, 2016

      With Lemonade, beyonce has already set (not broken) SET 2 records! The only female artist with 6 consecutive #1 albums and the ONLY artist EVER to have all of her songs from ONE album be in the top 35 of itunes. Let it begin, peasants.

    • BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 April 25, 2016

      Long a Bey goes atleast 2 times platinum I’m happy. Because her tour is going to smash anyway!

  17. #Beautiful April 25, 2016

    Freedom is gonna be a smash. I cannot wait!

  18. DIABETIC STROKE April 25, 2016

    I cant at Prince & Beys 1 day sales coming for Antis (3 month) total. #POORDAT I predict 600k plus streams. Bey beat Hdd predictions with sekf titled while Anti failed to meet its initial 150k prediction making HDD look like a fool. Poor Hdd drink sum LEMONADE!

    • Career Ender April 25, 2016

  22. Hazier April 25, 2016

    If Bey wanted a #1 song, i’m %100 sure she qould have gotten it.

    • Metzo April 25, 2016

      She knows where the money is and thats excatly why she focuses on those areas. Albums. Tours.

    • DTG April 25, 2016

      Of course. Beyonce knows where the market is, and if she was desperate for a bunch of desposable #1 H100 hits, she could have easily called up Max Martin/RedOne/Calvin Harris/Dr. Luke for some cheesy, repetitive gay Euro/dance pop nonsense that would’ve zoomed to #1 (but ultimately be beneath her talent.) And they all would have dropped what they were doing at a moments notice to work with her too. Nuh-uh. Bey ain’t interested in pandering to Becky with the good hair. That’s why she’s an ARTIST and not a puppet (Rihanna.)

    • Kerry April 25, 2016

      Year right since when? She never had a number 1 since 98. Good luck with that. Beyonce uses hype to move her products. All this over the top visual nonsense to sell not so deep lyrics to her frenzied gullible fans. She could sell you all sh!t in a bag and you’ll buy it. She is so overrated.

      • Kerry April 25, 2016

  23. B_Roni April 25, 2016

    She not showing #1 on iTunes official Charts. Those idiots are slow with their updates like how you gonna be the official charts and not update in real time lol. They did the same with Rihanna album. It’s gonna show #1 on some people screens but others it don’t. Apple.com irritates me.

  24. RICHIE_RICH April 25, 2016

    I loving all this slayage!!!!! Sips lemonade

    • Donnice April 25, 2016

      She still not touching Adele nor Taylor swift first week numbers. Ain’t she supposed to be the oldest in the game still selling half of what they did first week and she been in the game since 96. Adele the newcomer outselling Herr in her own country. How shameful.

      • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 25, 2016

        Haha you maddd
        MIDDLE FINGERS UP! I AINT THINKIN BOUT YOU!

    Six songs are now in the top 10, and Lemonade is #1 in what, almost 90 countries now? Not Beyoncé slaying with an 18 dollar, twelve track album 20 years into her career. QUEEN.

    • Donnice April 25, 2016

      Call me when she finally get a hit on the billboard charts. I tunes don’t count.

    Congrats, Bey! Your next multi platinum album and sixth Hot 100 #1 – “Hold Up” – has officially arrived. Let’s gather some ?, sugar, and water to make this lemonade.

  31. noacid April 25, 2016

    Dont come for Anti sales when she gave away 1.4 million copies you ungrateful hews. I see it on yaĺls phone. Dont lie

    • BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 April 25, 2016

      Lol ?????

    • RICHIE_RICH April 25, 2016

      She gave away a million copies. So are you tellin us that it has only sold 400k…..

      • BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 April 25, 2016

        Clock it ????

      • Donnice April 25, 2016

        And it still bounced back to number one on the charts after giving away a million free. Not to worry Anti as usual will outsell lemonade worldwide. Beyonce needs to be big in America. That’s her home country. Rihanna is a immigrant, so her success can come from anywhere and she has proven that time and time again with her worldwide stats.

  32. toeknee April 25, 2016

  34. B_Roni April 25, 2016

    I’m so glad two artist I like are killing it rih and bey. Even if the idiots and 15 year olds on this site try to tear them apart, both got everyone talking and hating. Two black females dominating. The only two black females that are charting big and making major moves right now..

  35. © Centurion (YEW KNOW I got the SAAAWWWWSE… Yew know I’m SAAAAAUUUU$$$$$$YYYYYY) April 25, 2016

    SCREAMING @ the no-life-having-āss-høe-hive bragging about iTunes positions. Don’t they make fun of them all the time? The bigger question should be when is she gonna top the historic Billboard Hot 100.

    • RICHIE_RICH April 25, 2016

      How is it that Beyonce’ is selling 500-600k when Anti came out in Jan and only sold 400k? BB100 is Rihanna lane and BB200 is Beyonce’ lane. Last I checked Albums cost more than singles…. Sip lemonade

  36. Annalise April 25, 2016

  37. B_Roni April 25, 2016

    I’m not trying to hate on anyone but I hope Beyonce and Rihanna albums stay up there and both sale and chart for months whether it’s singles,streaming or whatever. The Grammys and these award shows better not pull that white folks crap this year and next year. Cause both these women been putting in work and hits. Hopefully Alicia keys will do some damage as well since she say she going back to her roots

    @THEHIVE I like my lemonade with a lot of SUGAR. Anyone got the tea on those HBO RATINGS. Funny thing even if they are low or high it doesnt matter. If they are low it will be Bey sold high even tho… and if they are high bey sold so and so even tho so many ppl saw and heard the albumovie already. Lol and if beys first wk worldwide sales beat Anti i will scream. Wont be hard poor Anti has only sold 800k and will stall at 900k-1 mill. self titled sold more than that in 5 days. since bey dont have holiday sales i doubt she sells 1 mill but i still hope so.

    • Rosie April 25, 2016

      You know they will try it with HBO ratings even though
      1. It’s on premium cable and
      2. Even if it only had 1 million viewers, it would have higher rating than damn near every show on there except GoT

  49. Anne April 25, 2016

    I hope everyone continues to support Formation, with the airplay that it’s still getting and sales, it has the highest potential right now for her on the singles front.

She’s about to slay a stadium in two more days while slaying the charts. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE LET HER CLOCK A MILLION COPIES PURE SALES WITHOUT STREAMING!!! Take that white woman’s (Taylor Swift’s) record!!!

  54. UMo April 25, 2016

    She needs to perform Formation again. I want to see this go as far as it can.

  55. Rosie April 25, 2016

    lmao @ the way the haters went into HIDING after that 400-600K projection came out.
    And screaming at the 94 Metacritic score. The way they thought the other album was so acclaimed with a 74.
    Congrats, this is even beating ST for her most experimental album. 6 Inch alone, whew. Also death at all the indie artists in the credits, thought she only had credibility with hoodrats, or that’s what someone else told me.

  56. killian April 25, 2016

    King B done slayed me !!! Sorry is that jam with the oomf and all night that vocals sonically she took me to heaven and then hold up and for some reason i see freedom being a hit.I love all the songs.This album ia really cohesive SHE really not letting go of that crown anytime soon

  57. DIABETIC STROKE April 25, 2016

    While I dont this album is as good as self titled i do think it makes a good PARENT to that Album if it makes any since the better half of LEMONADE is so much better than the weaker half of Self Titled and can at worse compete with the better half. I just think self titled is FULLER and more Dynamic. LEMONADE is more playful tho and takes even more risk. Just on most the songs there is versus that arent as good as the chorus or hook and vice versa but that just makes the music more enjoyable at times. For instance the last 20 seconds of 6 inch & the 2nd part of sandcasles are FING EPIC ASF!

      I f****** LOVEEEEE 6-Inch, it’s usually not my kinda thing but BEYONCÉ fücking DidT that hunnie!!!!! Im suddenly a fan of The Weeknd too, cuz baby boy slayedT that track!
      ___
      I would choose All Night as the ending single for this era, maybe 4th single in or so. ???

      • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 25, 2016

        6inch is cool but I’m not much of a Weekend fan. This might be a first, but his voice gets on my damn nerves lol. It has way too much vibrato.
        I think that Sorry, Freedom, or Hold Up would all be good potential lead single’s

    Wait @ Formation going #1
    bubbling under FLOP, they said

    • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 25, 2016

      Hoodrat Anthem they said

    • Career Ender April 25, 2016

      they’re catching more L’s than ANTiSuccess is on shelves in musix stores

  62. ???Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??? April 25, 2016

    Those 11 users on Metacritic that gave the album a bad score are such haters. Got to be white supremacists I’m sure.

  63. B2B April 25, 2016

    Do y’all hear how powerful her vocals are in FREEDOM!!! When she performs this song live.. ✌?️?

  64. RICHIE_RICH April 25, 2016

    So she got a 94 Metacritic……

  65. LB April 25, 2016

    The difference is that those albums [Anti and The Life Of Pablo] were at best a bold and intriguing mess: the sense that the artists behind them were having trouble marshalling their ideas was hard to escape. Lemonade, however, feels like a success, made by someone very much in control.
    – Guardian O_o

    It’s a rare album that sounds this warm, this easy, this melodic, this fierce, this startling, this unforgettable.
    :0 What???? Nonsense

    Lemonade is an entire album of emotional discord and marital meltdown, from the world’s most famous celebrity; it’s also a major personal statement from the most respected and creative artist in the pop game.
    – Rollingstone
    Hahahahahahahahahahahaha are we listening to the same album?

    Lemonade is by far Beyoncé’s strongest album. It features guest appearances by Kendrick Lamar and The Weekend. It samples Led Zeppelin, Animal Collective and The Beat’s version of Can’t Get Used To Losing You. There’s even a country song.
    – Telegraph
    LMAO I’m not even a Beyonce fan and even I know that this is some serious Bull$hit.

    I wonder how much Yonce paid for all of this, the hype train is about to derail. I cannot believe they are praising mediocrity like this and parading it as the highest form of quality when it is not (lipstick on a p** and all of that).

    The media has began the endless rollercoaster of pandering to the masses in order to win some clicks, is this what a little bit of Google ad money has one to journalism. Gone are the days of quality journalism it seems, these journalists seem to have been picked form the worst ghetto and reviewed what might be Yonce’s second worst album.

    Pablo is miles ahead of this album, so is Anti. Where is the objectivity.

    • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 25, 2016

      ^^He always got them f***** excuses. I pray to Lord you reveal what his truth is^^

    • Career Ender April 25, 2016

      mediocrity does not sell all over the work e.g. AntiSuccess

      • Career Ender April 25, 2016

        world*

      • LB April 25, 2016

        Right, because by that standard what Taylor Swift puts out is quality? Do you have to work extra hard to be this stupid?

      • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 25, 2016

        @lb
        At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. The hive is winnin and y’all ain’t ???

      • Career Ender April 25, 2016

        Basic Swift makes solid pop tunes
        .
        Blank Space, Styles and Bad Blood are pop perfection same goes to Katy Perry she makes solid pop tunes Roar, Dark Horse, Unconditionally

        .
        Rihanna could never, Just listen to higher and her uninteresting singing voice on anti
        .
        #ByeTrick

      • LB April 25, 2016

        Oh you stan for Taylor Swift now LMAO, I now see you cannot match my superior music taste. Run along.

      • Career Ender April 25, 2016

        how can I stan for Taylor and call her Basic Swift?
        .
        I know you’re hurt but you won’t die

      • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 25, 2016

        I love pseudo-enlightened imbeciles such as yourself. You imply that your musical taste is superior, yet you have yet to list a reason why this album isn’t good musically. Then again, you listen to Rhianna’s music, which is the exact opposite of creativity. I’m not surprised you know mediocrity when you see it; it’s prevalent in your playlist.

      • LB April 25, 2016

        @Career Ender

        Hurt by what? You’re calling Taylor Swift basic and yet praise her music, you’re the one who made a statement without credible backing. By your standards, Oops I did it again is deserving of album of the decade.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) April 25, 2016

      Pablo is not a mess tho, but sill good…ANTI-C*** ON THE OTHER HAND IS GENERiC MESS WITH REPETITIVE LYRICS….KEPP THE TEARS COMING THO…

    • RICHIE_RICH April 25, 2016

      You seething for the gawds!!!!!!!!

      The public is living for #lemomade

      • LB April 25, 2016

        That’s because what I’ve written is clearly beyond your scope or comprehension, the only response you have is the simple hive lingo of “you’re seething”. You cannot challenge any of my points because they are true.

      • RICHIE_RICH April 25, 2016

        #boybye the truth hurts!!!! Eat you’re own words and suck some lemons or better yet sips some good old southern lemonade. Your points are bullshiit. No need to show my intellectual skills with BS. #middletingersup. I Anit sorry!!!!!

      • LB April 25, 2016

        Eat you’re own words

        How can you call my points b******* when judging by your horrible grammar, you cannot understand them.

        Just admit that my points are beyond your understanding and keep it moving.

  66. #TeamTinashe Stan April 25, 2016

    I forgot about the album lol. Not really a fan of the album as it doesn’t make me feel anything but will give it another try.
    HASHTAG: #SupportWomenInMusic

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) April 25, 2016

      I’m sure u did not forget, stop trying to act BRAND NEW..Can’t wait for JOYRIDE to be out in 201…………..WHENEVER IT COMES OUT.

  67. M El April 25, 2016

    And let’s see how long this last..good day

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) April 25, 2016

      TEARS!!!!!!!!!!

  68. Rosie April 25, 2016

    Replying to actual critic reviews with “Hahaha” and “LOL” won’t change the fact that both Lemonade and TLOP are more acclaimed than that try-hard attempt at an “experimental” album known as Anti.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) April 25, 2016

      I know right, they are pressed and sad…WHILE ANTI-C*** TOUR IS STRUGGLING TO MOVE TICKETS…LMAO

      • Rosie April 25, 2016

        Exactly.
        *waits for them to bring up my other faves because they have no defense left against Bey (I have to go to class now anyway, I’ll see them when I get back in a few hours)*

  69. Duffster Lovato April 25, 2016

    I’m so so excited to see Bey running the charts and making records not just breaking them. She’s coming for the grammys. She’ll do 700-800k for this 4days. Where the Nazi’s at?

    • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 25, 2016

      She really wants to take home album of the year

      • Duffster Lovato April 25, 2016

        The grammy better give her that award. I can’t wait to see the performances for 6 Inches, Sorry, Hold, Don’t Hurt Yourself, Freedom, All Night and Sandcastles. She has to perform Daddy Lessons at the CMAs.

      • Anne April 25, 2016

        Had the same thought about Daddy’s Lessons (CMA), she should also send the song to country radio. Lemonade has something for at least three different radio genres.

  70. Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 25, 2016

    Self titled was just the beginning. Beyonce really outdid herself with this project. From the visuals to the music , everything was exceptionally executed. Kudos to her!

    • Fancy BISH April 25, 2016

      Yaaaaaaas! 🙂

  71. Danny Bey April 25, 2016

    What a time to be a Beyoncé Stan. Ugh I feel like crying. And laughing at the same time. Cuz the FLOPvy ALWAYYYYYYS talks ALLLLL that s*** and then end up looking dumb AF. Gawd I’m bout to have a great day.

  72. Sasha Fierce Representative April 25, 2016

    IMA keep streaming this all damn week. This project showed growth. I’m proud of her!

  73. King B April 25, 2016

    SoI guess the Bey/Rih battle is coming to an end? They released album around the same time and Bey won in everything except single.

  74. Anti-singing garbage vioces April 25, 2016

    ITUNE TOP 10 IS ALL ONLY THE QUEEN BEYONCE. Hope her haters are choking in their hate. Kill them Bey

  75. Anti-singing garbage vioces April 25, 2016

    6 inch..IS MY FAVE, that song feels so good, totally in love with that song.

  76. FC/JC April 25, 2016

    Did she do an #ANTiDiary for this feat????

    LMFAPOOOODWJABHSJ

  77. King B April 25, 2016

    The album is predicted to sell 500k/
    600k. All the singles combined could do 1 million, so Bey outsell Anti, Work, Needed Me, Kiss It Better in just 4 days??? Now UK and Australian BeyHive, what y’all waiting for? Get the album now!

  78. King B April 25, 2016

    Bey is winning!!!!!!!!Mark, LB did you guys see that? What’s your prediction again?200k?Formation can’t chart? Bey is washed up? She will not get a number one album? What else?? In your own words “eggs in the haters face”

  79. Royalkev April 25, 2016

    I’m just now slipping in each post and getting my MF-ing life with every headline! Am I reading right? Formation? … The flop? … The bubbling under track? … is #1 on Itunes? These haters in these TGJ streets have been worrying about this particular song’s charting since SB. Glad to see their calls have been answered today! I guess it was answered a few times though (as I type: #1 Formation, #2 Hold Up, #3 Sorry … wait for it… #4 6 Inch Heels, #6 Freedom, #7 Don’t Hurt Yourself … hold on, I’m running out of space… #8 All Night and #9 Pray You catch me… all on Itunes). Won’t he do it! It’s true, ask and you shall receive!

    I’m so happy for Beyonce. She is definitely one of the hardest working entertainers in the game therefore she deserves all the recognition and praise.

    she honestly aspires me to become great ion anything I set my mind too.

    Love her creativity, and her direction with this record.

    Thank you for this album Queen Bey!!
