Beyonce has surely had a big week. She shocked everyone and released her fifth studio album last Friday and it sold over 80,000 copies in three hours. In 2 days it sold over 430,000, and by the third day she had sold over 617,000 copies in the US alone and over 800,000 worldwide. Now Mrs. Carter’s album has sold over one million copies. And next week she will most likely remain at the number one spot on Billboard 200 as she’s predicted to sell about 250,000 more copies in the second week now that the physical copies are now available (looks like Target not selling the album isn’t hurting her very much.)
The singer had an album release party the other night with her tour crew, and photos have been plastered all over Instagram. Check them out below:
There’s even video of her taking shots with her people too:
In related news, Beyonce also made history with this new album. According to Billboard, the singer is the only female artist in history to have her first five studio albums go number one.
Congrats to Beyonce.
I love that Bey is finding time to celebrate. She’s a bad chick.
Love it. And of course Target can’t stop her. But it’s hilarious that they are now in trouble because 40 million of their customers credit/debit card info was stolen by hackers! More reason not to go there. Karma is a bish! LOL.
Girl I saw that! I’m so glad I haven’t been there in a good minute. People were all on Twitter talking about it. If they put more time into trying to make sure their customers were safe instead of trying to shade Bey this wouldn’t have happened.
Yeah I know some of the people who had their card info stolen. That’s a scary feeling. Smh.
Oh damn. *hops on google*
That chick tosses them back like a pro. LOL. Get em Bey.
Yes Bey. Enjoy your reign boo!
5 number one albums. That’s very impressive. A lot of artists can’t do that. Congrats to her.
Beyoncé still slaying records left and right. I guess the only thing Jason knife is good for now is slicing pieces of Beyoncé album party cake for the I’ve Been On singer is slaying more than enough people as it is with her self titled album released on Friday the 13th. While everybody else is counting singles Beyoncé is counting consecutive #1 albums which demonstrates a whole body of work to be remember for a lifetime. This new album is iconic while Beyoncé in general is a modern day legend.
Aww love her. It looks like she had a great time too.
Bey is killing the game right now! Damn!
Damn I need some shots myself. She has me over here wanting a drink. LOL.
5 number one albums? And who’s washed up again? LOL!
Congrats to Bey. I can’t even hate.
KANG.
So B made history twice so far with this album and it just came out last week. Fastest selling on iTunes, and only female to have first 5 albums go number one. She really is music royalty. Congrats to her.
Oh yeah Madonna also called Beyonce a queen last night on Instagram. Bloop!
