Grammy-winning singer Beyoncé Knowles-Carter‘s new Lemonade album has reportedly dismantled its competition by selling over 500,000 copies in week one.
According to reports, Queen Bey’s surprise release sits alone atop the sales chart this week.
The moment we’ve all been waiting for has arrived. Columbia megastar and Queen of the Universe Beyoncé has topped the HITS Album Sales Chart with around 501k for Lemonade. On the Sales Plus Streaming (SPS) Chart, she snagged an additional 163k, bringing that grand total to 664k. And if you break the SPS number down, it’s approximately 92k TEA (with huge single sales) and 76k SEA. (HITS Daily Double)
After initially coming out as a TIDAL streaming exclusive, Bey’s album arrived on digital retailers iTunes and Amazon this week.
Tidal holdouts can now experience Beyoncé’s latest. Lemonade is available to download on both iTunes and Amazon, after being sold exclusively on Tidal for 24 hours. The visual album, released Saturday, will continue to stream exclusively on Tidal, and will not be released to Apple Music or other streaming services. (USA Today)
