Beyonce’s self-titled album, which dropped exclusively on iTunes Friday (December 13), sold more than 828,000 units over the weekend, according to huffingtonpost.com.
Beyonce is the fastest-selling project to debut on iTunes. It reportedly sold more than 617,000 units domestically. The project sold more than 80,000 units in its first three hours of availability on iTunes.
The project’s first-week sales figures are also Beyonce’s best, topping her 2006 album B’day’s 541,000 first week sales total.
Beyonce was released as a visual album, featuring 14 selections and 17 videos. The project is being sold for $15.99. Songs are not scheduled to be available for individual purchase until December 20.
On Friday (December 13), Beyonce also released a video explaining the release and her reason for making it a visual album with music videos to accompany each song.
“I see music,” Beyonce said. “It’s more than just what I hear. When I’m connected to something, I immediately see a visual or a series of images that are tied to a feeling or emotion, a memory from my childhood, thoughts about life, my dream or my fantasies. They’re all connected to the music. That’s one of the reasons why I wanted to do a visual album. I wanted people to hear the songs with the story that’s in my head. That’s what makes it mine.”

this illuminati hoe definately doesnt deserve those numbers this is illuminati at work
fuck illuminati, Jay-Z and beyounce
is this bitch bleaching or is she bleaching?
You’ve obviously never heard of make-up, bruh
Soo, why is she putting on make up to look white?
Bitch ain’t bleaching Fam, it’s just bad lighting and bad makeup that got her looking like a Lepor.
Her hair is pretty dumb also
It ain’t bad light….she models makeup professionally and wouldn’t sign off on some shit like that. Maybe she trying to be like Sammy Sosa
Just tryna look white as possible…u wanna do something revolutionary? How bout represent ur true self and give real black women some more confidence.
lol, I don’t think they need any more confidence than they currently have
Jeezus all this with no promo or videos. Damn, gotta give it up to Beyonce for that.
pepsi bought 700K
Who is the blonde white chick in the picture and why is she on a Beyonce article…but then again why the heck is a Beyonce article on a HipHop website? Can we get some Keisha Cole and Mary J too or are they not HipHop like Beyonce is?
She is getting a lot more publicity now that she’s white.
This site is run by white people, so they only support r&b artists that white people like. That’s why you’ll see Beyonce articles or Rihanna and not Keyshia Cole or Mary.
I think it has more to do with the fact that she is actually white now. I wonder who else might go white?
Michael Jackson peeled his skin, conked his hair, hacked off his broad nose, chopped off his thick lips and had genetically white babies created in a test tube….he even married Elvis white daughter. That type of negro had to die so that the entire world could see that early death is the punishment for treason.
These numbers are all lies, damn people will believe anything
Tell em’ why you mad crab. Congratulate that woman. Stop being a hater clown!
Who?
Mike Jones you deaf turd
Das not Mike Jones, looks more like Halle Berry when she played that white lady in that Tom Hanks movie that sucked.

I am sorry you feel that way friend, I love all the colors of the rainbow
Dang, she setting new rules too! Checkout thegrandreport, they got some good hip hop and viral videos on there
ZOMG! going white is the new thing
We live under a global construct of white supremacy and many non-whites see white skin as a status symbol so they bleach themselves like Vybez Cartel and Sammy Sosa…on the other end of the spectrum you have many whites who are Tanoholics and burn their skin to look more non-white.
all these white actors GOTTA TAN THEIR SKIN BROWN
cause pale pasty skin is considered NASTY AND UGLY
TELL MEGAN FOXX that she aint black and should stop tanning
Megan Fox is gross yo, look at her thumbs

Hanna Montana can suck all the black dick she likes, hell you can even claim her, white folk don’t want nothing to do with that little whore.
I had me a colored gal once, Im not into ni99er women but me and a pal did a half breed hooker once outside a tittle bar. One of my youngins wants this album for Chritsmas but we dont listen to rap crap or ni99er music and this gal is a rapper half breed or not I aint gonna buy it.
It’s ok Cletus, she is white now, you can go buy it
Wow, be careful doing your Xmas research you inbred hick, she ain’t no half breed and she ain’t no rapper she’s a Creole singer married to a rapper but illiterate backwood Rednecks like you can’t even read because the words are colored in black and you hate Black.

Beyonce article on a HipHop website? Can we get some Keisha Cole and Mary J too or are they not HipHop like Beyonce is?
OMG no way, tell us more
#NEWRULES
Bey>em
Naw way, as poor was Em’s album was, I’d prefer it over this one, and I listen to both “genres.” Eminem is the Artist of the Decade and probably century for a reason…
I just heard on Fox news that Santa & Jesus are both white & now Beyonc too, my life has no meaning anymore.
Santa is white, the harsh climate and lack of Sun in the North Pole region has kept him from having normal skin pigment, his lack of Sun and warmth may also have calcified his Pineal gland and atrophied his penis.
According to the Bible Jesus had feet the color of copper and hair like lambs wool, the book of Matthew describes Jesus parents Mary and Joseph fleeing to Africa to protect the infant Jesus from King Herod….no where in the text to they mention sunburn or sunblock so it’s safe to assume Jesus was not a leper, albino, or Caucasian. Right?
there’s no such thing as jesus
There is no such thing as Jesus or Santa so lets just go off what we read about them in the mythological books,
ahhh hate little girls they hype this crap up downloaded the album shit was wack ass fuck waste of time -_- all her shit sounds the same
and there was promotion for this album right when video hit everyone lied said omg shit nice that us promoting she just smart to let us over hype things like always
and the gimmick begins lol people payed 16.99 for video of songs there free online this is sad and then songs come out 20 right she promted the shit out of this lol only video is not a album her album comes 20 now she going to sell nothing
michael buble new album is hot. one directions album is a bit better though. but id still make a cum fart cocktail in beyonces butt. i really wish i could mind control anyone cause id go to a one direction concert and make them have butt sex with each other in front of the entire audience. that would be so hot with their pee pee’s all stinky like poop. then they would eat each other off with poop in their mouths. i bet those boys have tattoos on their as saying “one direction” and that direction is in their ass
Bahahahahaha, me too
BEYONCE IS THE QUEEN OF POP
–
nobody gives a shit about that faggot micheal buble
one direction are gay and people hate them like bieber and their album doesnt come
close to beyonce
BEYONCE ALSO SOLD more records than them combined
Did you even read what he said, of coarse they are gay & I wanna watch
And Beyonce bought 600k of these overpriced useless albums.
Stop hating… You sound like you’re mad at her success. I bet you’re a minority. It’s in your nature to hate on your own. SMH
that is not possible
go hate somewhere else you cant even sell half of that
How else the fuck beyonce would sell more than miley cyrus? She has no promo, NO AWARENESS, and her last album bombed.
The best promo is to release the album out of nowhere so you can get the whole world talking.
Beyonce’s alst album went platinum. That’s not a bomb.
*last album
Minorities are SOUR right now because one of their own is successful and just put out a record that they couldn’t steal so instead of congratulating her they speculating that she bought her own album and a bunch of other crab in the bucket bullsh*t. LoL… Ya mad ass hell at your own. Haters going to hate!
You smell like farts
amen brother grand wizard
I want to see her weiner so bad right now, do you think she will ever show it?
hell naw. she might in private though
Illuminati ride again Go B
far from a role model for black girls when she bleaches and tries to be white.
beyonce was always light and that is not her skin color its make up – and she married a black man – not white faggot man
plus all actors and actress tan so they can look black
megan fox is trying to look black
beyonce was never thaaaaaat light though
Im white and I think Jay-Z is a faggot and I would kill this fat camel in the streets. thanks
Would give first born to smell her bicycle seat
(pre jay)
Lmao! You so nasty!
BRACE YOURSELVES!!
COMMENTS FROM HATERS ARE COMING!!!
Hate or truth?
An’t nobody stupid enough to believe these numbers.
Can’t believe she went white, OMG! everyone is going to do it now.
Wow this comment section makes me realise why I hate the internet. Congratulations everyone.

I think you should do itunes first anyway, then go to brick and mortar if it is successful. GAme changer
“there’s no such thing as jesus”
He’ll remind you that you typed that real soon.
