Beyonce’s self-titled visual album iTunes exclusive, which was released today (December 13), has sold more than 80,000 copies in 3 hours, reports billboard.com.
The iTunes video album exclusive is not set to be available until December 20. The project includes 14 selections and 14 accompanying videos with additional bonus content. For now, it is unclear when Beyonce is set to be available in other outlets, as per billboard.com.
Beyonce is projected to land at #1 in the week’s top albums chart. Her project’s selling of 80,000 copies has matched half of the projected sales figures for Garth Brooks’ Blame It All On My Roots: Five Decades Of Influences in three hours. Brooks’ disc was expected to be #1 with projections of 150,000-160,000 units sold, according to billboard.com, before the Beyonce surprise release.
Beyonce’s new album was a surprising release to all but a dozen or so members of Sony Records, according to billboard.com.
The singer’s new project includes collaborations with Jay Z, Blue Ivy, Drake, Frank Ocean and Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche, among others.
Official sales figures are set to be announced Wednesday (December 18) in HipHopDX’s weekly album sales report.
HipHopDX reported the tracklist for Beyonce shortly after it was announced today. The tracklist, video previews and announcement clip can be found here.

“HIPHOP” DX??? Pretty sure Beyonce is pop…
so is justin timberlake and miley but thats never stopped them before
Cmon man. She’s the First Lady of Hip Hop. And you obviously clicked on the post and commented so it’s of some interest to you.
sorry, the first lady of hip hop is Mary J Blige, get your facts right
Marketing sure is changing w/ Jay, Beyonce, Kanye, Nipsey, and Em.
Definitely, and in their cases it seems to be working. I wonder how many different ways there are to promote and release an album though. These strategies can only be successful for so long.
it just goes to show you do not need to spend millions on advertising and being independent from the start is probably the best thing for any artist
FROM START?
BEYONCE IS A SUPERSTAR ALREADY. SHE CAN DO IT
NEW ARTISTS CANT DO IT FROM START
very smart. put the album out before it is bootlegged and before negative reviews push people off. saved on marketing costs too.

BLUE IVY IS AN ARTIST?
Why not? Destiny Jones executive produced Stillmatic.
I never knew Beyonce had black tits before
Remember the joke when a superstar can put out an album without notice and it will still be a huge hit? Don’t you just love it when your jokes are actually played out?

It’s the holiday season i wanna hear songs from people who can sing!!! She put the album out on surprise because her career been done, people see she can’t sing and, we’re tired of lookin at the same stripper shit on Tv she can’t do like jay and jump on any hot song outside nY!!! First the fake pregnancy same day lil wayne album was coming out and now this shit same week R kelly coming out look like jay work up and down, this nigga hate to see another human shine!!!Oh I forgot he did it to kanye and J.cole but these niggas seem to love it so keep on fuck’em!!!!! She has 17 songs not 1 crack top 100 unless she pay for it!!!! P.S.forgot about Kelly Rowland!
Wait, you’re really saying that Beyonce can’t sing??
LMAO nigga you can’t be that fucking salty. Of course she doesn’t have a fucking number hit it just dropped less than 24 hours ago with 100,000+ sales. And Beyonce is in her own fucking lane, handing out Ls and not even caring about niggas names. Mark my words when I say celebs will be doing this from now on out. Dropping a song with 0 promo, peopleon her own team didn’t even know she was doing this shit and you brought R. Kelly as a reason for her doing this lmao SMUCK ASS NIGGA.
Agreed. Beyonce is highly overrated and can’t compete with the Perry’s, Swifts, etc. The jig is up, B 🙁
Honestly seems like everything j and b do is secretive??
Imo i think they pull these tricks bc they are scared to fail. They have money and power, but they kno if their albums don’t hit no 1 people will start talking.
correction 14 SONGS 17 VIDEOS.
She didn’t give the leaches a chance to download and bootleg her shit. If you want it your bum ass has to buy it. LoL
or wait 2 days
yeah, remember when Jay tried to get knighted in the U.K. but the refused him?
And beyonce,we know your cold. like the queen.
am i the only on here who still bumps Crazy in Love?
