However, Beyoncé’s album made significant progress within just a week. It is the biggest streaming week for the artist.
In 2016, Beyoncé became the first Black woman to debut at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart for her hit album project ‘Lemonade’. The album sold over 653,000 units.

The traditional album sale has encompassed 168,000 units along with a total of 7000 track equivalent albums. There are also four limited edition vinyl for the album which sold over 62,000 copies. It is Beyoncé’s biggest sales week and also for the format of Vinyl as it’s the largest sale for any vinyl released in 2024. However, fans also noticed that the vinyl editions do not consist of 5 songs that are added online, which means they can only be streamed.
When it comes to the chart toppers, Beyoncé currently has eight No.1 albums on the Billboard 200.
