Beyonce Earns Sixth No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With ‘Lemonade’

Quote:

Beyonce’s Lemonade album charges in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, giving the superstar her sixth chart-topper. The set earned 653,000 equivalent album units in the week ending April 28, according to Nielsen Music. Pure album sales comprised 485,000 of that sum. All six of Beyonce’s studio albums have debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lemonade follows her self-titled album in 2013, 4 (2011), I Am Sasha Fierce (2008), B’Day (2006) and Dangerously In Love (2003). Beyonce is the only act to reach No. 1 with their first six studio efforts (and the only act to debut atop the list with their first six).

Quote:

Elsewhere in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200 chart, Prince rules with five titles — all in the top seven of the list — following the first full week of chart activity following his death on April 21. His The Very Best of Prince greatest hits collection is pushed down one spot to No. 2 with 391,000 units (though it gains by 118 percent) and 216,000 copies sold (up 116 percent). The Purple Rain soundtrack is also forced backwards, despite a gain, as it moves 2-3 with 150,000 units (up 117 percent) and 133,000 copies sold (up 113 percent). Two more of Prince’s greatest hits albums rank in the top 10: The Hits/The B-Sides, hits a new peak, as it climbs 6-4 with 106,000 units (up 159 percent) and 56,000 in sales (up 134 percent), while Ultimate also zooms to a new peak, 61-6, with 40,000 units (up 319 percent) and 37,000 in sales (up 317 percent). One more Prince album features in the latest top 10: his fifth studio effort, 1999. It climbs 31-7 — a new chart high — with 36,000 units (up 154 percent) and 33,000 in sales (up 149 percent). 1999 previously peaked at No. 9 in 1983.

Beyonce annoys fans by teasing new vegan diet as major news.
Source: Supplied

The global pop star said she was desperate to tell the world a secret in a heavily-promoted teaser for an upcoming interview on US breakfast program Good Morning America.

“Beyonce has something amazing she wants you to know,” the dramatic promotional clip promised.

“This is something I have to share with everyone,” she said. Speculation grew of a new album, a concert, or even a new baby on the way.

But what was hyped as a big announcement turned out to be just a publicity stunt to promote her new vegan meal delivery service, The 22-Day Revolution.

The 33-year-old is now facing a major backlash, with fans spamming her Instagram account with emojis of French fries, burgers, drumsticks and doughnuts.

The “Bootylicious” singer, who released her fifth solo album with no warning straight to iTunes in 2013, was also criticised on Twitter.

“Beyonce dropped a whole album and collection of videos like a thief in the night but wants to make an announcement about her diet?” Byrd tweeted.

Other members of the Beyhive — the adopted name of the singer’s loyal fanbase — were similarly unimpressed.

“Beyonce did not wake us up early on a Monday to tell us we need to eat more rabbit food,” V tweeted.

“How is Beyonce going to tell me to be a vegan when her and Nicki was feeding each other burgers in the Feelin Myself music video?” Benadryl tweeted.

During the TV interview Beyonce insisted her weight loss was thanks to a new meal plan devised by her trainer Marco Borges.

“I’m not naturally the thinnest, I have curves, I’m proud of my curves, and I have struggled from a young age with diets,” she said.

“(But after adopting a plant-based diet), I felt like my skin was really firm. A lot tighter than when I deprived myself of food and got the weight off fast. And the weight stayed off.”

Beyonce is asking a New York judge to approve the five-year deals, a requirement because the girls are minors, The New York Post reports.

The first contract covers LA-based sisters Chloe Bailey, 17, and Halle Bailey, 15.

Beyonce’s manager came across a YouTube video of the duo belting out Pretty Hurts, a song from Beyonce’s last album. The video has over 10 million views.

Their father, Douglas, gushes in court papers, “We cannot think of a better person to help guide the girls,” adding his daughters “worship” Bey.

Their $ US1 million contract provides for up to six albums over five years. It awards Beyonce 15 per cent of the sisters’ gross earnings.

Beyonce also signed a third singer, 14-year-old Sophie Beem of New York, to her Parkwood Entertainment company.

Beem inked a $ US560,000 deal after she wowed Parkwood executives.

Beem finished in the top 40 contestants on The X Factor in 2012.
