This week, Beyoncé's LEMONADE spends a sixth consecutive week at number one in Belgium (Flanders) and hence becomes the first international album in the last 5 years to top the chart for more than 5 weeks (overall).

The previous one to achieve this feat was obviously Adele in 2011 with her unstoppable 21.

Beyoncé hence surpasses Coldplay 's Ghost Stories (in May 2014) and David Bowie 's The Next Day (in March 2013) who both spent 5 weeks at number one.

When will your fave especially in this sales climate? Even the local artists there are no longer able to manage this feat.

And it returns to number one for a seventh week in its 16th charting week.

7 weeks at #1 is a new record for an American female.

The previous record of 6 weeks was held by Norah Jones.

And Belgium is not even in the US.



And the fact that she is managing to do this based on digital sales.

I don't think there is Tidal in Belgium, right?

Originally posted by RobynFKA Mhmm so they are really buying a 18€ album...well congratulation Beyoncé.

Since six weeks.

And buying it enough for it remain at number #1 in the inexistence of Tidal over there.

And it's more expensive than 18€.
