No money can emphasize or describe
The love that's in between the lines
Boy look into my eyes
While I'm grinding on you
This is beyond sex
I'm high on you
If it's real then you know how I feel
As she explained to Robin Roberts on Good Morning America last week, 4 is a very special number to Beyoncé. However, as this week's worldwide album sales charts makes clear, it's not the only special number around these parts: 4 shot to #1 on sales charts around the world.
4 hit #1 in the US today, making it her fourth consecutive solo album to do so, and making her only the third artist in history to have his or her first four studio albums debut atop the Billboard album chart.
Of the available international charts, 4 also debuted at #1 in the United Kingdom, France, Ireland, Spain, Switzerland, Singapore, and Taiwan.
More charts will become available as the week continues on, but at this point it's safe to say that 4's not the only number being associated with Beyoncé's latest release.
Now we only need a video.
