JUST IN: Beyonce shatters records by selling 828,773 copies in one weekend (617,213 in U.S. alone) http://huff.to/1fyDcP1
Beyonce took a big risk in dropping her self-titled album on iTunes late last week without any pre-release promotion, and it's now abundantly clear that the bold move is paying off. The singer's camp tells The Huffington Post that "Beyoncé" sold 828,773 copies over the weekend, a massive take made even more impressive by the fact that the album was an iTunes exclusive for the duration of that period.
