fffffffff Thanks!

This is just too much.

Imagine if anyone had predicted this scenario between 2012 and yesterday. They'd be dragged mercilessly.

I think that's my favourite part about following the whole chart game though - it's so up and down and impossible to predict and it makes for moments like this, where it takes everyone by surprise.

I still can't believe all this stuff. But I'm happy for her, the way she released this album was so original and unique. I need to listen it. Congrats, Legend B

Isn't Garth already at like 170K?

How embarrassing for everyone else.

She is the ONLY one who could something like this (except for Adele maybe).

why would anyone be emberrased? this is great for beyonce but other artists have had higher first week sales.

Not Bey selling almost as much in 3 hours as Ke$ha did in a week.

The Building Chart reflects the first four days (Monday through Thursday) of SoundScan's tracking week (which ends Sunday) as reported by six major merchants: iTunes, Trans World Entertainment, Best Buy, Starbucks, Target and Anderson Merchandisers. Billboard estimates that they make up about 85% of all U.S. album sales.

So basically she outsold everyone in just a few hours of release. It doesn't include Friday.

Amazing. Slay us all!

[Moonage Daydream]

Damn. Under the circumstances, this is a monumental achievement.

[MDJD11]

Columbia did say it would be a monumental album!

Mess at Beyonce selling more than Ciara in 3 hours jk but slay bey! #noshade

[Scepter]

wish she dropped the bomb on tuesday

slaying with no promo

[Yarotska]

Like, the crazy thing about her sales is not just that she got so many sales only 3 days after her albums release date, it's that they're all LIVE SALES. No preorders to fall back on. That's insane.
