Yes. She didn't invent surprise albums or visual albums, but she sure brought them to the forefront of mainstream music in a creative way.

Drag him!!

To answer the question, yes at least to the current music landscape atm, she made it 'popular' even King Kanye wanted to copy her.

[Onika Maraj]

Yes.

[QueenBeyoncé]

Who else can cause this about an album?

[Aleks]

No

Talk when they do it. Til then Beyonce is the only one.

I mean, it's been a good 6 months (half a year) and ya'll are still lingering on this release. It looks like it has to me

Don't

She didn't change the game because that strategy won't work the second time around, not even for her if she does it again.

[Liamallstar]

No she just released her album in a different way to everyone else in the industry

[Lyrical.]

Those saying no with no reasoning can remain bothered. Doesn't change the facts.

BEYONCE - week 22: 18.000

not with these kind of sales for the past two months

And to answer the OP, no, she didn't change anything. Yeah the hype was great and such a smart move from her team to hide that she can't even pull off lead single release, I mean, even with hype and a Grammy performance, did Drunk in Love outsold an interlude Birthday Cake yet?

You're always in here with these weak ass receipts. The fact that she's selling anything and hasn't performed since February is impressive. Sit

That's not what you said though. You asked who could do it and still top the charts. They all have fantastic track records and therefore have a chance.

Don't change your words.

Tell that to the headlines, boo. "Pulling a Beyonce"
Who else album can make worldwide headline news?

All girls make headlines when they release their albums. A quick trip to Google would tell you that, it's not rocket science; if you want specific headlines about REAL impact then Madonna has done it multiple times and lately Adele, oh and...

Beyoncé didn’t invent the “no-press” strategy and to give her credit for it completely ignores the entire musical context of her act. Beyonce wasn’t the first to release a surprise album; she wasn’t even the first person to do so in 2013. Last January, David Bowie celebrated his birthday by giving his fans the best possible present: His first album in a decade, The Next Day. x x

We are still talking about it after several months.

I'd say the answer is yes.

We are still talking about Bionic 4 years later and Britney Jean, after almost the same amount of time as BEYONCÉ.
So, that's how logical your statement is.
