Who the f*ck do you think she is?
Beyonce surprise-dropped her 6th studio album, Lemonade, over the weekend, and as expected, it is literally the talk of the town. Everybody from Monica Lewinsky to Mya and every A or B-list celebrity in between–not to mention social media–has caught Beyonce fever, and for good reason. Bey’s latest opus, an exciting, provocative, at times strenuous tale of love, insecurity, infidelity and emotional independence is chock full of some of Beyonce’s best music, featuring rocker Jack White, The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar.
Furthermore, as is tradition with Beyonce, Lemonade will debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 with sales of roughly 500,000-600,000 units moved, despite the album only being available on Tidal for the first 36 hours of its release. When she accomplishes this feat when the official numbers are released at the top of the week, Beyonce will be the first artists in chart history to have her first six albums debut atop the Billboard 200 (she’ll also be the first artist to have her first six albums reach the #1 spot in any capacity, be it during debut week or not).
In other Lemonade news, the entire album is getting serviced to radio on the same day, so, who knows. We could be seeing a #1 on another chart, the Billboard Hot 100, in the near future.
