It was initially reported that
Beyoncé's self-titled new album would reclaim it's #1 position on the Billboard 200. Well
Frozen unwittingly put her on ice for the second week in a row. The soundtrack pulled in 5,000 to 10,000 more than expected (86,000 copies overall), while
'Beyoncé' reportedly sold 79,000 copies in its fifth week. This marks a 40% decline from the 130,000 copies sold a week ago.
The album has already sold 1.5 million in five weeks (Stateside), surpassing the sales of her last album
'4' (1.39 million sold since its 2011 release). In related news, Beyoncé's new single
‘Drunk In Love’ rises to #10 in the UK making it her 16th top ten hit in that territory. Wanna know what would be nice though? A
Grammy Awards or
Brit Awards performance.
