While we’re unpacking this, the transition from THIQUE to AUIYM is the part that the m*lly really starts hitting

Beyoncé’s first new studio album in more than six years, Renaissance makes its anticipated debut atop the chart, with first week consumption of 31,064 units – more than the rest of the top five combined – made up of 5,122 CDs, 2,772 vinyl albums, 3,356 digital downloads and 19,814 sales-equivalent streams.

Bringing to an end a run of 10 consecutive weeks when the chart was ruled by British males, Renaissance is the 40-year-old American’s seventh solo studio album, and the follow-up to 2016’s Lemonade, which stormed to the summit on sales of 73,392 copies on debut - quite an achievement since it dropped without notice on the second day of the trading week (Saturday), without physical formats, without a prior charting single and in the immediate wake of Prince’s death, which saw him posthumously occupy the No.2, No.3 and No.4 slots behind her. Renaissance, on the other hand, was announced in June, has been represented on the singles chart by "Break My Soul" for the last seven weeks, and has been released on vinyl and CD – with no fewer than 32 variations of the box set version of the latter attracting sales, according to OCC data – so the fact its introductory frame is 57.67% below that of Lemonade is a little disappointing.

Renaissance is Beyoncé’s fourth No.1 solo album, following Dangerously In Love, which sold 113,117 as it opened atop the list in 2003; 4, which sold 89,211 copies when it debuted at No.1 in 2011; and the aforementioned Lemonade. She also reached No.1 as a member of Destiny's Child, whose third of five studio albums Survivor scorched to pole position on sales of 117,967 in 2001. Beyoncé’s biggest-selling album is her third studio set, I Am…Sasha Fierce, which sold 38,010 copies debuting at No.10 in November 2008, had its highest sale of 102,536 copies four weeks later when ranking No.24 in the Christmas chart, and eventually peaked at No.2 on its 39th week in the chart. Home to four Top 10 singles, its consumption to date is 1,836,494 units. Dangerously in Love has sold 1,312,386 copies; 4 has sold 862,600; 2013’s eponymous Beyoncé, which reached No.2, has sold 736,678 copies; Lemonade has sold 515,835 copies and B'Day has sold 755,148 copies, split between the original No.3 2006 album (483,108 sales), and a 2007 revamp, which was different enough to be charted separately, reaching No.8 and selling 272,040 copies.

Beyoncé also had two million selling albums with Destiny’s Child, 2001 chart-topper Survivor – their third album - selling 1,130,983 copies, just ahead of their second album, 1999’s The Writing’s On The Wall, which only peaked at No.10 but has sold 1,120,878 copies.

31,064 in the UK!

If you can’t tell my absolute fave track is AS! It’s hard for me to pick a top 5 outside of that because it keeps changing.

 

Right now I’m obsessed with Heated, AHAP,  and Move! Two days ago it was cuff it, Thique, pure/honey! Last week it was energy, BMS, Virgos Groove, SR, and Energy.

Ecstasy is tragically the last main psychedelic girl I have to try, but it was presupposed that that was one of the goodies

The European GP saying YES to the album.

I commend anyone who has a consistent top three on this album.. I can't do it, as it's always changing  Renaissance is that GOOD. Anywho, today's tracks that have been stuck in my head consist of PURE/HONEY (which I really like as I never skip it) and Alien Superstar (one of my favorites)..

Dead at spaceship noises  the range she showed with the sub-genres of dance music and other genres is a feat that many aren't able to successfully do!

I'm happy we can relate, the indecisive album favorites lifestyle  Alien Superstar is fantastic..

Points were made... I will either do this with my bestie or by myself when I have a dorm with a private bathroom this fall. My hifi audio setup will be booked and busy, and God rest my soul if we have visuals by that point.

WIG OFF THE HEAD is kinda creeping into my top 3.......

[rivers]

The way this album grew on me so much including Break My Soul. Beyoncé won again, I can’t stand it

Okay, after spending a week with the album....

 

She did the sh*t outta this entire project. I'm grateful. As much shadeee as I threw her back in my stanning haydays -- she shut my old gay ass up. 

 

Top 5:

 

1. Alien Superstar (Such a dynamic track, never expected a chorus like that from her. Those harmonies at the end...babyyyy)

2. Heated (A bop, but that vogue breakdown at the end with the fan --- B*TCH!! ...and the line "Only the radio can play me" -- B*TCH!!)

3. Cuff It (This is what I expected the album to be more of, and I'm glad it's not, but she's right in her zone with this one)

4. America Has A Problem (Once again, never expected something like this from her)

5. Church Girl (I see this getting swapped out with a different track in the future but for now this is the most immediate for me).

 

Only "filler" tracks for me are THIQUE and ENERGY...but it's such a strong album, it's no shade to those songs.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… Cuff It is pure JOY 

 

I have so much fun singing along
