That's right!

 

Now, if only they can get Break My Soul to #1 as well.....

 

[Bears01]

The way she just always WINS is so astonishing so many artists pray they could have her career. A true icon

[Lovett]

Well deserved! She remains huge here.

Buzzjack has the initial numbers around 13k so we're seeing 30k-35k for the whole week? That's kinda low tbh.

[Green]

They need to buy BMS too please

I thought 13k was without streams

 

Edit - Guess it does. Welp. They could maybe allow the top songs to count for the albums. The rule is stupid anyway

Yeah, I think the lack of access to physicals here is going to hurt her first week. It should serve longevity here though.

Outselling the rest of the Top 5 combined? To be expected from a local legend!

Unlike ST/Lem which openned to 60-80k, she has a hit this era. So hopefully it has more longevity then those albums did.

Those numbers are kinda tragic for Bey, not having a proper wide distribution of physicals now that digital sales are completely dead (they carried self titled and Lemonade as they had no CD for a bit) truly was a low blow   at least she has a smash and will have longevity.

[Frozen99]

 

the fact she's selling top 5 combined but the numbers... 

[Doogle]

The numbers   Are the CDs not available?

 

Still at least she’s #1. Self titled got so screwed over

Agh, I would've thought there would've been proper distribution of physical copies in the UK? I know in the states it has been (via Amazon, her site, physical retailers). That was disappointing to be aware of...

 may the physicals get properly distributed in weeks to some.. she's such a good physical seller so this will hurt for sure. 

[State of Grace.]

The numbers are kind of bad yeah tbh. I thought it was for sure doing +50k.

 

Guess it will serve cute longevity there though.
