Beyonce Earns Sixth No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With 'Lemonade' (http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7350372/beyonce-earns-sixth-no-1-album-on-billboard-200-chart-with-lemonade)

Beyonce?s Lemonade album charges in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, giving the superstar her sixth chart-topper. The set earned 653,000 equivalent album units in the week ending April 28, according to Nielsen Music. Pure album sales comprised 485,000 of that sum. (Lemonade's total unit figure was updated in this story at 12:29 p.m. PT.)
Lemonade was introduced on April 23 through its same-titled film, which was soundtracked by the album?s songs, and premiered on HBO. The 12-song visual album was released by Parkwood/Columbia Records following the film?s debut, initially exclusively through Tidal. By Monday, April 25, the album -- which is bundled with the film -- went on sale through other digital retailers, but Tidal remains the only service with streaming rights to the set. A physical version of the album will be released on May 6.
Lemonade scores the biggest week of any album in 2016, both in terms of overall units and in sales.
All six of Beyonce?s studio albums have debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lemonade follows her self-titled album in 2013, 4 (2011), I Am? Sasha Fierce (2008), B?Day (2006) and Dangerously In Love (2003). Beyonce is the only act to reach No. 1 with their first six studio efforts (and the only act to debut atop the list with their first six).
Elsewhere in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200 chart, Prince rules with five titles -- all in the top seven of the list -- following the first full week of chart activity following his death on April 21.
His The Very Best of Prince greatest hits collection is pushed down one spot to No. 2 with 391,000 units (though it gains by 118 percent) and 216,000 copies sold (up 116 percent).
The Purple Rain soundtrack is also forced backwards, despite a gain, as it moves 2-3 with 150,000 units (up 117 percent) and 133,000 copies sold (up 113 percent). Two more of Prince?s greatest hits albums rank in the top 10: The Hits/The B-Sides, hits a new peak, as it climbs 6-4 with 106,000 units (up 159 percent) and 56,000 in sales (up 134 percent), while Ultimate also zooms to a new peak, 61-6, with 40,000 units (up 319 percent) and 37,000 in sales (up 317 percent).
With Ultimate?s rise into the top 10 for the first time, it marks Prince?s 19th top 10 album.
she really is a living legend
Just can't be denied
congrats, the album is amazing. Imma buy it whenever the physical comes out
Billboard didn't count her Tidal purchases or streams.

I don't think Tidal submitted her mess.
Then how did HDD get such a high SPS?
Even her pure sales are off. HDD had her at over 500k in pure sales.
Its not like there were that many retailers to report for their numbers to be THAT off.
This is still a slay
I just hope this her last Tidal mess.

But his first EP debuted at #6
I doubt it. He only has 4 studio albums.

DDD I remember that. Prior to the last-minute rule change, albums sold exclusively to one retailer were ineligible to chart. But the #1 clocked in with over 700K and Britney did 290K

ddddddddsf
all that damn wasted promo and she hasn't even sold over 200k. WTF.
She'll be dropped soon.
Keep slaying Bey, no samsung required!
It's crazy when you compare her to someone else like say Rihanna. You would THINK Rihanna was a big name with her singles performing well (usually). But with a number one song for 9 weeks, 5 singles, and a year of Promo to only push less than 400k units.
And in comes Beyonc?, outselling her in 2 days in Rihanna's 2 months. She is such a damn superstar but WELL deserved success. You don't see that often.
Rihanna's stats besides singles... Are pretty fucking average and below lol
Beyonce is slayage across the board
They clearly arent in the same boat. Beyonce is a fucking empire.

Rihanna has never been the huge Alber artist you guys are trying to make her out as. In the US, her albums have always sold decently, Beyonce's been a bigger albums artist here.
& What 5 singles? What year of promo? None of the singles have received a performance in the US.

I'm sorry. SIX singles:
4,5 Seconds of success
Bitch Better Have a Better Single
Contaminated Oxygen
They flopped so they didn't put on the album. The album STILL was promoted for a year.

Especially considering the fact certifications aren't even based on sales and labels can buy a plaque at any time as long as they pay a couple hundred dollars.
