Beyoncé’s surprise visual album, Beyoncé, has become the fastest album to sell 1 million downloads in US digital history — selling over 1 million copies in just 4 weeks.
This means that Bey’s album has already sold her previous effort, ‘4’.
According to Billboard:
“Beyonce” sold 130,000 copies in the week ending January 5, 2014, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That brings its cumulative sales sum up to 1.43 million — hopping over the total of “4,” which stands at 1.39 million.
