Beyus continues to making it rain on the charts… Beyonce Breaks Record With New Album Who releases an album at midnight with no promotion? Beyonce does beyotch. According to ABC News: Apple usually brags about its iPhone and iPad sales, but today the company is bragging about its “Beyonce” sales. Beyonce’s self-titled album released last Friday, Dec. 13, has become the fastest selling album ever on iTunes, the company announced this morning. In just three days it has been downloaded 828,773 times from the digital music service. It also broke the U.S. first week album sales record — previously held by Taylor Swift — with 617,213 sold. Of course, the fact that the album was available exclusively through iTunes and not via any other digital music service helped push along the sales. Additionally, fans couldn’t buy single songs for the usual 99 cent price; instead they were forced to buy the whole album for $15.99. The album, however, included more than just 14 songs. It also came with 17 videos. Going into the holiday season, the sales of “Beyonce” on iTunes should only rise, but Apple’s exclusive deal with the Grammy-winning singer will end soon. A double disc CD/DVD will be available at retail stores in time for the holidays, her record label said. It’s a good thing Bey’s album didn’t come out around Black Friday. Could you imagine how many people would have gotten trampled by the BeyHive trying to get the last copy of her new album?
