 Beyonce’s ‘Renaissance’ Secures One of 2022’ Biggest First Weeks After Just 4 Days

Beyoncé’s Renaissance is headed for a #1 debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart with one of the biggest weeks of the year. Notably, if it opens atop the chart, it will be the first album released by a woman in 2022 to hit No. 1.

According to initial reports to Luminate, Renaissance, which was released on July 29, has earned over 275,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in its first four days (through Aug. 1). Of that sum, more than 175,000 are in album sales, with the rest mostly streaming-generated activity.

For comparison, only three albums have posted larger debut weeks in 2022 by equivalent album units – and Renaissance still has three days left of activity in the tracking week ending Aug. 4. The three biggest weeks of the year are the debut frames of Harry Styles’ Harry’s House (521,000 units), BTS’ Proof (314,000) and Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers (295,000).

Just wish she would reconsider releasing music videos for the songs. It will give the album more longevity and keep interest to it imo.

Imagine a ballroom inspired video for Alien Superstar with Bey as the announcer and having her in different outfits going off on the floor would be an iconic moment in history.

Lizzo'a album wasn't #1??? Didn't they also up their predictions to 300k?
