Lady Gaga may have managed to top Rolling Stone’s list of female artists, but international Pop icon and business woman Beyonce is set to reign where it matters … at the top of the Billboard charts!
Queen King Bey’s fourth studio album “4” is set to debut at the #1 spot next week and sit comfortably on the Billboard 100 Chart.
Billboard reports:
Beyonce’s fourth studio album, “4,” is headed for a No. 1 debut next week on the Billboard 200 chart with maybe 300,000 copies sold by week’s send on Sunday, July 3, according to industry prognosticators. If it starts at the top, it will be her fourth No. 1 solo album — her three previous studio sets all hit No. 1 as well.
A 300,000 launch is off from the 482,000 (according to Nielsen SoundScan) that greeted her last effort, 2008’s “I Am… Sasha Fierce” and the 541,000-first week for 2006’s “B’Day.” Still, 300,000 could be viewed as a handsome bow in today’s soft album-sales market and considering the set has yet to launch an across-the-board smash single.
Beyonce is definitely running the world!
