==================
As expected, Beyonce’s new visual album “Lemonade” made its iTunes debut early Monday morning.
It, predictably, flew to #1 on the US album sales chart, dethroning the late Prince’s “The Very Best Of Prince” in the process.
Numerous tracks, meanwhile, have soared up the single sales chart.
“Formation,” the one track with which music fans were familiar prior to Saturday’s HBO special, is leading the way. As of 10:40AM ET, it is #4 on the all-genre US sales chart.
“Sorry,” which features the already infamous “Becky With The Good Hair” line, is next up at #12. “Hold Up,” which contains an interpolation of Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Maps,” follows at #13.
Here is how the full track list is presently positioned:
4) Formation
12) Sorry
13) Hold Up
17) 6 Inch (featuring The Weeknd)
22) Freedom (featuring Kendrick Lamar)
24) Don’t Hurt Yourself (featuring Jack White)
28) All Night
32) Pray You Catch Me
38) Sandcastles
40) Daddy Lessons
