Ever since it was announced last June, Beyonce's "Rennaisance" has been making buzz on social media non-stop.
The Beyhive has been relentless in hyping the much-awaited comeback album of Beyonce, even a leak did not stop them.
With the final tally clocking in on Sunday, initial Billboard data says that Beyonce's "Rennaisance" might be the biggest album to debut this year so far.
Beyonce 'Rennaisance' The Biggest Album This Year?
"Rennaisance," Beyonce's seventh solo studio album, is projected to debut at the top of the Billboard 200 charts this year - eventually kicking off Bad Bunny's "Un Verano Sin Ti" from the summit.
Luminate reports that on the first four days when "Rennaisance" was released, it tallied over 275,000, almost a thousand more than Bad Bunny's "Un Verano Sin Ti's" debut sales.
Making most of that four-day sales sum are album sales which tallied around 175,000. Streaming activity powered the remaining units.
Debuting only last Jul. 29, 2022, "Rennaisance" will complete its week-long activity tracking today for the Aug. 4 charts. Official news of her debut will be released on Sunday, Aug. 7, 2022.
Variety reports that on its debut day, the album" has recorded more than 50.6 million on-demand official streams in the United States. The proceeding two days were bigger as it had amassed a total of 52.6 million hits.
According to Hits Daily Double, "Rennaisance" has already opened at 325,000 mid-week, which would put it in the second spot on the biggest openers for all albums this year.
Kendrick Lamar's "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers" has only opened to 295,000 while BTS' "Proof" had 314,000, so with Bey's numbers - she could land in the second spot.
But if Beyonce would want to set a higher record, she has to beat Harry Styles' "Harry's House."
Beyonce vs Harry Styles: Who's Album Would Debut Bigger?
"Harry's House" debut on the Billboard 200 charts has been enormous as it has tallied over 521,000 equivalent album units - making it the biggest opening weekend for any album this 2022.
To secure a record-breaking debut, Beyonce has to go over 525,000 units or even replicate "Lemonade's" opening weekend at 653,000. Adele in 2021 with her "30," has debuted at 839,000.
But whether she could beat Harry Styles or not, "Rennaisance" would still hold the record for the biggest opening record made by a female artist this 2022 so far.
"Rennaisance" is available for streaming on Spotify.
