BMS : 42,927 units sold in the UK this week.

Also:

Renaissance also yields the week’s two highest debuting singles in the form of Cuff It (No.14, 20,011 sales) and Alien Superstar (No.16, 18,467 sales), raising Beyonce’s career tally of Top 75 singles to 76, and her Top 40 tally to 54 (both include 15 hits with Destiny’s Child). When Beyonce’s last album, Lemonade, was released, 11 of its tracks simultaneously invaded the Top 75 singles chart. With the primary artist rule, that is a feat denied to Renaissance. However, on the Top 200 Tracks chart – whose parameters mirror those in existence when Lemonade was released – 12 tracks from Renaissance are in the Top 75 this week.

Amazing! So happy for her!!

Biggest debut of 2022 by a female artist.

Lemonade opened at #9 with 4,6K downloads.
Selftitled debuted at #19 with 12K sales.

Now we will see the stability, because his last album sold only 80K units in France.

Honestly BMS is a huge smash in the UK, which is more impressive than simply getting a #1. I'm surprised at the longevity it's getting.

6 weeks inside that top 10, and it’s coming for more!

[Shayonce]

maybe they meant 32 box set sales? too small tho.. lol
but yeah. the shipping price of box set might have been big issue for international buyers.
and by the time they added uk address/shipping, box sets were sold out

UK

Beyoncé’s first new studio album in more than six years, Renaissance makes its anticipated debut atop the chart, with first week consumption of 31,064 units – more than the rest of the top five combined – made up of 5,122 CDs, 2,772 vinyl albums, 3,356 digital downloads and 19,814 sales-equivalent streams.

Bringing to an end a run of 10 consecutive weeks when the chart was ruled by British males, Renaissance is the 40-year-old American’s seventh solo studio album, and the follow-up to 2016’s Lemonade, which stormed to the summit on sales of 73,392 copies on debut - quite an achievement since it dropped without notice on the second day of the trading week (Saturday), without physical formats, without a prior charting single and in the immediate wake of Prince’s death, which saw him posthumously occupy the No.2, No.3 and No.4 slots behind her. Renaissance, on the other hand, was announced in June, has been represented on the singles chart by Break My Soul for the last seven weeks, and has been released on vinyl and CD – with no fewer than 32 variations of the box set version of the latter attracting sales, according to OCC data – so the fact its introductory frame is 57.67% below that of Lemonade is a little disappointing.

Renaissance is Beyoncé’s fourth No.1 solo album, following Dangerously In Love, which sold 113,117 as it opened atop the list in 2003; 4, which sold 89,211 copies when it debuted at No.1 in 2011; and the aforementioned Lemonade. She also reached No.1 as a member of Destiny's Child, whose third of five studio albums Survivor scorched to pole position on sales of 117,967 in 2001. Beyoncé’s biggest-selling album is her third studio set, I Am…Sasha Fierce, which sold 38,010 copies debuting at No.10 in November 2008, had its highest sale of 102,536 copies four weeks later when ranking No.24 in the Christmas chart, and eventually peaked at No.2 on its 39th week in the chart. Home to four Top 10 singles, its consumption to date is 1,836,494 units. Dangerously in Love has sold 1,312,386 copies; 4 has sold 862,600; 2013’s eponymous Beyonce, which reached No.2, has sold 736,678 copies; Lemonade has sold 515,835 copies and B’day has sold 755,148 copies, split between the original No.3 2006 album (483,108 sales), and a 2007 revamp, which was different enough to be charted separately, reaching No.8 and selling 272,040 copies.

Beyonce also had two million selling albums with Destiny’s Child, 2001 chart-topper Survivor – their third album - selling 1,130,983 copies, just ahead of their second album, 1999’s The Writing’s On The Wall, which only peaked at No.10 but has sold 1,120,878 copies.

What do they mean with 32 variations of the box set? Does she really have 32 different editions???

I don't get how they counted that lol.
There were 4 boxsets, one CD, on digital, one vinyl.

That's amazing. Her highest peaking solo single since If I Were a Boy (2008).

BREAK MY SOUL - UK Chart Run

[KEY9481]

#2 for BMS. Bittersweet but what an accomplishment!

[Beyon]

UK #2 BMS

[Omiros]

It seems unlikely that Alien Superstar will be Top 10 but hopefully Cuff It can reach Top 20.

[Goldmoney]

I’m fairly certain Break My Soul will be #2 tho. On the other hand, since a U.S. #1 is almost a foregone conclusion at this point, the last time King had a U.S. #1 and a UK #2 with the same song was with Baby Boy so it’s in good company.
