NEW RELEASES: RETURN OF THE QUEEN (UPDATE)

Beyoncé’s RENAISSANCE (Parkwood/Columbia) will easily debut at #1, with a projected total of 275-315k based on first-day sales and streams. Queen Bey's first solo set since 2016, it's poised to collect more than 170m plays in the U.S., outperforming early expectations. Those streams are spread across the album as fans consume RENAISSANCE in its entirety.

Spotify has announced that on 7/29, RENAISSANCE became 2022's most-streamed album in a single day by a female artist.

We bend the knee.
