Beyonce at 2.5 Million Copies Sold of 'Beyonce' Album Worldwide

Jay Z's wife, Beyonce is having a ball on the charts. Her latest self-titled album sold 617, 213 in its first week out; that is more than double what her last album (4- 2011) sold first week when it was released 3 years ago. Thanks to the element of surprise, no leaks, and 17 whole videos, the album is still selling big numbers after more than 6 weeks in stores. Globally, the album sold 126, 000 copies this week, and is now at a global total of 2.5 million copies sold.

This numbers shouldn't be confused with what the album has sold in America; nationally, the album is at 1,572,000 copies to date. That's is still a whole lot of numbers. Her last album, 4 is still at 1,400,000 copies sold nationally since it was released in June of 2011, so this is a big improvement.
