Beyoncé made a bold statement last Friday by releasing an album without any promo, leaks, or anything else. At midnight via iTunes Beyoncé released the self titled album, Beyoncé , for the world. According to The Huffington Post, Beyoncé's album sold 828,773 copies over the weekend alone. Not only did her album do chart breaking numbers, but Beyoncé went No. 1 in 104 countries. According to Mediabase weekly top 200 chart ending Saturday December 14th, Beyoncé's single Drunk In Love hit as number 51.
Even though numbers do not lie, backlash has also came along with Beyoncé's album. Critics gave her back lash claiming her lyrics and videos were too raunchy and riskay. What are your thoughts? Do you agree?
