Beyonce’s seventh album, 'Renaissance', has ushered in a great start as it topped the Billboard 200 chart not only in the US, but the singer’s new album is also ruling the official UK&nbsp;albums chart. Beyonce’s latest album has become her fourth solo No. 1 on the UK Chart and her first since ‘Lemonade’ outperformed its competitors in 2016.

All seven of the artist's albums have reached their top spots, but her latest release, 'Renaissance', is especially noteworthy because it has already surpassed all of Beyonce's previous albums' track records in every key market. Along with leading the US and UK charts, the album has debuted at the top of the charts in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Canada.

Previously, Beyonce had held the top spot in the national album survey with her songs such as 'Dangerously in Love'&nbsp;from 2003, '4'&nbsp;from 2011 and 'Lemonade', and as a member of 'Destiny’s Child with Survivor'&nbsp;in 2001. 'Renaissance', in Australia and the US, has sold 332,000 equivalent album units in one week. This is the biggest week of the year for any record released by a single female artist.

In the meantime, American singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers debuted in the top 10 of the Official Albums Chart at number six with her second studio album ‘Surrender’ (Polydor). Another new entry this week is Orbital’s '30 Something’ (London Music Stream), which peaked at No. 19 and is Orbital's first Top 40 success.

Additionally, 'Renaissance'&nbsp;has also surpassed her previous 2016 album, 'Lemonade,' by one spot and debuted at number two in Germany. The only difference between the positions of 'Lemonade' and 'Renaissance' was found in Switzerland, where 'Lemonade' peaked at Number Three and 'Renaissance' debuted at Number Three. There was only a slight decline in sales between the two singles.

In relation to traditional album sales, 'Renaissance'&nbsp;moved a total of 190,000 copies in terms of traditional album sales, including 121,000 of those sales were for CDs, while 26,000 were for vinyl copies and 43,000 were for digital downloads. Traditional album sales include full-album purchases across both physical and digital platforms.

Beyoncé's success on the charts extends beyond the top 200 albums as the first female artist to ever have 12 or more songs on the chart at once. Beyonce broke a milestone in 2016 when every song from her sixth studio album, 'Lemonade', reached the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Throughout her solo career, seven of her songs have reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, while 20 of her songs have peaked in the top 10.

'Renaissance' was billed as "Act 1" of the "three-act project" when it was released on July 29th, this year. Beyonce, ahead of the release of her new song, wrote on her website, "My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgement. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking."

The first single from the album was launched in June, ‘Break My Soul’.

Beyonce's 'Renaissance' tops 2022 UK charts, shatters all her previous track records

This weekend, Beyonce rekindled nostalgia for her fans by releasing a brand new remix of 'Break My Soul,' which features an interpolation of Madonna's 1990 hit single 'Vogue.' However, it appears that Madonna did not record anything new for the remix beyond (possibly) a few spoken words, but rather had snippets of previously released, decades-old songs, particularly 'Vogue', Variety reported.

'Break My Soul' (The Queens Remix) is currently only available on Beyonce's online store for USD 1.29. The song will land in fans' emails upon purchase.

There is no current indication of whether the remix will hit streaming services. This marks the first official collaboration between the two queens of pop. Beyoncé referred to iconic black women in music, from Aaliyah to Nina Simone to her sister, Solange Knowles, emulating Madonna's classic 'Vogue' spoken-word section.

Of course, Beyonce also shouts out Madonna, who doesn't seem to appear on the track other than in the form of a `Vogue` sample. "Queen Mother Madonna, Aaliyah, Rosetta Tharpe, Santigold, Bessie Smith, Nina Simone, Betty Davis, Solange Knowles," Beyonce sings. "Lauryn Hill, Roberta Flack, Toni, Janet, Tierra Whack. Missy, Diana, Grace Jones, Aretha, Anita, Grace Jones."

Meanwhile, Madonna is all set to team up with rising rapper and internet phenomenon Saucy Santana for the remix of his 2020 viral hit 'Material Girl', now retitled 'Material Gworrllllllll!'. According to Variety, Madonna first teased the collaboration on her Instagram account on August 4, sharing a snippet of the feisty chorus. The release comes after the unlikely duo joined forces at New York City Pride in June.

Madonna, who still very much has her finger on the pulse of pop culture, invited Santana to share the Terminal 5 stage for a mash-up of 'Material Girl' with her similarly-titled 1984 hit. It was an experience that left a lasting impression on the rapper. "I wish that I can have this moment for LIFE," he wrote on Instagram, before profusely thanking the pop icon.

It's another step forward for Santana, who began her career as a makeup artist for 'City Girls' before branching out into rap with a string of viral hits. His version of 'Material Girl' has already amassed more than 40 million streams on Spotify, reported Variety.

Beyonce has yet again made changes to her latest album ‘Renaissance’. She has removed a part of Kelis 2003 hit song 'Milkshake' at the end of the original version of ‘Energy’ for her new album. This comes days after she removed a racial slur from another song from the album. The song was slated for release on July 29 and before the release of the song, Kelis expressed her displeasure about not being approached and termed the usage as "theft".&nbsp;

The sampled beat no longer appears on Queen Bey’s 'Renaissance' album on streaming services, and Kelis’ name has also been wiped from the credits list.

Beyonce has been quick to remove the controversial sample from streaming services like Tidal and Apple Music. Kelis's name has also been removed from the list of credits.

Kelis recently made a statement saying the music industry has "no soul or integrity" left. Her Instagram account left a comment on a fan's post saying, "My mind is blown too because the level of disrespect and utter ignorance of all 3 parties involved is astounding."

Beyonce swiftly removes Kelis' sample from her new song 'Energy'

American singer-songwriter Beyonce’s full ‘Renaissance’ album has apparently leaked almost 36 hours before its scheduled release at midnight E.T. on Thursday. According to Variety, high-quality FLAC files of the album were found by the outlet online and also the social media was filled with comments on the leak. Some posts showed CD copies of the album for sale, apparently in Europe. This leak comes as a shock, as Beyonce is known to keep everything very close to the vest.&nbsp;

For example, she surprisingly dropped her self-titled album in 2013. She revealed the tracklist for her forthcoming seventh album, 'Renaissance,'&nbsp;last week. The tracklist, which was posted on her Instagram story, included several intriguing titles like ‘America Has a Problem’, ‘Alien Superstar’, ‘Church Girl’, ‘Cuff It’, ‘Thique’, ‘All Up in Your Mind', and more, along with the single, ‘Break My Soul’, which she dropped last month.

Earlier this month, Beyonce shared the album's cover artwork, which sees her posing regally atop the silhouette of a luminous horse. In a note accompanying the artwork, she wrote, "Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world. It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving."

"My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, and feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration. I hope you find joy in this music. I hope it inspires you to release the wiggle. Ha! And to feel as unique, strong, and sexy as you are," added Beyonce, as per Variety.

Beyonce has released four albums since 2016’s ‘Lemonade’. In 2018, she dropped ‘Everything Is Love’; in April of 2019, she put out ‘Homecoming’, and that summer she followed with ‘The Lion King: The Gift’.&nbsp;
