Beyonce shared a short video from the release party for "BEYONCÉ," where she talks about the inspiration for the album. The video can be found on the Platinum Edition Box Set!

Following a deluxe reissue of Beyonce's self-titled 2013 album, its sales soar by 713 percent to 22,000 in the week ending Nov. 30, according to Nielsen Music. It vaults 18-4 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, with Greatest Gainer honors. It's right behind Beyonce's new Beyonce (More Only) EP, which contains just the new bonus material from the deluxe album. Only opens at No. 3 with 43,000 and also tops R&B Albums. The action surrounding the new releases helps to propel the singer 31-6 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart.

Of the new Beyonce bonus tracks, "7/11" earns the highest debut on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, starting at No. 3 (her second-best entrance ever, trailing only "Drunk in Love," which bowed at No. 2 in January). Shifting 85,000 downloads in its first week, the track shoots straight to No. 1 on R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs, where it's her first No. 1.

The start of "7/11" was also powered by its video, which caught fire with viewers on YouTube following its premiere on Nov. 21. A stark contrast to the slick production of the clips from Beyonce, the irrefutably fun, and seemingly homemade, video for "7/11" has amassed 39 million global views (as of Dec. 4).

Beyonce debuts three other songs on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs from the reissue: new track "Ring Off" enters at No. 31; "Standing on the Sun (Remix)," featuring Mr. Vegas, starts at No. 45; and original album track "Blow" begins at No. 48, aided by a new remix featuring Pharrell Williams.

Meanwhile, "***Flawless" leaps 34-12 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs with Digital Gainer honors. Of its 67,000 downloads sold, 91 percent stem from a newly-released remix featuring Nicki Minaj.

The Billboard 200, which has long been a chart that ranked the most popular albums of the week based on pure album sales, now shifts its methodology to a multi-metric consumption model. The ranking includes on-demand streaming and digital track sales, in addition to traditional album sales, all measured by Nielsen.

This is the most substantial update to the chart's methodology since May of 1991, when Billboard first used Nielsen's point-of-sale data — SoundScan — to measure album sales.

As previously reported, the new Billboard 200 chart uses accepted industry benchmarks for digital and streaming data, where 10 digital track sales from an album is equivalent to one album sale, and 1,500 song streams from an album equates to one album sale. All of the major on-demand audio subscription services are considered, including Spotify, Beats Music, Google Play and Xbox Music.

Beyonce's new Beyonce: More Only (EP) struts in at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 with 71,000 units. The digital set includes only the new bonus material (new songs, remixes and videos) that was added to the deluxe reissue of her self-titled album. The new EP sold 43,000 albums, but also garnered 25,000 in TEA and another 3,000 in SEA.

On the Top Album Sales chart, the Beyonce: More Only (EP) launches at No. 17.

The diva's self-titled album also scoots up both lists, thanks to its expanded reissue. On the Billboard 200, Beyonce rises 199-39 (25,000 units), while on the Top Album Sales chart, it vaults 199-37 (22,000 album sales; up 713 percent).

In other chart news, Beyonce's latest single "7/11" debuts on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 18.

Nicki Minaj just announced the official tracklisting for her new album "The Pinkprint," and Beyonce is featured on one of the songs called "Feeling Myself"! The album comes out on December 15, so we'll get to hear the new track in just two weeks!

The 2014 Soul Train Awards aired on BET on Sunday, and awards were handed out to the biggest stars in the music industry. Going into the ceremony, Beyoncé was nominated for six awards. Not present at the gala, she ended up winning two of them: Best R&B/Soul Female Artist and Album of the Year ("BEYONCÉ"). Congratulations!

Beyoncé wowed the world with her surprise visual album last year, but still its after effect continues to leave Queen Bey’s name on everyone’s mouths like liquor.

Last weekend, the pop trailblazer released the brilliantly-crafted DIY-styled music video for “7/11,” and this week re-upped her game-changing visual album with Beyoncé: Platinum Edition.

Packed with two new songs (“7/11,” “Ring Off”), new and unreleased remixes (“Drunk in Love,” “Blow” and “Standing in the Sun”), the BEYONCÉ repackage also comes bearing plenty of visual goodness, which director Jonas Åkerlund happens to be a part of. Providing his golden touch to videos like the gorgeously creepy “Haunted” and rebellious “Superpower,” the award-winning Swedish director has been pretty mum on his directorial work since the album arrived. Until now.

With the Platinum Edition in stores, Åkerlund details the making of the album’s standout visuals and gives an in-depth play-by-play on how certain scenes came together.

Beyonce's latest offering, 7/11, has debuted on the coveted Billboard charts.

Fresh off the release of "Beyonce" (the Platinum edition) and the release of its well received music video, "7/11" debuts at no.42 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart this week.

Also deemed the greatest gainer, the song's chart position is sure to soar on next week's tally considering the reception of the video, which has been watched by over 23 million viewers (on YouTube alone).

Last night the 2014 American Music Awards were held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. Beyonce, nominated in three categories, won two awards — Favorite Soul/R&B Female Artist and Favorite Soul/R&B Album ("BEYONCÉ")! Unfortunately, the singer didn't attend the ceremony.

The platinum edition of "BEYONCÉ" was released today! If you still haven't, buy the album on iTunes or Amazon!

Beyonce may be winding down the campaign for her blockbuster fifth album, but the singer looks set to have fans wining their waists as she does so.

Why?

Because her new song ‘7/11′ is making a beeline for radio next week.

All Access Access lists the track, which is being described as similar sounding to ‘Partition’, as due to impact Urban formats on November 25th.

The radio “add” date is just one day after the ‘Platinum Edition’ of the singer’s game-changing self-titled LP struts into stores.

As reported, ‘7/11′ serves as one of two new songs featured on the beefed-up re-release (alongside ‘Ring Off’) which will also include four remixes and ten live performances from the superstar’s top-grossing ‘Mrs. Carter Show’ tour.

Last night the full trailer for "Fifty Shades of Grey" featuring Beyonce's song "Haunted" was premiered!

The platinum edition of "BEYONCÉ" is now available for pre-order on iTunes! If you already have the regular version of the album you can buy only the "More" EP with new tracks and performances. "BEYONCÉ" will also be released as audio only.

Last night MTV Europe Music Awards were held at The SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland. Rumors of Beyonce performing at the gala turned out to be false, as the singer didn't attend the show. However, she won the award for Best Song with a Message ("Pretty Hurts"), collecting 601,104 votes from fans on Twitter. Congratulations!

"Haunted" is featured in a new teaser for "Fifty Shades Of Grey"! The full trailer will premiere on November 14.

Both the nominees and hosts were announced Wednesday for the 2015 People's Choice Awards, set to air from the Nokia Theater L.A. Live on Jan. 7 from 9 p.m. - 11 p.m. ET on CBS.
