Beyoncé‘s new album Renaissance has landed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, making her the first female artist to do so in 2022. The project earned 332,000 equivalent album units and sold 190,000 physical copies in its first week since release.
The only album to outsell Beyoncé in 2022, male or female, is Harry Styles‘ Harry’s House — which earned 521,500 total units after its release in May.
The accomplishment also means that all seven of Beyonce's solo albums have reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. She is the first female artist to have done so.
