Beyonce's Label: "We're Gonna Work '4' For The Next 18 MonthsBeyonce’s label Columbia Records have calmed stan concerns that the DIVA has slacked off on her promotional duties, confirming that they’re planning to work Bey’s new album '4' for the next 18-months. Just like all of Beyonce’s previous efforts, '4' will be flogged to death with endless music video releases and a massive global touring schedule in an effort to sustain sales over the long-term. “The main concentration for the next few months is to get this record working everywhere,” Stringer says. “She’s well versed in being a global artists. The touring plan is extensive. The promo plan is extensive. We also know we’re going to put out a lot of singles and…shoot a lot of videos from the record."

Beyonce Breaks New Glastonbury Festival Record With Beyonce's new album set to top charts all around the world this coming week, the DIVA has further cause to celebrate now that she has broken another record. This time, at the Glastonbury Festival, where she performed at last week. In a survey carried out by Digital Spy, the entertainer was named Glastonbury’s favorite act by the festival’s viewers. Making her the only female artist in the history of the event to achieve this feat adding to the record she holds for being the first female artist to headline the world renowned festival. Nabbing a commendable 43.6% of the vote, the "Single Ladies" performer beat rock legends ColdPlay and U2 to the top post. Source

The alternate version is cool. I love the badass side of it. Hope they will "work" another version of the album with more new songs cause 3 = poor (like B' day deluxe).... Can't wait for a world tour...

Beyonce's '4' Debuts Atop U.K. Album Chart Yesterday's new U.K. sales charts from the Official Charts Company revealed a week of triumph for Beyoncé, in the wake of her headlining appearance at the Glastonbury Festival June 26. "4" sold 89,000 units to become her second No. 1 album in the territory, as "Best Thing I Never Had" debuted at No. 3 in the singles list, one of six tracks for her in the top 75. Beyoncé previously topped the U.K. album chart with her solo debut "Dangerously In Love" in 2003, but fell short with "B'Day" (No. 3 in 2006), and "I Am...Sasha Fierce" (No. 2 in 2009). On the singles top 75, "Run The World (Girls)" climbed 39-23, "Irreplaceable" re-entered at No. 33, "Halo" at No. 60 and "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" at No. 72. "End of Time" debuted at No. 62.

Beyonce Makes Musical Fireworks On 4th of July Celebration! In New York, Beyoncé took the stage at Liberty Island, with Lady Liberty right behind her shoulder. Fittingly, she performed "God Bless The USA" as some of our troops sang along. Bey also performed new single "Best Thing I Never Had" from her new album '4.' More after the jump!

Beyonce's '4' Set For No. 1 Debut On Billboard With Sales Of... 313,420 units in this chart week alone making it the Beyonce's lowest selling first week figure to date. Set to be this week's Billboard 200 No.1, the album received an enormous promotional push in the U.S. this week after the airing of the documentary "Year Of 4" and show stopping performances at the Glastonbury Festival, "Good Morning America"and last night at the Statue Of Liberty for the 4th Of July celebrations. With the final sales number set to surface tomorrow, the figure is sure to be very close in appearance to the figure published by Hits Daily Double. Whilst 313,000 units may not sound as high as you would expect, it was achieved after only two weeks of promotion, without the aid of a No.1 single and discounted prices. Source

Beyonce Notches 4th Billboard 200 No. 1 With '4' As expected, Beyonce's fourth solo studio album, "4," bounds in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, selling 310,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan. It's the DIVA's fourth solo No. 1 and fourth studio set to top the list. She's only the third act and second woman to see their first four studio albums debut atop the Billboard 200. Britney Spears did it with her first four between 1999 and 2003. "4's" sales launch is lowest of her four releases: 2008's "I Am ... Sasha Fierce" entered with 482,000; 2006's "B'Day" bowed with 541,000 and 2003's "Dangerously In Love" started with 317,000. Still, "4's" bow is pretty big for 2011. It marks the third-largest sales week of the year, after the No. 1 bows of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" (1.1 million) and Adele's "21" (351,000).

Beyonce's '4' Set For 2 Weeks At No. 1 It looks like Beyonce's "4" album is going to hold at No. 1 for a second week on the Billboard 200, as a serious lack of high-powered new releases won't post a threat to the DIVA's station atop the list. The biggest new album that dropped yesterday (July 5) was Lloyd's "King of Hearts" set, which, according to industry prognosticators, may sell around 20,000 copies by week's end on Sunday, July 10. That figure might garner it a debut somewhere in the top 15. Beyonce's "4" bowed at No. 1 this past week with 310,000 according to Nielsen SoundScan, marking the leading lady's fourth solo No. 1 album. Source

310,000 is not great to B's standards.
