Pop superstar Beyoncé’s 6th album is expected to debut at number 1 on the USA chart despite being available only for download and through one streaming service, Billboard said Wednesday.

When life gives her lemons, Beyoncé makes lemonade – and capitalizes with t-shirts blasting her critics. One throughline of the singer’s self-titled album was her eager determination to preserve a sense of sexual adventure in her marriage; “Drunk in Love”, a hit duet with Jay Z, had the couple celebrating their “beautiful bodies grinding up in that club”.
Her last album, which was self-titled, was released in late 2013 without warning on iTunes and with no immediate physical copy – a move that outraged brick-and-mortar retailers but which has become increasingly common for stars.
Her opening anthems were fueled by red lights and hot fireballs shooting into the night sky to punctuate her rage – and the angrier she got, the more excited the crowd grew. I would advise you to open your eyes and ears because Bey is talking about embracing culture and some of the issues being faced by Black America. I’m proud of her for standing up to the man who disrespected her and made her feel any less than the Queen.
Either way, she is in control.
Police unions urged officers not to volunteer or work at her shows and criticized what they called her “anti-police” messages.
Beyonce has taken aim at critics threatening to boycott her new tour by selling “Boycott Beyonce” merchandise at her shows.
“She’s flawless”, DeOilivera said. Her commanding performance of “Freedom” served as reminder to the world that she “breaks chains all by myself”. In fact, she falls into the category of public figures that are instantly recognizable around the world at the mention of just a first name: Beyoncé.

“I want to dedicate this song to my attractive husband”, she said, “I love you so much”.
