Beyonce expected to top Billboard album charts with Renaissance

Beyonce is expected to top the Billboard 200 albums chart thanks to her new album "Renaissance".

The long-awaited project earned one of the biggest opening weeks of the year and is the first album recorded by a woman in 2022 to land at No. 1.

The 16-track album, which was released on July 29, earned over 275,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in its opening four days.

Renaissance has blasted to No. 1 in Australia, and is her seventh Top 10 appearance, and third following her 2014 self-titled debut effort, and 2016's Lemonade.
