Just few days back we brought that Beyonce featured Chimamanda Adichie in her track, Flawless, this time we are seeing another Nigerian , a New York based model, Joan Caven 17 who featured also in one of her new videos titled ‘Pretty Hurts‘.
Caven said ‘On the real, it was amazing working with this woman and her team and getting to meet her fam. Like wow‘, Beyonce is simply amazing in this new album. Beyonce broke some ground with her straight-to-iTunes surprise album, and now she is also reaping the benefits of her strategy. According to Billboard, the self-titled album “is all but guaranteed a No. 1 debut.”
On Monday, iTunes announced the album has become the fast-selling worldwide on its site “with an unprecedented 828,773 albums sold in just its first three days.” “Beyoncé,” which is the superstar’s fifth studio album, also broke iTunes’ first-week sales record in the United States, with more than 600,000 copies sold.
According to multiple industry sources, “Beyonce” sold 617,000 downloads through the close of business . The album bowed without any pre-release announcement in the iTunes Store. The 14-song set is selling for $15.99 and additionally comes with 18 videos. Fourteen of those are for each of the album’s songs.
The release may be the singer’s biggest debut to date. Her most successful first week performance so far was her second album, “B’Day,” which debuted at No. 1 with 541,000 sold in 2006, according to SoundScan.
