Beyonce Release the Self Titled Visual Album in a Minimum of Fanfare

Beyonce Stuns With New Album
After the stunningly beautiful Beyonce Knowles Carter released her album via a stealth tweet two weeks ago, she has set the world on fire racking up sales online at a rapid rate. T The new styled album is visual which includes videos which fans can watch free movie online as well as a full album track. The album was exclusively available through iTunes for the first week of release.


 A move which has caused the ire of both Target and Amazon.com , major retailers in the music industry.  Regardless of those retailer boycotts of her album, it has managed to stay at the top of the charts for two full weeks, and now has hit over 1 million sales, as people rush to purchase the album online to watch the great videos that accompany the audio tracks.  The mood of the album is very personal, as Queen Bey takes us on a personal journey into her private life with Jay-Z as well as her daughter Blue Ivy.


Beyonce’s visual album is also among the most pirated item online this week. With an estimated 240,000 downloads the album has the dubious distinction of being the most downloaded and copied album of the week.  Studio and Music executives are unsure if those illegal downloads would have turned into actual purchased, because those that download pirated materials are not always likely to have purchased the album legitimately. 


 Anyway the hunger to watch free movie online content has surged demand on the file sharing site Youtube, where previews of the videos were initially released before the full videos were uploaded to other sites including Dailymotion, and Vevo. As time moves along, each of the individual tracks will be available for download from iTunes, which during the exclusive deal only allowed purchase of the entire album with a listed price of 15.99.
