Though her newest album had mixed reviews, there’s no surprise here. Beyonce’s most recent album, “4”, sits at the top of the Billboard 200. This is her fourth solo album and her fourth project to top the charts. In its first week, the album sold just over 313,400 copies.

As impressive as the sales are, the numbers fall short of all of her previous solo albums. “Run The World (Girls)” is partly to blame for the numbers, which only reached No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was the first time the first single did not reach the top 10.

Nevertheless, “4” still has the third largest sales week of the year behind Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” and Adele’s “21”.
