Beyonce Releases New Secret Album

Beyonce, a popular hip hop music artist kept her new album a secret until the day she let it out.  Only a select few knew about the album which was kept a complete secret from all of her fans.  The album has 14 songs and 17 music videos all completely new and never before seen.  There has already been over 400,000 copies of the album sold just a day after the release.
Beyonce is an extremely popular not only for being a great music artist but also for being a positive role model for everyone, unlike a many other celebrities.  Beyonce has several charities in which she donates hundreds of thousands of dollars of her great fortune too.  This is the very first time that Beyonce has released an album without anyone knowing and it’s getting a lot of attention.  The idea of this is very intelligent for several reasons. First, Christmas is right around the corner and people are still out doing last minute shopping for loved ones.  Therefore the album will be the perfect gift for Christmas for many people because Beyonce is such a popular music artist and is widely known.  Secondly because it doesn’t have any suspense for her fans that would patiently be waiting for her music to come out.  Instead when she released her secret album all of her fans get really excited and go out and buy it and that is exactly why so many copies have sold already.
The billboard said that her album is so popular already that it will likely reach the number one spot by next week.  The album was even stirring up a lot of commotion on social media websites like twitter and face book.  It was a trending topic on twitter throughout most of the day on Sunday.  There were 1.2 million tweets about the album in just 12 hours which is 100,000 tweets an hour.  The album also was the most talked about thing on twitter since July when the movie “Sharnado” movie came out.
Just after the album came out, 2 of Beyonces songs ranked number one and two on the itunes charts.  The album isnt quite at the number one spot yet but it is getting there and will be soon.  Many other artist have done something like this also.  In 2011, lady gaga release her album born this way for just 99 cents on Amazon for 2 days.
