Beyoncé’s reign at the top continues. The superstar songstress had the world in her palms last weekend, dropping her surprise visual album LEMONADE during an HBO special. The 34-year-old’s new full-length release has been enjoyed by many, and now it’s officially the No. 1 album in the country.

LEMONADE takes the spot on the Billboard 200 album charts, earning 653,000 equivalent album units (485,000 pure album sales) according to Nielsen Music. The album becomes Beyoncé’s sixth straight No. 1 album, making her the first act in history to have their first six studio albums to top the charts. Queen Bey also becomes the first act to debut atop the list with their first six LPs.
LEMONADE now joins Beyoncé’s self-titled 2013 album, 4 (2011), I Am… Sasha Fierce (2008), B’Day (2006) and her 2003 debut Dangerously In Love, all landing No. 1 on the album charts.
