Beyonce breaks records with new album

Queen Bey surprised her Bey Hive with a new album and 17 music videos that had her critics bowing down at the genius marketing scheme. Without warning and with no publicity, Beyoncé Knowles released a new studio album on Friday, 13 December, and the experiment must have worked with record breaking sales. It looks like Bey, who takes on Rihanna on Batt le : Beyonce vs Rihanna (Thursday, 19 December, at 20:30) on Channel O, has changed the game in the industry, which doesn't typically keep secrets like this one.
