At time of press, Queen B's fifth studio album - which she unexpectedly released last Friday (December 13) - has managed to shift a huge 828, 773 copies in just three days.
Most of Bey's impressive sales came from her native America, where she broke the US first-week album sales record with 617, 213 copies sold.
In the UK, she entered the album chart at No.5, clocking up 68,000 copies sold in 48 hours.
Apple - who run the iTunes store - have since confirmed that the former Destiny's Child star has broken the previous first-week sales record set by Justin Timberlake with The 20/20 Experience, which shifted 580,000 copies in March.
Beyoncé is currently at No.1 on the iTunes chart in 104 countries.
The 32-year old previously said that her album, which came complete with 14 new tracks and 17 videos was inspired by her memories of Michael Jackson.
Bey explained: "I miss that immersive experience. Now people only listen to a few seconds of a song on their iPods and they don't really invest in the whole experience."
The likes of her hubby Jay-Z, Frank Ocean and daughter Blue Ivy all feature on the record.
I have to say I wasn't sure about the new album when I heard it at first, however I have played it a few times and I am loving it!!! Well done queen Bey
