Beyonc� lays claim to two Top 10 spots on Billboard albums chart

The Beyhive is all abuzz.

Beyonce has achieved another sweet career feat with two albums in the top 10 of Billboard's 200 Albums Charts this week.

The surprise release of "Homecoming: The Live Album," the soundtrack to her 2018 Coachella extravaganza, is No. 4, moving up three positions from its debut at No. 7 after its midweek arrival on April 17.

The former Destiny's Child frontwoman's long-awaited "Lemonade" masterpiece has re-entered the chart at No. 9 _ after finally being released to all major streaming platforms following three years of exclusivity on Tidal, the streaming service in which she is a partner with her husband Jay-Z. The Grammy Award winning opus debuted at No. 1 when initially released on April 23, 2016.

According to "Billboard," this week marks the first time that the "Formation" creator claims a pair of concurrent Top 10 albums.

Beyonce is the first woman with two simultaneous Top 10 albums in more than two years.

Following the 2017 Super Bowl halftime show performance, Lady Gaga scored two Top 10s with 2016's "Joanne" and her breakthrough 2008 debut "The Fame."

Last year, red-hot rapper Future made Billboard history with the back-to-back releases of two albums both claiming the top spots on the charts on week after another. By the second week of release, he boasted the No. 1 and No. 2 spot for his self-titled and "Hndrxx" albums respectively.
