"Ring the Alarm" became Beyoncé's biggest debut on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, entering at number twelve in 2006,[12] whereas "Irreplaceable" remained at the top of the same chart for ten consecutive weeks in 2006–07, becoming her longest running single at the pole position of that chart.[13] As of September 2013, B'Day had sold over 8 million copies worldwide,[14] and as of January 2014, 3.36 million copies in the US.[15]

Beyoncé's third album, I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008), was a dual disc album, intended to reflect the two facets of her personality.[16] It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart[17] and included the singles "If I Were a Boy", "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" which topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart for four weeks,[18] "Halo" and "Sweet Dreams". I Am... Sasha Fierce sold 3.12 million copies in the United States,[15] and the album has sold over seven million copies worldwide as of March 2011.[19] Beyoncé's fourth studio album, 4, was released in June 2011 and debuted atop the US Billboard 200 chart.[20] The album's first two singles, "Run the World (Girls)" and "Best Thing I Never Had", both reached the top ten in several charts worldwide, and the fourth single "Love on Top" topped the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for seven consecutive weeks.[21] As of May 2013, 4 has sold 3 million copies worldwide[22] and, as of January 2014, 1.39 million copies in the US.[15]

Beyoncé's self-titled fifth album, Beyoncé, was unexpectedly released to the iTunes Store in December 2013 and debuted atop the US Billboard 200 chart, becoming her fifth consecutive number one album in the United States. After just three days of sales, Beyoncé became the fastest selling album ever from iTunes, both in the US and worldwide.[23] The album's biggest hit was "Drunk in Love", which reached number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.
