Beyonce's secret fifth album released on 13th Friday morning has sold 828, 773 copies on Apple's iTunes store. The fourteen track album has topped the iTunes charts in 104 countries, the three day sales include 68, 000 copies in the UK and 617, 213 copies in the US. The album produced by Beyonce herself did not warn us a new album was being made therefore it was a great shock to the audience on Friday 13th December 2013 surprising along side fans and journalists. The album accompanied seventeen videos with fourteen tracks. Beyonce quotes: "I didn't want to release my music the way I've done it, I am bored with that. I feel like I am able to speak directly to my fans. There's so much that gets between the music, the artist and the fans. I felt like I didn't want anybody to give the message when my record is coming out. I just want this to come out when it's ready and from me to my fans."

I personally think, many audiences were shocked and surprised by the new fifth album as no one knew about the release. Beyonce has attracted a huge audience by this move as she's done something new in the music industry. It creates excitement as she's one of the most successful female artists and most known for her feminist character therefore the album would get a positive approach by critics/audiences.
