Beyoncé set to become first ever artist to achieve six consecutive chart-topping albums in the US

Beyoncé is set to break more records with her brand new visual album Lemonade.

The pop superstar looks set to become the first artist in history to achieve six consecutive number one albums in the US.

According to Billboard, Beyoncé is on track to nab the number one position this week after debuting her new album in its entirety on HBO at the weekend.

Lemonade is expected to earn the equivalent of 555,000 album units from streams alone by the end of the week and 450,000 in traditional album sales.

The superstar’s last album, simply called Beyoncé, debuted at number one when it was released in 2013, as did her four previous efforts including 4 and I Am… Sasha Fierce.

The only other acts to have achieved five consecutive number ones are DMX and The Kingston Trio.

Just a few days after the release of her much-talked-about album, Beyoncé embarked on her world tour.

Playing new material from Lemonade for the first time, the singer kicked off her show in Miami on Wednesday.

Denouncing rumours that her marriage to Jay Z is in trouble, the singer dedicated song Halo to him during the concert.
