Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticBeyoncé’s “Renaissance” album rode in on a steed of its own to register the second-best first-week numbers so far this year.
It trails only Harry Styles’ latest, as 2022 album premieres go.The debut figure for “Renaissance” was 332,000 equivalent album units, per Luminate Data, as reported Sunday in Billboard — a tally that represents the best first week for a female artist this year.“Renaissance” came in short of supplanting Styles’ “Harry’s House” as the top-debuting album of the year; Styles’ collection bowed with 521,000 units in June.
