Which Beyoncé album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 in 2022?

The story behind the answer

Renaissance debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 in 2022.

Beyoncé released Renaissance on July 29, 2022, as her seventh solo studio album. It opened with 332,000 album-equivalent units in the United States, according to Billboard, giving her a seventh consecutive number-one solo album on the chart.

The album draws heavily on house, disco, dance, and queer club traditions. Its lead single, “Break My Soul,” became Beyoncé’s first solo number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 since “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” in 2008.

Renaissance is the first act in Beyoncé’s planned three-part project. It is distinct from The Lion King: The Gift, her 2019 album connected with the film, and from Lemonade, her 2016 studio album.
