Beyoncé

Beyonce’s highly anticipated studio project 4 is set to release on June 28^th, but that hasn’t stopped the Internet from getting its hands on it. Weeks before the album was supposed to hit stores, the 12-track set was leaked across the web. With reviews already rapidly circulating, Sasha Fierce has received some mixed opinions from critics. Regardless of the album’s reception from various media outlets, look for 4 to be a tremendous commercial success. Beyoncé’s popularity alone should translate to yet another top spot on the Billboard charts. The queen of R&B is in the midst of a mini-resurgence, and will grace the cover of W Magazine along with Christina Aguilera in July. And after witnessing beaux Jay-Z steal the show at the Glastonbury Music Festival in 2008, B is prepared to shut it down with a headline performance in the United Kingdom as well. On another note, look out for her third fragrance Pulse to hit stores sometime in September.
