8 Years ago, I wrote this about Beyonce’s 5th Studio Album

Without Warning, Beyonce drops album on Friday the 13th, iTunes blowsup! (DOWNLOAD)

So right about now, our Twitter & IG stream just went ballistic on the news that our beloved Bellytich Bumpwatch alum, Beyonce has dropped her 5th album, aptly self-titled, Beyonce, today.

Only Beyonce will be so brazen to mess with all the Illuminati conspiracy theorists and release a visual album exclusively thru iTunes for the premiere price of $15.99 on FRIDAY the 13th!

Of all days, right?!

But for that handsome price, you get 14 tracks and 17 videos and includes cameos and collaborations with Jay Z, Drake, Frank Ocean, Kelly Rowland, and even her daughter Blue Ivy.

Edited to add:

Really! Seriously!? Good Question!

AND she is totally messing with the marketing and recording industry standard. No advance warning. No “accidental leaks”, no single by single release, just all at once BAM!!

Just like the old days when you didn’t really have an option but to purchase the entire album even if you just was in it for one measly song you heard on the radio.
