Beyonce â 4 (Sony) – After leaking four weeks before it’s release, Beyonce’s fourth solo studio album ‘4’ lands in stores today (June 28). The set is lead by the singles “Run The World (Girls)” and “Best Thing I Never Had” and features collaboration with Andre 3000 and Kanye West.
“We all have special numbers in our lives, and 4 is that for me,” Beyonce stated about the new project. “It’s the day I was born. My mother’s birthday, and a lot of my friends’ birthdays, are on the fourth; April 4 is my wedding.”

I make music to make people happy and I appreciate that everyone has been so anxious to hear my new songs.”
