Beyonce's new baby makes Billboard chart debut

Los Angeles: She’s not even a week old, but the baby daughter of Beyonce and Jay-Z has become the youngest person ever to be credited on the US Billboard chart. The cries and coos of Blue Ivy Carter, who entered the world in New York on 7 January, are featured on the new single “Glory” released by proud dad Jay-Z on Monday. The track made its debut on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart this week at No 74 — the chart’s highest new entry — with the newborn credited as “featuring BIC”, Billboard said on Wednesday. For fans old enough to remember Stevie Wonder’s 1977 ode to his new daughter Aisha “Isn’t She Lovely”, which also featured the baby’s gurgles, Billboard had a simple explanation.

Jay-Z, 42, released “Glory” just 48 hours after the birth of the music industry power couple’s first baby. He also revealed in the lyrics that Beyonce, 30, suffered at least one miscarriage in the past. Reuters
