Target and Amazon are refusing to stock Beyoncé's stealth, new self-titled album after the album was being sold exclusively on iTunes for one week, raking in over $9 million.
Wal-mart was glad to take on Beyoncé's sloppy seconds and was rewarded two weeks later, when the songstress made a surprise stop inside Wal-mart's Tewksbury, Massachusetts location. Imagine how surreal it must have been to hear Beyoncé make this announcement over the intercom:
“Everyone in the store right now, the first $50 of your holiday gifts are on me. Merry, merry Christmas from Beyoncé.”
Today reports 750 shoppers were in the store, which seems a little steep for a suburban Walmart, but who are we to question numbers. This generous publicity stunt (to the tune of $37,500) erased almost all of the egotistical assumptions we have about the Carter family.
If 14 songs and 17 music videos weren't enough Beyoncé for you, you should consider purchasing some of this amazing Beyoncé fan art we found on etsy:

Only Beyoncé can pull off blue eye shadow. We can't believe that this is a drawing by SimpleElegantDesigns, and not a painting.
