Beyoncé’s 5-Day-Old Daughter Makes a Billboard Debut

Nine years ago a 5-year-old boy Jordy Lemoine scored a Billboard Top 100 with the song about hardships of babyhood called Dur Dur D’Etre Bebe! that rose to No.82. He has been the youngest Billboard hitmaker long enough and now his title goes to a 5-day-old girl chirping about the joy of living – Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s first daughter Blue Ivy Carter!

Now it seems almost certain that she will make Billboard history of the earliest debut – in a duet with her papa, of course.

Blue Ivy’s arrival at Lenox Hill Hospital, NYC, on Saturday sent the overjoyed Jay-Z to the recording studio where the 42-year-old rapper poured out his feelings – “the most amazing” ones, according to him – in a song called Glory. The track included Blue Ivy’s vocal talents as she performed background cries to her daddy’s rapping. By current appraisals the duet will debut on this week’s R&B/hip-hop chart on Thursday at No. 74.

Commenting on the newborn’s chart success to the New York Daily News, Bill Werde, the magazine’s editorial director, called it a “historical” event in the charts’ existence of over 70-year span.

Meanwhile the youngest debut hitmaker came home from the hospital on Tuesday. Us Weekly reports that her parents are beyond themselves with emotions. Jay-Z and Beyoncé said they are “in heaven” after the birth that was “extremely peaceful” and offered thanks to all their fans who voiced their love, support and well wishes on the happy occasion.
