Beyoncé’s third solo album I Am…Sasha Fierce has only been at retailers for a few days, but it’s expected to debut at No. 1 and move over half a million copies in its first week.

According to early sales reports, B’s latest effort is looking like it will put up numbers between 500-550,000 in its debut week, making this Beyoncé’s third No. 1 solo album and second solo album to go gold in a week (B’Day did 541,000 in 2006).

The lead single “If I Were a Boy” is currently No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, while “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)” is No. 1 on iTunes.
