Beyonce celebrated the release of her new self titled album at the New York`s school of Visual Arts on Saturday Dec 21.
Beyonce also became the first female to make it to number one on billboard charts with her first five albums.
Dressed in a black Ford dress and matching thigh high boots she played her 17 music videos and hosted a question and answer session.
The new record released on December 13 was not promoted and still managed to become the fastest selling album ever in iTunes and saw 800 000 copies being sold within three days.
She admitted to being nervous about secretly releasing her album to iTunes, “I’ve never done anything so brave in my life.”
Beyonce said: “I just got off the stage, I had a glass of wine and my cousin Angie was like, ‘Are you alright?’ because I was talking to myself and I was terrified. I was so scared.
“I had already gone through all the horrible ways it could go in my mind… I saw it live on iTunes and I waited for the first comment. Then I woke up the next morning and… [breaks into dance].”
The singer added: “It’s interesting how motherhood changes you and it changes your perspective on life. I took all the things that I wanted to change about myself and all the things I wanted to share, and I put it into this record.”
“More than the music, I’m proud of myself as a woman. The biggest message is owning your imperfections and all the things that make you interesting because I refuse to allow someone to put me in anybody’s box.
Several major music retailers are refusing to stock the physical copies of the album. Amazon.com is not selling her CD after Sony Music Entertainment struck an exclusive release deal with iTunes.
