Satan Breaks Billboard Record

Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of Beyonce and Jay-Z, is less than a week old and she's already broken an all-time Billboard record as the youngest credited vocalist to ever be on the charts.
Shortly after his infant was born at New York City's Lenox Hill Hospital Saturday, Jay-Z, 42, headed into the recording studio to put his emotions into song with the new track "Glory." In the song — which features the proud papa rapping about "the most amazing feeling" — little Blue Ivy's cries can be heard. "It's historical. The charts are almost 72 years old, so to be the youngest ever to chart is something," Billboard's editorial director Bill Werde, told the New York Daily News of Blue Ivy's accomplishment.
The single enters the R&B chart at #74 next week.

RELATED: Stevie Wonder's 1976 classic Isn't She Lovely included the recorded babbles of his infant daughter Aisha, but Wonder never allowed the song to be released as a single.

UNRELATED: The first photos of Blue Ivy will like go for a scant $2M, far below the $10M paid for the first photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's twins.
