Blue Ivy Billboard Record: Baby Is Youngest on Charts

We all know that Jay-Z and Beyonce's bouncing baby girl Blue Ivy is destined for greatness, but maybe we thought she'd at least wait until she could wipe the drool off her chin!

After papa Jay released his ode to his newborn daughter in the form of new track 'Glory,' the heiress to the throne has set a new Billboard chart record. As a featured artist on her famous father's new rap -- her first cries can be heard on the song -- Blue Ivy has become the youngest person ever to appear on any of the Billboard charts.

'Glory' debuted on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at No. 74 and was recorded when she was less than 2 days old. Blue Ivy is officially credited on the track as "B.I.C."

It looks like Jay took a cue from the legendary Stevie Wonder while recording the rap from New York's Lenox Hill Hospital. Wonder also captured his baby daughter Aisha's cries on his 1976 hit 'Isn't She Lovely,' only Wonder did not credit his newborn on the track.

Funnily enough, 'Glory' marks Jay's 107th career entry on the charts, mirroring the birth date -- Jan. 7 or 1/07 -- of his daughter.

Just another couple? I'm not really sure what other couple out there has made that much of an impact in music and entertainment. Why can't you ******** just be happy for them? So what your future didn't quite turn out like you wanted it to be and nobody cares about your baby. Doesn't mean you gotta ruin it for these power couple.

Well, you knew it was the end of AOL when HuffNPuff bought it out and articles like this one show you its decline. First...why is the media treating these people like they are the second coming. Two..Comparing this guy to Stevie Wonder is like compating Ronald Regan to Obama. Three..taking over a hospital and forcing other parents of newborns to wait to see their children is truly unacceptable. As I always say..it will be a trivia question in 20 years..if anyone remembers this. Society and the western civilization has gone to hell and here's a prime example of why.

People are acting like Jay-Z and Beyonce are royalty. Get over it! They are just another couple who brought a child into this world.

If they were smart they would keep their baby and their life just a little more private. Enjoy parenthood, don't make it a publicity stunt. Relax..and savor these moments for what they are.

The negativity and hate that u ppl spew at this couple is ridiculous,he is an artist it would b a no brainer for him to do this,his reaction at the MTV awards showed how happy he was he's not that great a actor,This couple fell in love,got married,and had a child,in that order they should have eveyone's admiration and respect,but u ppl are so jealous and envious they can't see whats right in front of u'r face, that this couple is happy, and deserve everything they have, and have worked for ,nobody gave them anything they had to work for it.

The dumbing down of America. How many people know these two, but don't know the ocean on the East coast? I think we're headed in the wrong direction people!

This is the dumbest thing I've heard of in a long time. Really, B.I.C. already she is not using her real name. No news here.
