The good beginning underscores its chances to become the biggest debuting album by a female in 2013.
The 14-track album, available only on iTunes, is predicted to sell more than 600,000 copies before the end of the sales tracking period Tuesday, Billboard projects.
TIME.com reported that at 430,000 copies as of Saturday, the album is projected to be the biggest debuting album by a female artist since Taylor Swift's "Red," which sold 1.2 million copies in 2012.
In comparison, Katy Perry's "Prism" sold 286,000 copies in an entire week of its debut in October, Lady Gaga's "ARTPOP" moved 258,000 units and Miley Cyrus' "Bangerz" sold 270,000 in its debut week.
If the 600,000 mark is met, Beyonce will notch her best debut week and best sales week period of her career, the report said.
