Beyonce & Her Preggers Announcement Set New Twitter & MTV Record

Aug 30 | by Natasha

Beyonce & Jay-Z's unborn baby is already making history. It's only fitting right? Thanks to Bey's pregnancy announcement at the MTV VMA's Sunday night, Twitter was set on fire like never before, and MTV raked in history making numbers in their network's history.

Deets inside...

It took Baby Carter's mom and dad some years to start making history. It only took this one a few (about 4) months. In addition to all the hot performers adding to the numbers, once Beyonce held her belly on the MTV red carpet, then dropped the mic and showed her protruding baby bump, ish got crazy.

Reportedly, when Bey made her big reveal, Tweets were sent out via the social networking site at 8,868 tweets per second. This beat the previous record of a little over 7K tweets per second when Japan beat the U.S. Women's soccer team this past summer.

And that's not the only record breaking moment. MTV reports that they had their biggest audience in the network's history with a record-breaking 12.4 million total viewers. 8.5 million of those viewers were ages 12-34.

In addition, the VMAs is the #1 cable telecast of 2011 with 12-34 demo and the #1 non-sports cable telecast of 2011 with total viewers.

And MTV digital saw their largest mobile, twitter, and other social networking numbers in their history.

The Randomness:

1. T.I. is set to get released to a halfway house tomorrow, a month early. Story

2. No ID was just named to Def Jam VP position. Story

3. There's always that ONE drunk uncle... Story

I am not understanding how

I am not understanding how people can be so hateful and negative over Bey and Jay, a married couple having a baby, when many people on this site was wishing Fanny lots of luck on her pregnancy saying her baby is a blessing from God. Why is Fanny baby a blessing and Bey and Jay baby hit with such negativity?

In other record breaking

In other record breaking news, glitter, bedazzlers and leotards sold out within 21 seconds since the annoucement that Bey and Jay are gonna have the last child on earth. Stans were in a tizzy because now these items are on back order and the stores weren't sure they could stock them in time of the birth of the second coming of christ. Once the baby is born, we will have a new holiday to celebrate in addition to Jesus Christ's birthday. Back to our regularly scheduled program.

Beyonce is a marketing

Beyonce is a marketing campaign, everything she does is for promotion. Let's just be real, she advertised her performance on the red carpet knowing the press would make noise before the show..and of course us nosy people want to see her performance and her belly, and she delivered. Great marketing, and it helped to revive the VMAs. I guess that's good business, but sometimes it just rubs me the wrong way...too pro-profit.
