She came back from her career hiatus in 2011 with the release of 4, transitioning her sound to one that is heavily rooted in r&b versus the more pop sound of her earlier records. It was released to moderate reception and reviews, and although still debuting at number one, is the lowest selling album in her discography. In 2013 she was the main act for the Super Bowl Halftime Show, reuniting with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams for a performance of several Destiny's Child songs. Later that year she surprisingly released her self-titled album with no promotion and received critical acclaim. In a new strategy for albums, Beyonce filmed a music video for every song in the album, earning her praise from music critics.

In 2014 Beyonce went on a joint tour with her husband Jay Z to enormous commercial success, becoming one of the best selling tours of all time. She spent most of 2015 preparing for her next project that was to be released in 2016. In April, she released an hour long film on HBO, Lemonade, which included songs from the album of the same name. A concept album and film, Lemonade showed the journey Beyonce took when discovering that her husband has been cheating on her.

Over the course of her 19 year old career, Beyonce has proven herself to be one of the most successful artists in history. As a solo artist, she has sold over 100 million records and a further 60 million with Destiny’s Child. Combined with her husband, the two have an estimated worth of around a billion dollars, due to their massive success in the music industry. Beyonce has won hundreds of awards during her career, including winning 20 grammys, the most of any female performer in human history, and is arguably the most well known living performer today.
