Jay-Z's baby is a chart record breaker, and she's less than a week old

Written by . Published: January 12 2012

Beyonce and Jay-Z's baby girl is making pop chart history after becoming the youngest act ever to be credited on a Billboard Hot 100 hit.


Little Blue Ivy Carter was just hours old when proud dad Jay-Z recorded her crying and added it to the end of his new tune Glory, which he released to the Internet on Monday (09Jan12) - and the song is already a hit.


It will debut at 74 on the new Billboard countdown when it's officially released on Thursday (12Jan12) - and that's a new record for the artist credited as B.I.C.


She trumps Stevie Wonder's newborn Aisha, who appeared on his Isn't She Lovely anthem - because the soul man never officially credited his baby as a collaborator on the record.
