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.
