“Break My Soul” is also the first single on the album, and has amassed 84 million Spotify plays since it was released on June 20.

The song topped the official charts in a number of countries, including number seven in the US and number four in the UK.

By the way, he’s not the first Norwegian to help Beyoncé up to the top levels of the charts.

In 2006, Norwegian mega duo Stargate and Espionage helped write and produce one of their biggest hits, “Irreplaceable,” along with R&B star Ne-Yo and Beyoncé herself.

Stargate consists of Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel Storleer Eriksen, Spionage by Espen Lind and Amund Bjørklund.
