Beyoncé Giselle Knowles

On January 7, 2012, Knowles gave birth to a daughter, named Blue Ivy Carter, at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. On January 9, 2012, Jay-Z released "Glory", a song dedicated to their child, on his social website LifeandTimes.com. The song detailed the couple's pregnancy struggles, including a miscarriage Knowles suffered before becoming pregnant with their daughter. Because Carter's cries were included at the end of the song and she was officially credited on the song as "B.I.C", at 2 days old she became the youngest person ever to appear on a Billboard chart when "Glory" debuted on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at number 74. On February 16, 2012, it was confirmed by Ryan Tedder that Knowles had already begun work on two new albums, saying "The conversations about her next album literally just started and there are two projects happening." She is also working with The-Dream to record new music. On March 19, 2012, it was announced that Knowles would be performing at her first post-baby concerts at the Memorial Day Weekend premiere of the Revel Hotel Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey. She will take the stage at the resort's Ovation Hall for three nights: May 25, 26 and 27.
