The Lion King album of Beyonce flops after being "downloaded 949 times in five days"

Beyonce's Lion King album does not seem to have bitten fans as much as the hit movie.

The superstar has moved less than one thousand copies per download during its first five days in the UK.

Bey would have received 25 million pounds to make Nala's voice heard in the remake, as well as to record the soundtrack and album.

But only 949 fans have downloaded it while his interpretation of Disney clbadics seems to have failed, according to The Sun.

It's a new shot across the Atlantic for the 37-year-old American. A year ago, Everything Is Love – her album with her husband Jay Z – reached the fifth-place record. It was his worst album, even in the UK.

A source said, "The bosses have done everything possible to bring Beyonce aboard because they know that she is so loved.

"There was a lot of buzz around the film and Beyonce's involvement, but her derivative album was extremely disappointing.

"The Greatest Showman soundtrack is the best-selling album in 2018, and Disney hoped to make sure that someone the size of Beyonce would make an album like this could be worthy of her success.

"But his records clearly do not have the power of attraction they once had – for someone like Beyonce, who is considered an unstoppable force in music.

"It's remarkable that she's beaten on the charts by an emerging talent like Freya."

The incredible remake of Disney's animated film in 1994 by Jon Favreau shattered records.

The Lion King has earned approximately $ 433 million (£ 345 million) in worldwide box office sales worldwide.
