She isn’t even a week old and daughter of Beyonce and Jay-Z is already making history.

It comes as no surprise that the king and queen of R&B would spawn a star in the making, but who knew that Blue Ivy Carter would make history just days after her birth.

Blue is the youngest person ever to make the Billboard charts, the website reported. Proud papa Jay-Z released the single “Glory” in honor of his daughter’s Jan. 7 birth, and the track quickly shot up to number 74 on Billboard’s R&B/ Hip-Hop songs.

The song, billed as “Jay-Z featuring. B.I.C.” — Blue’s initials — pays homage to the first daughter of R&B. Blue can be heard crying in the background of the song. (RELATED: Beyonce had a miscarriage before Blue Ivy)
