Blue Ivy is already making history
Music superstars ... Jay-Z and Beyonce
BEYONCE and Jay-Z's baby Blue Ivy is already making history — at less
than a week old.
The little nipper has broken chart records in the US by becoming the youngest
act ever to be credited on a Billboard Hot 100 hit.
Blue Ivy 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 on the internet on Monday.
It will debut at 74 on the new Billboard countdown when it is officially released today after notching up 1.7million audience impressions on 54 radio stations.
Jay-Z — whose real name is Shawn Carter — recorded the song less than 48 hours after his wife Beyonce Knowles gave birth and credited the youngster as B.I.C.
In the track — which was posted on Jay-Z's website Life and Times — he describes the new arrival as his "greatest creation".
He raps: "The most amazing feeling I feel, words can't describe what I'm feeling for real / Baby, I paint the sky blue, my greatest creation was you.
"You're the child of destiny / you're the child of my destiny / you're my child with the child from Destiny's Child."
Record breaker Blue Ivy 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.

The hip-hop mogul was by his wife's side as she delivered little Blue Ivy via
Caesarean section on Saturday, after checking in to New York's Lenox Hill
Hospital under the pseudonym Ingrid Jackson.
The couple are thought to have paid £800,000 to rent out the entire fourth
floor of the hospital, while security was increased with staff reportedly
being asked to turn in their phones and cameras being covered with tape.
