Music World/Columbia Records proudly announces the release of Above and Beyoncé Video Collection & Dance Mixes.  Providing a showcase for Beyoncé's first foray into the world of electronica, Above and Beyoncé is a breathtaking assemblage of groundbreaking music videos and dance-oriented remixes of chart-topping tracks from the artist's #1 international smash hit album, I AM...SASHA FIERCE.

Above and Beyoncé Video Collection & Dance Mixes will be available nationwide exclusively through Wal-Mart, and at J&R Music World in New York, beginning Tuesday, June 16.  Above and Beyoncé will also be made available in Canada and Japan.

An essential companion to Beyoncé's best-selling I AM...SASHA FIERCE album, the Above and Beyoncé DVD brings together the superstar's immensely popular videos from the album, including clips of her new single "Ego" (featuring Kanye West) and the iconic "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)," whose intricate choreography launched what the Toronto Star called "the first major dance craze of both the new millennium and the Internet."  The hour-long DVD includes seven full-length music videos as well as 20 minutes of exclusive behind-the-scenes b-roll footage, making the collection a must-have for Beyoncé fans the world over.

Adding to the collection's indispensability, Above and Beyoncé includes a pumping party-ready CD of cutting-edge electronica, hit tracks from I AM...SASHA FIERCE remixed for this collection by some of the hottest producers and mixers in dance music today.

Meanwhile she is getting ready to bring her extravagant tour to the states, currently playing to sold-out arenas throughout Europe, Beyoncé's "I AM..." World Tour is shaping up as one of 2009's hottest concert attractions.  The artist kicked off the European leg of her world tour in late April with an electrifying sold-out performance in Zagreb, Croatia where more than 17,500 ecstatic fans -- the largest single audience for an international artist in Croatian concert history -- danced, sang-along and partied with the iconic superstar during a history-making two-hour show.  Her first of four sold-out shows at London's 20,000-seat O2 Arena, Europe's largest in-door concert venue, inspired the Telegraph.co.uk to headline its review: "Beyoncé Knowles raised the bar for what can be done in an arena show at the O2."

Beyoncé is bringing her 2009 "I AM..." World Tour to North America this summer with a series of full-length concerts beginning at New York's Madison Square Garden in June and ending with a four-night residency at Encore at Wynn Las Vegas July 30-August 2.  Overwhelming demand for premium packages and general tickets for the shows have made the "I AM..." tour one of the fastest selling concert events of the year.   A second Madison Square Garden concert date has been added in New York City on June 22
