They're chart toppers in their own right but Beyoncé and Jay Z have raced ahead of Samsung and Coca-Cola in this week's Viral Video Chart.

The three-and-a-half-minute ad for the couple's forthcoming joint 'On the Run' tour features a host of big names, including Sean Penn, Jake Gyllenhaal, Blake Lively and Rashida Jones.

Expect intense dialogue, gunfights and bank robberies in this dramatic trailer, which could easily be mistaken for a real box office commercial.

Directed by Melina Matsoukas, the video has been shared 87,153 times since Saturday and has over five million views so far.

Jay Z was unwittingly involved another advertising campaign earlier on this week when Toyota ran a full page newspaper advert poking fun at recent reports of an elevator confrontation between the rapper and his sister-in-law Solange Knowles.
