Beyoncé Is The First Black Woman With A No. 1 Country Song — And It’s About Time
HuffPost
"Texas Hold 'Em," the 32-time Grammy winner's first foray into country music, is a certified smash — despite vocal pushback from conservatives.
Beyoncé’s first-ever foray into country music is making history.
On Tuesday, Billboard confirmed that “Texas Hold ’Em,” one of two new songs that dropped Feb. 11 during the Super Bowl telecast, will appear atop this week’s edition of its Hot Country Songs chart.
By securing the top spot, Beyoncé becomes the first Black female artist to land a No. 1 on the chart, which measures the 50 most popular country songs in the U.S. Her second new track, “16 Carriages,” will come in at No. 9.
“Texas Hold ’Em” and “16 Carriages” are set to be featured on Beyoncé’s “Renaissance: Act II,” the second installment of a three-act project that began with her 2022 album, “Renaissance.”
Though details of “Act II” are scarce, the album appears to embrace a country-rock sound, as evidenced by the first two tracks and Beyoncé’s cowgirl-inspired look at the Grammy Awards earlier this month.
