Beyonce made history as she became the first Black woman to have a No. 1 country song with her new single ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’
Beyoncé continues to be a trailblazer as she became the first Black woman to have a No. 1 hit country song.
Billboard revealed on Tuesday, February 20, that Beyoncé’s new single “Texas Hold ‘Em” reached the top of the Hot Country List. Her second song “16 Carriages” also made the list in the No. 9 spot. The tracks are currently on the Billboard 100 chart in the 2nd and 38th spot, respectively. Billboard also noted that Beyoncé is the first woman to have a No. 1 song on both Hot Country Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
Rolling Stone later reported that Beyoncé is the first Black woman to achieve the top spot on the Hot Country List since its creation in 1958.
Beyoncé debuted her new country music era when she dropped the tracks after announcing her upcoming album, Renaissance Act II, during Super Bowl LVIII earlier this month.
