The Houston-born icon shattered barriers once again by becoming the first Black woman to dominate the Billboard Country Albums chart with her latest release, “Act II: Cowboy Carter,” soaring to the coveted No. 1 spot. This achievement adds another jewel to her crown as the album also claimed the summit of the all-encompassing Billboard 200 chart, marking her eighth consecutive chart-topping album.
Released just last month, the 27-track country opus has captivated fans, sending ripples through the music landscape. “Cowboy Carter” has not only been a hit among listeners but has also made waves in the streaming realm. Spotify revealed on social media that on its release day, March 29, the album became the most-streamed record of the year so far on the platform.
Moreover, “Cowboy Carter” earned the distinction of being the most-streamed country album by a female artist on Amazon Music on its debut day.
Before the album’s unveiling, Beyoncé treated fans to a taste of what was to come with two singles dropped on Super Bowl Sunday: “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages.” The former swiftly ascended to the summit of the Billboard Country Charts, solidifying Beyoncé’s status as the first Black woman to claim the top spot on that chart.
According to Luminate, an industry authority on data and analytics, “Cowboy Carter” amassed a staggering 407,000 equivalent album units in its inaugural week in the United States, a testament to its widespread appeal and influence.
As a Black woman blazing trails in the country music realm, Beyoncé challenges the conventional associations of the genre with White artists. The discourse surrounding Beyoncé’s foray into country music gained momentum when she graced the 2024 Grammy Awards adorned in full cowboy attire, making a profound statement without uttering a single word.
Beyoncé, serving as the album’s executive producer, declared it to be “the best music I’ve ever made” in a statement, underscoring her dedication to artistic excellence and innovation.
