Renowned singer and songwriter Beyoncé has achieved a remarkable milestone with her latest single, 'Texas Hold ‘Em,' claiming the top spot on the Hot 100 chart in the U.S. This accomplishment places her in an exclusive group of women in American history who have managed to lead both the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts with the same track.
'Texas Hold ‘Em' is only the sixth song to achieve this dual chart-topping feat, highlighting the rarity of a country hit becoming the number one song across all music genres. Beyoncé now joins a select group of female musicians who have accomplished this impressive feat.
Beyoncé is the fourth woman in U.S. history to achieve chart-topping success on both the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts with the same song, as reported by Billboard. The last time a solo female artist achieved this was in 2023 when Kacey Musgraves and Zach Bryan's collaboration 'I Remember Everything' reached the pinnacle of both charts simultaneously.
Two other notable women who have achieved this milestone are Taylor Swift and Dolly Parton. Taylor Swift accomplished this feat twice with 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' in 2012 and 'All Too Well (Taylor’s Version)' in 2021. Dolly Parton, a trailblazer in the music industry, was the first female artist to achieve this dual chart-topping success with '9 to 5' in 1981 and 'Islands in the Stream' in 1983, setting a precedent for female artists in the industry.
'Texas Hold ‘Em' debuted at number one on the Hot Country Songs chart, propelling Beyoncé to make history with her latest single. Despite initially securing the second spot on the Hot 100 chart, the track has now ascended to the top position, solidifying Beyoncé's place in music history with this remarkable achievement.
