Beyoncé has once again made history with her latest album, Cowboy Carter, as it debuts at No. 1 on the U.K. chart, marking her first venture into country music. This achievement not only solidifies her immense popularity in the country but also establishes her as a trailblazer in the genre.
The Official Charts Company reports that Beyoncé is now the first Black artist to claim the top spot on the U.K. chart with a country album. In addition to her album's success, her lead single from Cowboy Carter, 'Texas Hold ‘Em,' has also returned to the No. 1 position on the songs ranking, making her the first artist to achieve a chart double in the country music category.
This marks Beyoncé's fifth No. 1 album in the U.K., following her previous chart-toppers Dangerously In Love, 4, Lemonade, and Renaissance. With this latest accomplishment, she now boasts a total of nine top 10 placements in the region, further solidifying her position as a dominant force in the music industry.
'Texas Hold ‘Em' has reclaimed the No. 1 spot for the fifth time, extending its reign as Beyoncé's longest-running chart-topping hit. The track initially reached the summit earlier this year shortly after its release in February, and its return to the top position underscores Beyoncé's enduring appeal and chart success.
