Beyoncé surprised fans with the release of two new songs, 'Texas Hold ‘Em' and '16 Carriages,' shortly after the Super Bowl. Departing from her usual sound, Beyoncé ventured into the country genre, a move that has proven to be a success.
In the U.K., 'Texas Hold ‘Em' has maintained its position at No. 1 on the singles chart for four consecutive weeks, marking a significant achievement in Beyoncé's career. This track has now become her longest-charting No. 1 hit in the U.K., surpassing previous hits like 'Crazy In Love' and 'Beautiful Liar.'
Prior to 'Texas Hold ‘Em,' Beyoncé's singles had never held the top spot for more than three weeks in the U.K. This new accomplishment solidifies her status as a chart-topping artist in the country.
While 'Texas Hold ‘Em' faces competition from other popular tracks, it has already made a lasting impact on the music scene. Despite debuting at No. 9, the country single climbed to the No. 1 position and has remained in the top 10 for a month.
Beyoncé has achieved success with six songs reaching No. 1 in the U.K., with 'Texas Hold ‘Em' being her latest addition to this list. Her ability to reinvent her sound and captivate audiences across genres continues to showcase her versatility as an artist.
As the Official Charts Company prepares to update its rankings, 'Texas Hold ‘Em' may soon relinquish its top spot. However, its impact on the music industry and Beyoncé's legacy as a chart-topper are undeniable.
