Beyoncé has once again claimed the top spot on the Hot 100 chart with her latest single, 'Texas Hold ‘Em,' marking her latest achievement in a career filled with chart-topping hits. This recent success extends Beyoncé's impressive streak of No. 1 songs to over two decades, solidifying her status as one of the most successful musicians of our time.
With 'Texas Hold ‘Em' reaching No. 1, Beyoncé surpasses the legendary Aretha Franklin in terms of the longest streak of chart-topping hits. Franklin held the record with a span of 19 years, 10 months, and two weeks between her first and last No. 1 songs on the Hot 100 chart.
Prior to 'Texas Hold ‘Em,' Beyoncé's last No. 1 hit was 'Break My Soul,' which dominated the charts in the summer of 2022. This latest achievement further cements Beyoncé's position as a powerhouse in the music industry.
When considering the longest gap between a musician's first and latest No. 1 hits on the Hot 100 chart, Beyoncé ranks ninth overall. Her career trajectory mirrors that of other iconic artists such as Mariah Carey, Cher, Elton John, and Michael Jackson, all of whom have enjoyed enduring success on the charts.
Beyoncé's initial foray into chart-topping success began in 1999 with Destiny's Child's 'Bills, Bills, Bills,' marking the start of a remarkable journey that has spanned over two decades. Including her achievements with Destiny's Child, Beyoncé's reign at the top of the charts extends an impressive 24 years, seven months, and two weeks.
As Beyoncé continues to captivate audiences with her music and performances, her latest triumph with 'Texas Hold ‘Em' underscores her enduring influence and talent in the music industry.
