Beyoncé is used to having a No. 1 song. The catch this time is it’s a country song.
“Texas Hold ‘Em” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart on Tuesday, the publication announced. She is the first Black artist to debut at No. 1 on the country chart.
“Beyoncé’s other new country song ‘16 Carriages’ ranks No. 9 on the chart,” CNN reported.
In accomplishing this feat, Beyoncé is one of only two solo women to achieve this. Taylor Swift did this with “Love Story (Taylor’s Version)” and “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version).” Both hit the top spot in 2021, according to Billboard.
Beyoncé’ is also “the first woman to have topped both the Hot Country and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts since the lists began in 1958,” CNN reported.
Both “16 Carriages” and “Texas Hold ‘Em” were released on Feb. 11.
