Beyoncé Becomes First Black Woman To Top Country Music Chart With Her Single “Texas"

Beyoncé continues to break barriers.


One year after becoming the artist with the most Grammy wins in history, the Houston-born superstar has notched what once may have seemed an even more unattainable record: becoming the first Black woman to reach No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.


Her song “Texas Hold ‘Em,” released February 11, debuted at the top of the Hot Country Songs list. What’s more “16 Carriages,” another single from her upcoming album landed at No. 9. The songs debuted at No. 2 and No. 38, respectively, on the Billboard Hot 100. Over the course of her solo career, the singer has topped the Hot 100 eight times.


Per Billboard, Beyoncé also made history this week as the first woman to have topped both Hot Country Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs lists. Morgan Wallen, Justin Bieber, Billy Ray Cyrus and Ray Charles are the only other acts to have led both charts.
