Beyonce made history as the first Black woman to hit No. 1 on the ‘Billboard’ Top Country Albums chart with ‘Cowboy Carter’
Beyoncé has added another milestone to her iconic career as she became the first Black woman ever to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.
Beyoncé introduced Cowboy Carter in February with “Texas Hold 'Em,” which became the first song by a Black female artist to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country chart. “I love that she did her whole thing across the whole album. I love that she tried ‘Jolene.’ I thought that was bold,” he told E! News. “She’s the queen. Anybody saying anything different is a hater.”The success of Cowboy Carter comes after Beyoncé’s foray into country music was met with resistance from some country music fans and country music radio stations who ignored fan requests to play the songs on air.
In her acceptance speech, Beyoncé said, “Innovation starts with a dream. But then you have to execute that dream, and that road can be very bumpy. Being an innovator is saying what everyone believes is impossible.”
