Queen Bey has made history once again. Yeehaw!
The superstar singer has become the first Black woman to top Billboard's country music chart after her new banjo-led single “Texas Hold 'Em" reached No. 1 on the country airplay chart this week.
She dropped the song on 11 February - unexpectedly during the Super Bowl \- along with her other single "16 Carriages,” which debuted at No. 9 on the same chart.
Both songs are expected to be featured on Beyoncé's upcoming, country-themed album, which is referred to as “act ii," on 29 March.
It's a follow-up offering to her 2022 album “Renaissance," which is frequently referred to as “Act I: Renaissance.”
Beyoncé announced the full-length new album after a Verizon commercial she starred in aired during the Super Bowl this month.
But this isn't the first time the former-Destiny's Child singer has ventured into country music.
Her acclaimed 2016 album "Lemonade," featured the country-infused track "Daddy Lessons". The following year, she teamed up with country icons The Chicks for a remarkable performance of the song at the Country Music Awards.
Following their CMAs collaboration, the foursome released their joint rendition of "Daddy Lessons" as an official single.
