Beyoncé has made history, yet again, after becoming the first Black woman to top the Hot Country Songs chart with her hit track, Texas Hold ‘Em.

Her feat comes after receiving praise for both of her new country songs from some of the genre’s top artists, including Maren Morris and Lainey Wilson, who warmly welcomed the 42-year-old superstar into the country music community this week.

Texas Hold ‘Em, which was released on February 11 and serviced to country radio just two days later, pushed back Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves duet, I Remember Everything, from the top spot, where it has sat for 20 weeks.

The 32-time Grammy winner’s other country track, 16 Carriages, which dropped on the same day as Texas Hold ‘Em, debuted at number 9.

Both of the mother-of-three’s songs were announced in a Verizon commercial that aired during CBS’ broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII.

The wife of rapper Jay-Z is set to release an entire country album, titled Act II, on March 29 as a follow-up to her 2022 Renaissance LP.

According to Billboard, Texas Hold ‘Em received ‘19.2 million official streams and 4.8 million in all-format airplay audience and sold 39,000 in the U.S. through February 15.’

Meanwhile, the outlet added that 16 Carriages drew ‘10.3 million streams, 90,000 in radio reach and 14,000 sold.’

She is currently the first and only woman to have topped both Hot Country Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

The performer’s latest accomplishment comes after her fans forced a country music radio station to play Texas Hold ‘Em after they initially refused.

Last week, a Twitter user under the handle @jussatto said that the Ada, Oklahoma-based country music station KYKC had declined their request to play her new single Texas Hold ‘Em.

‘I requested Texas Hold ‘Em at my local country radio station (KYKC) and after requesting, i received an email from the radio station stating “We do not play Beyoncé on KYKC as we are a country music station,”‘ the social media user said, along with a screenshot of the reply they received from the radio station.

The user added: ‘This station needs to be held accountable for their blatant racism and discrimination against Beyoncé.’

The posts garnered multiple responses from Beyoncé fans upset with the purported exclusion.

The Twitter user subsequently told TMZ that their initial request to the station read: ‘Please play the new song, Texas Hold ‘Em by Beyoncé,’ adding they believed that the station should have been aware Beyoncé was set to release new music in the country genre.

A rep for the station told TMZ last Tuesday that the reason they hasn’t played the songs – Texas Hold ‘Em and 16 Carriages – is that they have not been provided with them. Another local station, KECO, confirmed to the outlet that it had not been sent copies of the songs.

The station KYKC did ultimately receive copies of the tracks, as it told TMZ and began playing Texas Hold ‘Em Tuesday.

At the time, it tweeted a screenshot of its playlist, acknowledging that the single was now in its rotation: ‘Lots of call coming in for Beyoncé’s Texas Hold ‘Em. It’s coming up in minutes.’

Act II is Beyonce’s eighth studio album.
