Beyonce‘s latest studio album, ‘Cowboy Carter,’ may have made headlines for making her the first artist in history to see her first 8 albums debut at #1 on the Billboard 200, but its history-making strides certainly don’t stop there.

In addition to topping the Country Album charts (a first for any Black woman), 23 of the project’s 27 tracks landed on the Hot 100 – making the 42-year-old the first female singer of color to have over 100 career hits on the Hot 100.
