Beyonce Makes Billboard History as ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ Debuts on Country Airplay Chart

Published: Friday 16th Feb 2024 by Sam

Beyonce is already making history with her new single ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ – one of two new tracks serviced from  ‘Act II’ of her three-album project.

Anchored in Country, the track is blazing a trail in the genre.

Full story below…

The catchy cut has become the first song by a Black woman to place on the Billboard Country Airplay Chart this decade and in almost a decade.

Following just four days of tracking data, ‘Texas’ has debuted debuted at #59 on the tally.

In doing so, it becomes the first song by a solo Black woman to chart on the coveted count since Mickey Guyton’s ‘Heartbreak Song’ in 2016.

The achievement comes as ‘Texas’ looks poised to premiere high on the Billboard Hot 100 and possibly atop the overall Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

This latest development comes amidst mass discourse around the launch of Beyonce’s Country era in the context of radio and ahead of the March 29 release of ‘Act II.’

  2. marilyn monh-O-E ® 👠(#1 DIVA) February 16, 2024

    well , then she can’t pull the Race card anymore for not playing her song. The Blacks are crying! Keep that energy to your masters.

  3. Taylorism February 16, 2024

    In other news… in the UK she failed to gain another #1…. 😆

    • WeCameWeConquered February 16, 2024

      On 2 days of tracking d***!!

    • Fly Swatter February 16, 2024

      Hey dumm @sses

      You’re aware; country music is an AMERICAN genre right? The UK isn’t the target audience so the fact it charted there at all is a big win, smart one.

      Its amazing how much you l0sers hate on others’ greatness. Yoncé posts always have the most comments on this site. Y’all are keeping the 💡s on in this joint. Not a surprised though. People with no lives and no achievements have all the time in the world to hate on others actually doing great things. You’re obviously miserable. Get a job. Get a life.

      Don’t be a b*tch come take it to the floor now 🤪

      • All Lives Matters February 16, 2024

        She is lucky to crack Top 3..why yall mad?

  4. Too Funny…wow February 16, 2024

    Funny to see TGJ is pushing the narratives that she is huge. The fact is she just another well-marketed singer who needs big promos like Super Bowl to survive. Well…

    • !!!!! February 16, 2024

  12. Swahili Gurl February 16, 2024

    Janet is bigger than her! Fact doesnt lie unfortunately!

  13. Erika February 16, 2024

    Too much hype..overexposed…people are getting tired obviously. Her tema should slow down a bit, This gonna backfire her in the long run. Take a break!

    • Keith February 17, 2024

      I feel like Beyonce might be headed for overexposure. It’s inevitable when you get to her level…or at least it used to be. This is a different generation that requires CONSTANT content to remain engaged and moves on quickly if not given it. In the times previous those now recognized as legends didnt have the same fan climate. We shall see…especially if she tours again this year as rumored.

  14. Barbz February 16, 2024

    I blame TGJ for give her too much exposure. I mean there is a fine line between love and loathe. Lesson to be learned! Plus her husband’s rantings dont help her career either.

  15. Congratz! UK is not buying her cr@p. Only Top 10? LOL February 16, 2024

    She need to go n***….in Playboy 😉

  16. DJ February 16, 2024

    UK listeners basically say… G E N E R I C !

  17. Candace Owens February 16, 2024

    The first black woman to eat fried chicken this week! A huge record,- breaking achievement!

  18. MecostaDenada February 16, 2024

    Beyonce’s deal with Satan is probably the best one in the history of the world. She gets handed literally everything.

    • Gworl Bye February 17, 2024

      You might be right about that lol…

  19. Such a low class fanbase February 16, 2024

    Embarrassing to be a Beyhive….begging ppl to keep streaming her mess.

  20. Aj February 17, 2024

    I’m surprised everyone is eating this up. The song has all of the tropes – the ring ding ding sound and stereotypical lyrics

  21. blaque February 17, 2024

    people always hate on B like the same machine don’t play the trash from Taylor swift and act like it’s groundbreaking what she does. You have to follow this girl because I can’t even name her song,

  22. UHoesFunny February 17, 2024

    BEYYYYHAWWWWW!!! 🤠🐝

  23. GrowUpDollz February 18, 2024

    Yes, and?
