UK Chart: Beyonce Blasts to #1 as ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ Becomes Her First Chart-Topper in 14 Years

Published: Friday 23rd Feb 2024 by Sam

Beyonce has the world dancing with her new Country-kissed anthem ‘Texas Hold ‘Em.’

And the UK is especially enamored with the track because it’s flown to #1 in the region.

Full story below…

After a blazing start at #9 (with just four days of sales data), the catchy cut rises eight spots to #1 on this week’s Official UK Singles Chart. 

In doing so, the song became Beyonce’s sixth solo chart-topper in the UK.

Perhaps most notably, ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ serves as the superstar’s first #1 UK single in 14 years. Lady Gaga collaboration ‘Telephone’ topped the tally in 2010.

[Queen Bey went uncredited on the chart when Ed Sheeran’s ‘Perfect Duet’ hit #1 in 2017]

‘Texas Hold ‘Em,’ along with ’16 Carriages,’ is the first taste of Beyonce’s new ‘Act II’ album (due March 29 via Parkwood Entertainment / Columbia Records).

    And I really don’t know why, cause it’s quite a weak country song imo. She had way better Singles in the past

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED February 23, 2024

      I still haven’t heard either song yet to agree or disagree but it is ABOUT TIME Beyonce started getting #1s based off NAME ALONE.

      She’s an UNDERDOG, extremely UNDERRATED. Previously she needed Super heavy hitting songs like DRUNK IN LOVE to get a hit and it still never even went #1. And songs like partition and countdown which should have been hits but were not. So if this song went #1 despite being bad then GOOD.

      Morgan Wallace went #1 with one of the lamest songs I heard all year.

        Underdog? Underrated? No

        Beyoncé is easily and by far the most UNDERRATED Artist in music History. 💯

        The dangerously in love album is underrated as hell for instance, just listen to those epic runs at the end of the song SIGNS. Be Alive is easily her most UNDERRATED song, it’s EPIC but was paid DUST.

        But if it was. You wouldn’t acknowledge anything except for the fact that the ACT 2 album didn’t sell as much as WHITE PRIVILEGE 😆 🤣 😂…

        …Completely ignoring the fact that Beyonce is the biggest artist alive and still relevant after 4 decades. And is also the most successful BLACK artist of all time.

        3rd only behind TAYBLE STIFF & MADDINOSAUR.

        Beyonce is just as successful as Michael jackson if not more.

        Beyonce with 13 #1s has spent 60 weeks at #1 on Billboard Hot 100. Same amount as Rihanna with 14 #1s.

        On May 1, 2016, Beyoncé became the only artist to have their first six studio albums debut at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, following the release of her sixth studio album, Lemonade, surpassing DMX. Following the release of Renaissance and its debut atop the August 7, 2022, chart, she extended that record, becoming the only female artist to debut their first seven albums atop the chart.

      • Diabetes UNBOTHERED February 23, 2024

        *Correction…

        Beyonce with 13 #1s has spent 61 weeks at #1 on Billboard Hot 100. MORE than Rihanna with 14 #1s.

  6. Keith February 23, 2024

    Again, I hope she uses this success to blow the doors away for black country artists that have been toiling away in obscurity for some time. This is cute for her, but really needs to serve a bigger purpose.

    • Gworl Bye February 23, 2024

      It won’t. Everything she does is to serve her own ego.

    • UHoesFunny February 23, 2024

      It already had helped a number of black women in country music and pushed their streaming numbers upward over 185% per artist. So yeah, she’s definitely helping and impacting country music and reclaiming the genre as a whole. MOTHER’S IMPACT 🤠🐝🐝🐝 say Thank you Beyoncé 😘

    I predict ACT 2 sales 1.1 million SPS 1st wk.

    Look at all the whytes and racist in the comments who feel threatened by MOTHER’S SUCCESS. All these stat updates WON’T change the fact that QUEEN OF COUNTRY is indeed #1 on Billboard Country and Hot 100, and also #1 on US & UK charts. 😂😂😂 the meltdowns have begun, but QUEEN BEY is only getting started. Act ii hasn’t even released yet, and all this success 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 I’m afraid this will be her BEST ERA YET!!! Buckle up cowboy!!! BEEEYYYHAWWWW!!!! 🤠🐝🐝🐝🐝

  16. Billboard stats are boring February 24, 2024

    I be lovin Beyonce so much. Since dat track done came out I got me a budget blonde wig from da beauty supply store and a cowboy hat.

    Everyone be like “oooweee Keisha, you be looking just like dat yonce”. Now watch me drop it down.

  17. Big Shanice coming thru February 24, 2024

    I ain’t like country. I prefer music about poppin my cootie and booty hole brown. Me and my kids be singing that hood rat trap stuff.

    However I rep beyonce so I gots my cowboy hat on and a cheap blonde wig. Titties out like whoa on a headstand. Y’all heard?
