Beyonce and J. Cole may have collaborated on a bouncy bop named ‘Party,’ but today only one of them has cause for celebration on the charts – and that’s Queen Bey.
For, the diva’s blockbuster album ‘Cowboy Carter’ has scored a second week in pole position on the US tally – and, in the process, has denied the rapper’s newest effort ‘Might Delete Later’ the top spot.

Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)After a tight battle, ‘Cowboy Carter’ extends its spell at #1 on the latest edition of the Billboard 200 with 125,500 in its second week on the coveted count.
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)As reported, the ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ led set debuted at the top with the year’s biggest sales thus far (407,000).
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)Cole clocks in at #2 with his surprise mixtape.

Enjoying this album! So glad to see it on top for another week!
Big drop
True, but it’s still enough to top the chart again, which is something that some people were doubting would happen based on Cole’s projections and early top ten projections. I think the following week will be pretty steady since physical albums and cds are now released to the market.
Well this week it’s a big drop. Next week next year hasn’t happened
Yess! F*** J. Cole, punk àss bitçh!!
I’m rooting for J Cole 😍😍😍
J Cole wrecked his reputation with that Kendrick diss……
Wow even Ariana did 200k in her second week. Beyonces sales are always front loaded.
Get that White coins 💅🏻 now all the Black artists are going country just because of getting more White coins. #Still A S l a v e
Y’all want this album to flop so bad, but it just won’t 😂 GO COWBOY CARTER! 🤠 🇺🇸 🐎
I wish Beyoncé would do SNL.. I am not expecting her to do a lot of promo anymore but at least a late night show performance. I’m sure she can work something out with SNL that she can do a surprise night
Congratulations to SZA for her success with sos
Congratulations to SZA for her success with CNTRL
Since when did debuting at number 2 become bad smh I swear after 2010 ppl just started caring all about sales and not the quality of the project.
Congrats Beyonce for selling 20,500 pure album sales for 2nd week 😉
Week 1 = 168k
Week 2: 21k
Total: 189k pure album sales
You guys are just jealous of my success and accolades. Watching my every move, you are a fan.
If the whole by your bull isht, I don’t care-Prince
