Chart Check: With ‘Cowboy Carter,’ Beyonce Breaks Tie with Janet Jackson To Become the Black Woman with the Most #1 Hits in Billboard 200 History

Published: Friday 12th Apr 2024 by Rashad

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.

And while those accomplishments are plenty to celebrate, ‘Cowboy’ also helped Queen Bey gallop across a unique historic finish line – surpassing Pop Queen Janet Jackson in the process.

Before Sunday (April 7), Jackson and Bey were tied for most #1 hits among Black women in the nearly 80-year history of Billboard’s all-genre album chart (7 each).

With the addition of ‘Cowboy,’ the latter trots ahead with her 8th chart championship.

Among all women, Bey is now fourth place on the all-time list behind Taylor Swift (13), Barbra Streisand (11), and Queen of Pop Madonna (9).

Look below to see who joins Bey on this week’s updated Chart Check: Billboard 200.

        Don’t matter how long it took her, she’s still getting number albums and breaking records 27 years into her career.

      • Diabetes UNBOTHERED April 12, 2024

        Beyonce has 11 #1 Albums if you count DREAMGIRLS, The #1s, and SURVIVOR.

        Act III pending 🎸

  4. Gworl Bye April 12, 2024

    Took her long enough, like 20 years to do it lol, plus Janet hasn’t released an album in like almost 10 years lol.

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED April 12, 2024

      Beyonce is more ICONIC & LEGENDARY than Tranet will ever be. And has survived COMMERCIALLY longer than tranet.

      Act III is Guaranteed to go #1 and so will the album that follows it. Too big to fail is such a thing u know 🐝 🍯

      • Damita Jo April 12, 2024

        I find it funny how people talk crap about Janet to uplift Beyonce when Beyonce is the one that has praised Janet, gone to her concerts, dressed up as Janet, paid tributes to Janet…lmaoooo Beyonce knows who to bow down to.

  5. IJS April 12, 2024

    What difference does any of this make? Ok, so a massive amount of people have listened to her album. Does this mean she can cure cancer or something now? What benefit do these stats provide to the general public??

    • MecostaDenada April 13, 2024

      Beyonce is a lot of people’s idol god. It doesn’t do anything for anybody at the end of the day.
      This just gives them something else to worship her for.

  6. B Pleassseee April 12, 2024

    Fun fact: it took janet nearly thirty years to get 7 number 1 albums and all of her solo albums didn’t reach number 1!

  7. Diabetes UNBOTHERED April 12, 2024

    Crazy in Love was THE END OF CAREERS.📃

    IRREPLACABLE was the CALM B4 THE NEXT STORM. 🌩

    SINGLE LADIES was THE FINISHER. 👊🏽

    RUN THE WORLD was THE DROUGHT. 🏜

    DRUNK IN LOVE was the EPIC FLOOD.💧

    FORMATION was THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON. 💣

    BREAK MY SOUL was the return of BEYSUS CHRIST. 🙏🏼

    • MecostaDenada April 13, 2024

      I hate it for you, Chile, when Christ does return. You and Beyonce will be roasted on the same skewer. You better repent from the blasphemy, and stop worshipping that demonic a**Ed woman before it’s too late.

        we are talking about living people? do you understand? stop dragging Crackney from hell. She is busy smoking crack in the death valley.

  9. DaAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaa April 12, 2024

    I still think about Tina liking the post of the assistant shading Janet Jackson and Beyonce ignoring it completely.

    That was so disrespectful, I still can’t shake it off my head.

    Beyonce and Tina lost so many respect points with that.

    At the least Beyonce should have made a special tribute to Janet on her tour when it happened no just sending her mom to apologise.

    👎

  10. Pat April 12, 2024

    Be sure to catch queen Janet tonight grace her presence on Fallon

  11. Damita Jo April 12, 2024

    Janet is the Queen !! Her music is timeless and forever in our hearts !! The Jackson’s shaped all our generations !! Janet doesn’t need to be in drama to get noticed her talent speaks for itself!
    Janet non number ones are more timeless and better than Beyonce

  12. Kelly Rowland stan April 12, 2024

    I love beyonce, but no album she has every put out will touch Control or the velvet rope. And it’s not up 4 debate

  13. Velvet Rope April 12, 2024

    Janet is in Rock n Roll hall of fame. Enough Said! She is way above and beyond All these other artist today including Beyonce

  14. Destiny’s real child April 12, 2024

    Janet…PERIODT 🔥🔥🔥 She’s in a league of her own. Living legend is still selling out concerts in her early 50s and it’s 2024.
    Don’t get me wrong, Beyonce is an amazing and talented artist, but give credit to where credit is due, even Beyonce does…She has praised Janet (and Michael) ever since she was a little girl.
    Thank you. Bye now.

  15. Cowboy Casanova April 12, 2024

    This isn’t even a contest – Janet wins. And there’s very specific reasons…

    Firstly, no Janet, no Beyonce. In every way. She was a massive trailblazer.

    Secondly, Beyonce is a bit phony. She wouldn’t even call herself a feminist until recently. She didn’t explicitly touch social issues until after MeToo and BLM – when it no longer possessed a commercial risk. This tells me that her decisions are commercial, not artistic. Compare this to Janet, who made a feminist statement in Reagan’s America and Rhythm Nation in the age of Whitney Houston. The Velvet Rope is still the blueprint for female pop albums. She’s far more daring, and succeeded against much bigger odds. I’m glad she’s getting some of the credit she deserves atm. That means more to me than sales, tour gross or vocals.

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED April 12, 2024

      Janet is limited to doing MILITARY DRILL SERGENT POP MUSIC & STYLISTIC R&B which is OUTDATED & FORGETTABLE. Beyonce can do way more genres hence recent CRITIC6S ACCLAIM & Grammys.

      Janet only has 5 Grammys 😆 🤣 😂 🐝 🍯

      • Cowboy Casanova April 12, 2024

        You can’t compare Janet The Blueprint to a Xerox copy Beyonce …..

      • Diddy April 13, 2024

        Janets’ 20 Y.O. Quality Is far better than Bey’s Lemonade lol 😂

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED April 12, 2024

      The LEMONADE Era put Janet’s entire Career to rest. 🛌 😴 💤

      • Cowboy Casanova April 12, 2024

        Janet built the house Beyonce now lives in…. there would be no formation without rhythm nation ….Be humble. Beyonce is declining now commercially compared to 2008.

      • Diabetes UNBOTHERED April 12, 2024

        Janet DOES NOT have a commercial edge over Beyonce, and with EACH ERA Beyoncé’s Tree 🌳 sprouts more and more branches & leaves. Janet is and always has been Disposable… emphasis on HAS BEEN 🐝 🍯 😆

      • Diddy April 13, 2024

        Janet’s non number one hits are far iconic than Lemonade and Cowboy fatter

    😆 🤣 😂

    • Cowboy Casanova April 12, 2024

      You clearly described your job description

  17. MecostaDenada April 13, 2024

    Janet’s music, and all the music of the women on the top lists is better music than Beyonce’s. Their music is timeless. Beyonce’s is forgettable, and you outgrow it before the song even finishes. This chick got to the top on the strength of looks, performance ability, and witchcraft, but it definitely wasn’t the music all by itself. Because Drunk in love? Surfboardt? Monica Lewinski on her gown? Chile, please. 🤣 How legendary.

  18. Gilbert April 14, 2024

    Texas Holdem is disgusting. This is country music? A video of a woman parading semi-naked?

  19. Flaca April 15, 2024

    Damita Jo and 20 Yo debuted at number 2 but easily been number one if not for Janet being blacklisted. Janet would have 9 number one albums but that white dude took her off all main media airplay and radio. He ruined her career in many ways.
