Beyonce has ridden triumphantly to the top of the Billboard 200 with her new album ‘Cowboy Carter.’
And, true to form, she’s made history in the process.
Full story below…
The colossal LP arrived on March 29 as “Act II” of Queen Bey’s three-project arc following 2022’s Act I: ‘Renaissance.’
Serving as the diva’s formal foray into Country music, the project was preceded by chart-topping single ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ and promised to fuse a myriad of sounds. A promise it held to with splashes of Folk, Opera, and, of course, R&B.
Together with an eclectic list of guests such as Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Tanner Adell, and Willie Jones, all created the perfect swirl of buzz around the album – which has opened big on the US tally.
Indeed, per Billboard, ‘Cowboy Carter’ launches at #1 with the following Stateside units sold first:
407,000
It sees the LP arrive as the biggest-selling offering of the year so far.
Of ‘Carter’s total sum, streaming led the charge with 232,000 equivalent units – thanks to 300.41 million streams of the album’s 27 tracks.
It means ‘Cowboy Carter’ not only would have debuted at #1 based on streaming units alone. The LP would have been close to nabbing the highest-selling debut of the year based just on its streams alone.
The pure sales component of the total amounted to 168,000.
There’s more.
Beyonce makes history by becoming the first female artist to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 with each of her eight solo studio albums.
She also scores a #1 on the Top Country Albums, making her the first Black woman ever to have led the list since its dating to its January 1964 inception.
Huge congrats!
Yeh and next week won’t be number 1. J cole is gonna knock heroff. After just a week.. Which is shocking giving the amount of exposure cowboy carter has had.
Don’t matter. It was there!
Who cares LOL it still went #1 when all her haters said it would NEVER happen and would flop 😂 always moving the goal post lmfaoooo.

If they had released the Beyoncé album on the right day for a full tracking week, it would have sold over 1 million officially. Which it did, over 7 days.

Lol why dont you mention Taylor and Adele? Oh because those two are the queens. Way above Bey’s league. Multi-Album if the year winners.
Adele’s last album and residency flopped babe
This had to be one of the most thirsty; annoying and viscous marketing pushes ever. Jay said numbers don’t lie, but the way the story is told is beyond expression. The level of audacity and silencing is high this season. 1 Chop for cosplay fakeness (even tho you from Texas and been a southern baddie). It’s giving calculated rehearsed and greedy. Bye 🙏🏼🙏🏼 pleaseeeeee ❤️
Sounds like marketing…
So marketing and promoting your new album is being thirsty? 😂 you sound so fcking stupid LOL
You cannot tell me that Beyonce did not go to Satan and make a deal. Nobody on earth in history won this much. It’s something evil about this chick.
Stop this! I swear it’s annoying.

Beyoncé is the BIGGEST most critically acclaimed artists in the world. Name one person who currently gets this much notoriety, praises, press, from an album release, and to go #1 on a new country genre, NO ONE BUT BEYONCE! She is in a league of her own. The only female artist to ever debut#1 for her first 8 solo albums. Taylor can NEVER EVER achieve this accomplishment I’m afraid. BEYONCE IS KING! The haters don’t like this one bit 😂

Great!…No one else sells like this in this stage of their career. Looks like she’ll have 3 top ten songs as well and will most likely have simultaneous #1s on Hot Country album and songs chart. Cowboy Carter is off to a great start!
Whitney The Bodyguard 1 million first week. I Will Always Love You 634,000 first week
This sleeze got her album for 18.99 this album was not meant to be bought. Stream allusion queen I swear. She will never get the girls to buy 1 million album pure. They didn’t do it for her birthday in her prime so why would they do it for Jolene lol. Not really tryna comment too much cuz there are idiots out here that deflect n fuel the changing narratives. It’s giving threatening. None of the greats acted like this, nor their fan bases. These h*** got to go and everyone knows it. The justice league will assemble and fix this universe. But right now the forces of evil are definitely winning.
Cry Harder 😢 😭 😿

Dolly should tell Beyonce no refunds
Love Love this Album! Love Levi Jeans with Post Malone! That’s my favorite track!
This album is a masterpiece! Get it y’all!
Eight number 1 albums wow …. E I G H T….. 8! She has EIGHT solo albums.
ALL of her solo albums went #1.
Beyonce has been in the industry since 1997. That’s 27 years. And she’s still breaking records, changing the game and impacting the culture. Her sales and tour grosses don’t even need a mention.
Mind you, she’s 42 years old. An age where most are flopping, nowhere to be found or legacy/nostalgia acts.
As I’ve stated before, Beyonce is a LEGEND but not a LEGACY act. And you haters will remain in a tizzy because of it.
Congrats King Bey! 🐝

Dolly should snatch her song out Beyonce hands.
Whitney died 27 years into her career and struggled the years prior. Her last successful era was in 1998. Next!
