In January, her song “Texas Hold ‘Em” reached number one on the Billboard country song charts. Now the singer is making history again.
The Angels.
US superstar Beyoncé has reached the top of the Billboard country album charts with her album “Cowboy Carter“. The 42-year-old is the first black woman to top the US country album charts, as the US magazine “Billboard” reports.
The singer’s eighth solo studio album sold 407,000 copies in the US in the first week of its release in late March and also reached the top of the overall Billboard 200 chart, it said. Beyoncé made history in January when her song “Texas Hold ‘Em” reached number one on the Billboard country song charts.
The Texan herself had written that “Cowboy Carter” was “not a country album” but a “Beyoncé album”. The artist shared in the Instagram post that she “felt unwelcome” in the country music scene during a previous experience. In the United States, country is still considered a genre of music that is primarily made and listened to by white men. Country singers like Dolly Parton and Carlene Carter welcomed Beyoncé into the genre. (dpa)
